-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.
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.
This is ABSOLUTELY wrong
ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

1 Assurant form called "How to get your account credit for your Device
Includes another page with shipping label showing one of the IMEI numbers for one of my 8 Plus phones I'm returning.
2 Blank T Mobile Costco 2019 Save on iPhones Promotion forms (Promo Code T01210
both forms have different Control Number in the upper right corner. Both forms are completely blank, with blank space for IMEI of device: and Phone Number:
My question is, do I need to go back to Costco and argue and try to receive another shipping label for my 2nd iPhone return, or can I do it simply with these 2 blank forms they gave me and filing online for the rebate? Any help is greatly appreciate, sorry if this has been answered before, attempted to read through the 200+ pages but it's difficult to read everything to get the info...
Experience in chicagoland:
- almost no stores had iphone 11 except north avenue and south loop. Both only had 64gb models, and south loop ran out soon after I got mine.
- restock occurs ~11-1 pm so call ahead to see if they have it
- I had simple choice but she couldn't change my plan to magenta at kiosk so she had me call Tmobile to change prior to going through the trade-in
- Trade in phone wasn't required in person, only IMEI
- After the deal, i asked about getting a free line for adding one and she said it was only for new customers
- Got "Accepted offer" of $29 for iphone 6s 16 GB as a bill credit, rest to be as a rebate. Total credit will be $500
- said I would need to fix the cracked screen prior to sending (I told her about it but didn't show her)
- whole ordeal took 2.5 hours since costco and tmobile phone reps were so busy!
questions:
- Am I correct that buy one line, get one line free is also for existing customers? Some ads say nothing, others say new customers only. If so, can I call t-mobile later and get that line added since never offered to me at the kiosk?
- if I have no need for another phone line, are there any costs to getting it just because? Can I use it for something else like a tablet (or other benefits i'm not seeing)?
also, for those going to costco, save yourself some headache by making sure you switch to a qualifying plan before going to costco. The kiosk rep can't do it and on the phone it takes forever, potentially wasting time while someone might clear the stock

carrier switch ($220) + iphone 11 on us ($700) + 3 for $140 Magenta plan?

Is there a way we can ask TMobile to send physical card instead of Virtual one ? While submitting rebate seems we can map virtual card only to new number, but can we map the virtual card to old number as well ?
