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 the iphone 11 from Costco paying the full amount $629+ tax, adding a line with t-mobile on my exsisting t-mobile one plan. I just noticed that I signed a form that says below:

T-MOBILE Equipment Installment Plan
I understand that I am signing an equipment installment plan loan to purchase this device. This agreement is with T-Mobile Financial LLC. After the 90-day Costco return period, I understand taht the agreement is in full force and that I am committed to paying the full amount of the agreement (loan).

I dont know what this agreement is. Did anyone signed a smiliar agreement. Thanks

Promotion site asks only for the new phone's imei and the return label has imei of the trade-in phone. How does tmobile know which trade-in phone is linked to which new phone?

I bought a XR trading in a 6s and a 11pro using a 7. The 500 from 6s should go towards the XR and the 700 from 7 sound go towards the 11pro. Would tmobile apply it the other way?
Yes Promotion site only have to submit 2 things
New Phone imei + Proof of purchase.
In Addition you need to send old phone to SHIPPING LABLE AND PRINTOUT (Old Phone imei) created at checkout.
In order to checkout you need to give old phone imei number and condition. You really don't need to show them old phone.
But they would need old phone imei to create Shipping Label.
This is my friend's experience.

do ignr typo.

In agreement it should say NON FINANCED PHONE. becoz you are paying full price of the phone.

Does anyone know when Costco inventory shipments come in? I checked with my warehouse shortly before they closed for the evening and they were sold out of phones. Is it even worth it to get there at opening the next day to try again? Or does new inventory come in the middle of the day?

Shipped my phone (iPhone 7, 32GB Sprint) on Wednesday after submitting the rebate online and got an email today from T-Mobile that a trade-in device credit of $59 was applied. Hopefully, the rebate will come through.. fingers crossed.

Did you have to cancel your current service on the trade in phone first?

I got two iphone 7 ($240 in total) from Boost Mobile today and the rep told me that even I pre-paid the $50 unlimited plan,
I shouldn't downgrade/cancel this plan until three months later, otherwise Boost Mobile will not honor this promotion.

My questions:
1. Is this a bluffing (maybe this would affect their commission?) since I never saw anyone mentioning this before?

Any thought?
My rep said I can downgrade anytime. Not honor the promotion? But you already paid for the phone it's yours. I'm planning to cancel before I trade it in

I was able to have T-Mobile create/email me the shipping labels. Outside of the trade-in phone, is there anything else (paperwork wise) that I should include in the box?

"If you have canceled voice lines in the past 90 days, reactivate them." I activated and canceled a line less within 12 days (grace period) less than 90 days ago. Does this still apply?

I think you have answered your own question here. If you cancel within 90 days, you will have to reactivate that line and open a new line for this deal.

I ported in my phone number from sprint so it automatically cancelled on my trade in device.
