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 got in on the deal yesterday. But they only had iPhone pro 64GB available. My current iPhone 7 is 256GB and is over the 64GB storage already. So I would really need to cut items to get under 64. I have not opened the new phone or sent off any of the rebate info.

I really need a 256GB iPhone pro. I am going to call around to all the costco's today and see if one is instore.

Do you think I can just do a swap for the upgrade? Will it mess up my rebate?

Any advice would be appreciated?

Thanks
You will have a hard time finding another size for the pro unfortunately.

I am in the same ship bro, but for I got a pro 256, actually wanted pro max. I kept calling 6 Costco's in my city every day morning to see if they have in but no luck and pretty sure they will not have it before the offer dies this Monday

Rebate submission finally worked for me today. Was debating on returning it, glad I didn't! Black iphone 11 128gb, took exactly one week since purchase before I could submit, in case anyone is curious.

Thanks everyone for the lively thread, hope it breaks 3k! Big Grin

I have a phone with good condition (no crack and water damage), but locked on ATT. It seems not blacklisted but have balance with ATT. Can I still use this phone for trade in?

Thank you in advance

Pros, please take a min and reply if you know .

I switched to T-Mobile and got a 11 pro 2 days back at Costco. I really wanted a pro max but I didn't want to end up having nothing so too the pro for now. I have 2 options now, not sure which one is great and works

Option1: submit the rebate on the pro and get the credit/debit card(thinking it should be done in 30-45 days) and then exchange it for pro max ( I hope they will have some in stock by then)

Option2: do not submit rebate and try to exchange for max in next 2 weeks and submit the rebate on the new phone.

Thanks in advance

Definitely Option 1. You don't want to risk screwing up the rebate with a receipt that would be outside the window. When they process the rebate receipt it needs to show the correct date for the promo period and the correct phone being purchased.

I would kill for that 256. haha. Since they extended the deal through monday, they have to be delivering units through out the rest of the weekend (i hope). I will keep calling.

Do you think they would do a swap upgrade?

Or do I have to return and cancel my first order and do it all again from scratch to get the rebate?
