-Simple Choice is NOT eligible. No, your account isn't special. It won't work. You have to change plans
-If you don't walk out of the store w/ the new Iphone in your hand, you will get bill credits. Which means you are stuck for 2 years and the extra you're paying for the line lessens this deal.
-Deal is $500 rebate for 6s phones, $700 for iPhone 7 and beyond. If you have an iPhone 6 or lower, you're getting no rebate. End of story. There are no loopholes or "what ifs".
-Phone screen can't be cracked. Not a "what about a little crack in the corner" comment. It will be rejected. Same goes for "what about a home button not working." Try it, but don't be surprised when it gets rejected. It's your $700 gamble. Stop asking if it will work.
-If your screen is cracked, get it fixed by a 3rd party place before sending in. It's typically less than $100
-Phone can be unlocked after 40 days w/ a request to Tmobile, and then used with any wireless service.
-Can't cancel line until you get your rebate; then go ahead and cancel or port out. Rebate takes 2-3 months to get
-Phone supports dual sim, so put your current ph# on the Esim (just go to a Tmobile store and ask) and the sim card with your new # in the phone. Yes, you can now have 2 numbers on new iPhones. Then you don't risk the phone # not being active while waiting for the rebate.
-If you want a cheap iPhone 7, look on the internet. Don't be lazy. Otherwise try a boost mobile store and read the "instore promo" offers on their website. Some are shady, so ask everything they're charging you for.
-Lastly, don't trust the Costco wireless reps. Hundreds of people here have done this and similar deals. They know better than any rep you will meet, as they've all done these deals.
My local store didn't have the iPhone 11 in stock and I was told I'd still get the GC rebate. After reading all the paperwork, when I got home, this isn't the case. Had to go back to cancel the line and wait for the phone shipment to arrive to go back and return that (which you have to mail yourself with the label provided). 2 weeks later, EIP is still on my account.
This is ABSOLUTELY wrong
ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

Open a new account(Essentials, Magenta...etc) with a new SSN(spouse, family...etc).
they need to provide mailing label
same thing happen to me on the last deal and i had to go back to Costco and get them submit the offer
Do you happen to know what's the process to have Costco to submit the offer?
The representative did a "fake upgrade" (go through upgrade process until label is created but before final confirmation, then exit the process) to print out the shipping labels for me.
I'm very unsure if the labels are good to use...

I only received a document named "T-Mobile Non-Financed Activation" form, and another named "T-Mobile Costco 2019 iPhone Activate Trade Save Promotion" with a "control number" on it which I've no idea what it is. Neither of them has plan monthly charges nor RMA numbers...
Would you mind uploading the images of the 2 documents with your information masked?
Thank you very much!

My understanding is with T-Mobile issued EIP credit deals, if you pay off the device you will still get the EIP credits as long as the line is still active.
So if you have a device still on an EIP (that you are getting monthly credits for from a previous promotion) that you want to trade in to take advantage of the Costco prepaid card offer can you:
- Pay off the remaining EIP balance, trade in the device
And
- continue to get the remaining EIP credits along with the prepaid card Costco rebate (since it's not technically on an EIP assuming you walk out of the store with the device)
-I wanted a black iPhone 11 and only purple was available. They called the surrounding stores (Colma, SF) and they did not have black there either. Oh well.
-Had to fill out some paperwork, take paperwork to check-out line, which were quite long considering I was there pretty early in the morning, go to merch pickup which nobody was working for a few min, get escorted back to wireless booth.
-Had to wait in check out lines again because the salesperson didn't add applecare which I had asked them to do. Applecare is $5 less if purchased from the kiosk.
I was fine with the wait but my 5-year old was getting super bored.
