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

They get inventory almost daily. They may even have inventory on the loading dock that has not been processed yet.

NOBODY knows for sure.
I am in touch with Costco Peoria IL everyday and they are getting everything in inventory other than iPhone 11 T mobile. They haven't received any iPhone11 T mobile in last one week!

You can buy online with expedited shipping. Store guys know people are using this to trade in and hence making it more difficult.
Online total cost is coming cheaper than doing it in store..use CB sites..I know one is giving ten percent.
iphone7 for $49.99 offer is only instore offer..I don't think online order is possible.

Looking for a confirmation of Tmobile One (T-Mobile One Unlimited 55+) plan being eligible. Has anyone successfully added a line to this plan and received the rebate. Literature of the promotion says Tmobile One is ok. Anybody want to share their success/failure with this plan. I would like to confirm before I ship the trade in phone out and risk the $700 rebate. Thanks in advance.

It looks like the boost iPhone 7 bogo deal is over. Can't find anything on their website advertising the deal anymore. Any one else have any luck?

Yes it is 49.99 but add the plan cost , activation fees, porting need / cost and other forced things..in the end you end up paying more than online.

For some reason, Costco rep quoted $59.00 for trade-in value of my iPhone 7 which is in perfect condition. Should I call them and ask to have it adjusted or Assurance will help to adjust it accordingly ?
Thank you
That $59 is just the bill credit. The rest will come in the prepaid virtual card if, in fact, it's assessed to be in good condition.

Can someone please please clarify the "Accepted Offer Value" on the Merchandise Return Label sheet thing? Please
I do not have 0, but I do not have the full $700 either. For my iPhone X, the return label says $290, while for my iPhone 8 Plus, it says $190. Does that sound right, or should I go back and have them update it to $700? This last part is kind of confusing for me. I called up wireless advocates (888 369 5931) and didn't get a convincing answer there, she just read out the terms and asked me to go figure Frown
That's the one time credit for your trade in. The rest comes in the prepaid virtual card after they assess it in person and there are no issues. So they could say your iPhone 7 is $10 and you bought an iPhone XS for $799.99 then you will get $690 prepaid virtual card.

I've never had to use the phone before on other promotion but I've been hearing that they're now checking for usage. You should be able to use e-sim and have your other number on the same phone as well while you're waiting for the promotion to get approved.
So, if I break my phone or it gets stolen...they'll reject the trade-in?

Help! I bought a pre-owned iPhone 7 from Boost.com to trade in for this deal and it arrived this morning in great condition. I checked the IMEI on swappa and it came back clear, however I checked with Sprint (Ting.com checker) and it gives error "this phone can't be activated.""this device had not reached financial eligibility". I called Boost and they checked IMEI and said it's fine, no balance due. I made rep check with supervisor who also said "they guarantee it will activate". ??? Will the rep at Costco be able to tell me if there is money due on this phone? I really can't risk not getting the $700 rebate.
You may want to wait and recheck after 72hrs since it seems balance info is not immediately available for Ting..same situation here but I know there is balance as I am able to make and receive calls on boost

Does redoing the whole sign up process to try a different model/colour for submission void your chances for rebate for you when you try second time to buy and assign trade in? Curious cuz I had to redo this whole thing cuz I had all purpled and none of their IMEIs would go in. So they had to cancel my account and then return it on

Why does it matter? You'll get $59 bill credit and still get the rest on the mastercard.
I was also quoted $59 for my brand new iphone 7

The lower the trade-in value, the better. Get the rest in cold hard plastic (cash)
