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

Be careful. That promotion ended on 11/20. If your purchase was made after that date, your rebate will be denied.

hmm having traded in a 6s-- where the code COSTCOAPPLENOV, only gets me up to $500 rebate, does it make sense to just use the code COSTCO2019APPLETRADE. will i get the $580? i would have wanted to do the $580 promo but i thought it had ended and then the $700 promo came out but then only realized its up to $500 for trading in a 6s.

Thanks to everyone here who updated this deal with all required points. I should have read imp
Comments before jumping.
I have a question about trade in iphone.

My trade in return label is generated with details of iphone 8 plus and i got new iphone 11pro with new line.
I have one old iphone 7 as well.
Now i wanna send iphone 7 at place of iphone 8plus as trade in. I called costco guy if he can regenerate return label with iphone 7 details but he said he cannot do. Asked me to contact TMobile for same. I had long call with two different Tmobile agents and both of them saying they cannot generate new return label but said Yes i can send iphone 7 with existing return label of iphone 8 plus as both phone are having same offer of $700. I will still get deal. They even added special notes in my Tmobile account about same.

Just looking for someone who had any such experience?

That promotion ended on 11/20 I believe. If your purchase date is after promotion end date, your rebate will be denied

I dont want to activate a new line

Rep told me today that starting tomorrow (11/27) they are having the following promo on the iPhone 11 that doesn't require adding a line:

For a limited time in all markets, save up to $400 off (via one-time trade-in credit and virtual rebate card) when you buy a new Apple iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, XR, XS, or XS Max on EIP and trade in a qualifying iPhone model.

With the promotion that starts tomorrow, the iphone 8 is eligible for $300.

New promotions start weekly Wednesday after 12pm.

I read through the forum multiple times but couldn't find the answer.
I'm already on T-Mobile plan and want to add new line. Can I trade-in my current iPhone and use that as esim in the new iPhone? One of the rep at Costco said it won't, but I'm not sure if he was telling the truth.

The Boost approach is a bust. The phone they sent can only be activated on Boost. It "has NOT reached its financial responsibility."

Did you happen to ship in a box with a battery warning ? That has happened before. But might be different in your case

Was told today I cannot add a line on my plan.
I have the "Tmo One All In Promo"
3 phone lines and 1 tablet line
Total bill is $130

They said I would need to change my plan to magenta at a cost of $150/month (+whatever line I add)


Anyone have experience with this and what I should do? I really don't want to change my plan

The biggest problem is finding out if your local Costco actually has the phone you want in stock. Calling and chat don't yield accurate results.

What does EIP stand for? Also does this mean, i can simply trade in my 6s plus and walk away with unlocked device ? Trying to understand the "doesnt require adding a line"

Looks like, the Twitter escalation worked regarding IMEI Issue but we'll know tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Here is the latest update from T-Mobile:


"... thank you so much for your patience while my team looked into this! Our team is working on implementing a fix overnight, and you should be able to submit for the rebate tomorrow. I will be in tomorrow at 11 am MST and would like to check in with you then to see if you were able to get things submitted with no issue... "
