Jeez...

-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.
Please make sure that you buy the phone outright, meaning limited colors and storage options.

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.
You are talking CRAP.....stop telling untruths.

This is ABSOLUTELY wrong

ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

I would suggest check their website first.. https://membershipwireless.com
Select T-Mobile, then select 'Device Family'
Currently it shows only 11Pro has skate and Gold color for 64GB.
I saw that. Wishful thinking they had green. I told them space gray was fine. Even though they said they had that in inventory, when they went back to get the item so I could purchase it nothing was there.

does anyone think it's a coincidence that the wireless advocates site show no purple/green colors for any T-Mobile Apple phones?

maybe they started using the Verizon/ATT/Sprint stock phones to fill inventory needs and that's why T-Mobile IMEI don't match for rebates.

This deal is great if your area store even carries T-Mobile. Around here (Raleigh, NC), they don't. We have 4 stores within 30 min drive, none carry T-Mobile at all. I was told by one salesperson it's due to "fraud" by customers getting deals such as this and not keeping the lines. Not sure how that's fraud, but whatever.

Enjoy it while you can, people. Since the Membership Wireless is unfortunately run by a 3rd-party company, it won't be long before all the locations stop selling T-Mobile. You can still order for "direct delivery," but that means no gift card, only the hated bill credits.


This whole experience this year has turned me off Costco Wireless. The 3rd-party company's customer service is absolute shite. They gave me some attitude and then claimed they don't have supervisors. They claim they can't search for stock: fine. They claim they can't even look up which stores carry T-Mobile: I don't believe that.
so you did a live chat with costco and they confirmed this as well?

I looked and did not see this question answered...

Is there any way to get the one time bill credit for the trade-in value of the phone paid out if you cancel within two months? I traded in my iPhone X 256gb, which was valued for $290 of bill credit and $410 of the rebate card. Do I have to stay on the plan to use up the $290 of bill credit or can I get it paid out if I cancel before it's used up?
whyyy would you do that?
Wow
The deal here is to buy a cheap iPhone 7, get the $700 big rebate.
Then, you could have sold your iPhone X for well over $300. Minimum $350-450.

I lost my costco receipt for the phones. Just called the 877 number and was told a re-print of the sales transaction from costco works too. Does anyone have similar experience on the previous rebates? She also said she would call me next Wednesday to go through the rebate process.

Does the cheapest Unlimited Talk and Text for $20 a month eligible for this promo? Costco rep chose this plan for me at his system.

for a reprint, they will give you a regular sheet of paper, which I do not think is valid.
I think I had to get a copy of the receipt because the idiot person that checks your receipt drew a big line over the transaction id.

Costco eventually accepted the original receipt.

I guess. What is the issue with your x?
I currently have the same phone, x w/ 256gb and ended up with an 11 pro 64gb unfortunately.

Anyway, the only issue for me was the screen recall that the X has. The screen sometimes would not respond.
