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 am being told by Costco and Tmobile that this $700 rebate is only available for 64Gig iphones and that for any other phones you will not get the rebate.

I too saw same thing in NJ. People were snagging the popular colors for re-selling and 1 person almost bought 10 in 3 different names. Due to that I could not get any in stock. I was planning to go today but if no stock, what's the point.
Wow. Mind sharing which location that was at? I'm in NNJ

The issue is finding stock. All iPhone 11/pro models are available

Need help.. I got 2 lines on unlimited 55+ plan last month in which I cannot add more than 2 lines. At that time I did two iPhones rebates. Now I want to add two more lines to get this offer, so I have to change the plan. Do you think changing plan will affect my previous rebates or these rebates?

Possibly. Since you haven't gotten the big rebate yet. But I am not 100% sure

I ordered an iPhone 7 from eBay to trade in.

Do we need to have the trade in phone handy in costo to get this deal or Do I need to wait until I receive my phone.

Question: If I buy two lines today and then a third line later in the week (due to stock) will the rebate get messed up? Do all three have to be on the same receipt?

Good luck with that. Those reps are shady. Probably will give you store credit if anything

Can anyone clear something up. I have read the Wiki several times and it does not clarify.

When porting in from another carrier (Verizon), will I have my existing phone # and a new number from T Mobile Is that correct? I understand the wiki says it supports dual sim "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

Do you have to "go back into a T Mobile" store because the porting doesn't happen instantaneously? I just need to be 100% confident I can retain my existing VZ phone # for the 40/41 days it takes to receive the gift card. Then I will simply cancel and port back to VZ

Do I have this correct?

You need to wait.. they need imei number of the phone you trade in. They usually ask to see the trade in phone.

If you change your plan to one that qualifies for both the previous rebate and this rebate, you would still qualify for the deal.
