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.

Good Question...No idea. 😀
You can either send it back to Boost mobile and pay a potential restocking fee or you could potentially just sell it to apple. Supposedly iphone 7 can trade up to $150 dollars:

I looked around my local Costco and there doesnt appear to be any stock. So I might be stuck with a locked iphone Frown

Will the rep check if it is iCloud locked atleast? does he do any kind of verification or just take Imei number and its our head ache?
The rep who helped me just went to the settings to get the IMEI. But that means that it wasn't iCloud locked or else he would not be able to access any info on the phone.

No, you don't have to activate phone through Boost, and this promo does not require the trade in iphone to be activated.

No, it does not come unlocked, but this promo does not require the trade in iphone to be unlocked - can be locked to any carrier.

Deal is Dead.
Your comment may be true for your area, but might not be true for Costcos in other areas of US. May be helpful if you (and others) were to post your city/area where Costco is out of stock to help other SL dealers. I got my phones on Wed., so don't know if my store still have stock.

It's kinda ridiculous that every Costco in my area is out of stock.. Are we just SOL on this deal if they have no stock, or has anyone found a workaround? Will they honor any sort of rain check or something? Kinda lame to have a deal you can't take advantage of because there's no phones to buy...

Deal is not dead. Stock varies by store. I'm buying an iPhone 11 128 GB right now (Carlsbad, CA).

WRONG

All inventory is in the back room. So, you can not "look around" to see.
Also, nobody knows what is coming in today.
Or what is still on loading dock.
Or what is coming tomorrow.

What do you mean you might be stuck with a locked phone?​

Do we need to use the phone or after activation we can just take out the sim and use it in another phone?

May be answered, Do we need to use the new phone until any particular time or after activation and making couple of calls the sim can be transferred to another phone and not use this new phone?

It's actually only $120 trade in value if you try the estimate tool, I don't know why it also says $150, but I don't really need Apple gift card (can they be used in iTunes?)
