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

That's your personal choice. I personally have a family member that has simple choice and would not advise switching just for this deal. I think it's 9 lines at 170 after tax. Only 2.5gb of data per month which doesn't get used up.
Ask your family to check with T-Mobile . Most of simple choice plans were upgraded to free 4gb per month of data . Though it's not enough but still something more than 2.5gb

is it worth changing to magenta for this?
if you can do over 55+, military or the new first responder plan or have 4 lines (4th is free right now) it could be - if you have iphone 7 then probably will get most ever will for it (there could still be more deals in December)

first, go on t-mobile and input IMEI, it should then say YES, all good and in general if someone giving you hard time, say you have to go + get new person, cut your time loss

YES, you can trade in locked iPhone 7 and it gets you $700GC - value of phone - let's say $70 is "worth" you will get $70 credit on bill + $630GC

my 7 is locked to Metro PCS and did with TM over phone as costco did not have stock esp 128GB

if anyone can not find at costco and is ok w/bill credits - call TM, explain checkout not working, give code for extra $50 off phone; TCARTIPI0T (that's a zero not letter O, code does not seem to be tied to me but whatever) and ask for free 2 day ship

also, for those NOT on a T-Mobile owned co, like Metro PCS, you can get a $200 Visa GC, posted link in here it also required a code + specific number to call

plus b/c my initial rep took so long, kept talking on + on about her home + food and then added insurance i did not ask for but was charged for; TM promo dept is giving choice of ANY iPhone case + liquid screen (125sh + 50 + 30 waived fees = 205)


there for 2 years but fine with that

may try costco again for 2nd line but not a BF in person shopper and do not like crowded place (concerts ok!)

time for turkey, happy thanksgiving!
*For the code "TCARTIPI0T", both I's are capitalized "i" right? (not a lower case L)
*The benefit for the code above is only: an extra $50 off phone and free 2-day shipping?
*I asked the question above because it's also mentioned in your post that "TM promo dept is giving choice of ANY iPhone case + liquid screen (125sh + 50 + 30 waived fees = 205)". I was wondering if this case+screen promo is part of the "TCARTIPI0T" coupon benefit.

both capital I's, everything is UPPER case except for zero

the reason for free case + liquid screen was b/c initial rep added $15 insurance without my consent - if that happens to you (you will know as you will get email to sign docs) call promo dept but that is YMMV

1. say website giving you trouble then the $30 fee will be waived + b/c of this free 2 day shipping
2. the code in this post is for $50 off phone
3. also, there is a $200 gift card for non-TM, if on METRO as example one can not do GC but any other co can - must call the number linked (posted link in here)
4. remember, the $700 trade in direct w/TM is for monthly credits over 24 months unlike costco deal which is $700GC with no commitment
5. you should only be charged taxes on new phone, I paid $50 (in store they wanted me to pay more)

HTH

good luck!

Has anyone had any success (got rebate card) after trading in "Unactivated" (Not reported lost/stolen) iPhones in earlier promotions?

Hearing some rejection stories last year that even after receiving the one time bill credit for trade in device Assurant can deny after 90 days stating the device is not eligible.

When you trade it in, they specifically ask what its locked to and select it on the screen. So there must be other reasons why it was rejected other than being locked to Boost.

Got home with a 2nd iphone 11. Realized this time the rep didnt have me initial and sign the doc that has the $700 vs $500 models, the hand filled in IMEI and phone number. Will this be a problem?

This is the form titled "T-Mobile Costco 2019 Save on iPhone Promotion".

Already submitted online for the rebate and uploaded photos.

What do you mean by this?!

3. also, there is a $200 gift card for non-TM, if on METRO as example one can not do GC but any other co can - must call the number linked (posted link in here)

Is this stackable with the $700 rebate (the focus of the OP)? What link? Is timing important (got my iPhone 11 2 days ago). Thanks.
