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

did they say anything about carrying a 256 pro? previously they said all costco's store only 64gb but i am seeing people in here saying they purchased the bigger one.
i was able to get a 256 by first calling costco to check inventory in a 40 mile radius and then dragging my ass to the furthest one (Richmond, CA) because they were the only ones in the whole area with like 5 available.

From the Wiki

"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"

Based on how I am reading this, I can immediatly port over my current Verizon phone # (though I have to visit a T mobile store to do so). Can I also at the same time, have them remove my SIM card and swap into the new Iphone purchase from Costco so that my contacts/pictures etc transfer over?

Guys,

What are the options for Unlocking if we opened Four lines for availiing this offer? Technically we can request unlocking for only two lines after two full billing cycles

Tmobile contract document very clearly stating "Not more than two unlocking requests in 12 Months"

Per my understanding: This applies if you get the plan. If you buy pre-owned ones, this doesn't apply.
Even if one were on a boost mobile plan, wouldn't one have already met "all ... financial and contractual obligations" by paying for a full month worth of that plan? (Assuming that plan is cancellable at any time)

You have requested no more than two mobile device unlock codes per line of service in the last 12 months. Its per line i think if u have 4 lines u can request 8 phones to be unlocked
