-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

Boost has an in-store promotion [boostmobile.com] for BOGO iPhone 7. The phones should cost $50 + $50 plan + activation fee + tax = roughly $120-130. There have been known instances of Boost employees being shady and charging significantly more. Some people have suggested that you're more likely to get the true deal pricing if you go to a corporate Boost store.
1. Turn off Find My iphone?
2. Reset- Erase All Content and Settings
After Reset, the screen will show "Hello"...
Anyone here can confirm if the above is good to go?

I don't know if you will have to activate both the lines if you get two phones.

HOW about create a passcode? should i do it?
ANYONE HERE CAN CLARIFY AND CONFIRM?
That's what I did with the free XR deals earlier this year
* the one-time TMO credit is UP TO $700 OR the price of the new phone, whichever is less. Got it.
BUT...
* if the new phone is more than $700 but Assurant decides to only give me a TMO credit of say $400, then Costco will turn around and give me the difference on a debit card of $300?
* and what if Assurant decides that my trade-in is worth ZERO - is Costco going to then still give me a debit card for $700 (again, assuming I paid more than $700 for the new phone).
I've heard horror stories about Assurant making value decisions; there's apparently no appeal and you don't get your device back if you don't agree with their valuation. If Costco is offering me re-assurance with a guaranteed debit card up to $700, then that makes me a bit more comfortable about sending my trade-in in the mail and losing control of it.
Should I reset and erase all data from the new phone? Can I just keep the phone as it is? Since I didn't use at all, except test a few phone calls.

They will value your iPhone 7 for about $61. So let's say $60.
And let's say you buy the iPhone 11 64gb for $630. You will get $60 as a tmobile one time bill credit and $570 as a big virtual rebate card.

The rep created for me later on, by "faking up an upgrade request", which does not sound right to me (my main concern is how the labels generated this way can link to the promo).
