-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

Want to buy now (new number) and give to her for Christmas. We would then port her number over after Christmas?
I did ask her about what happens if i send in my trade and in and i wont receive my rebate due to incomplete submission of rebate. She said it a known issue and that should not affect the rebate.
As other users said, it goes individual to individual here of who can followup and has the time to go through.

Will that work?
YOU MUST ALSO WALK OUT OF THE STORE WITH A RETURN SHIPPING LABEL.
My rep messed up, after two different attempts and hours in the store, and did not process my trade correctly/did not give me a return label.
THERE'S NO WAY TO RETROACTIVELY GET ONE. Tmobile can't do it, Costco can't do it. If you walk out of there without one, you're screwed. You'll have to return the phone and also cancel the new line, which will make it so you can't do this again for 90 days.... sigh.

Does Costco accept return over 14 days?
I guess that I'll return the phones too in this case, the Costco employees are well under-trained, took me tons of hours and figured out nothing.

Have him add your name as an authorized user on his T-Mobile account, can be added online and provide you with his (account holders ) last 4 SSN. I've done this.
