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.

Hopped on this while in vacation in Hawaii for my wife and I. Wife wanted to upgrade. We checked our usage and we don't go over 64gb on our phones. Did the last costco promo in March.

Ebay at&t port in number
$7

boost purchase came out to:
$266.89
————-
$99.99 - 2 iphone 7 ($399.99-$350 for one w/ port in, $399-$100 national promo- $250 Bogo promo)
$27 - Activation 1st phone
$17 - activation 2nd phone
$80 - boost prepaid plan for 2 lines
$3 - Bfee
$39.91 - hawaii tax 4.71%

Costco cost
$2092.22 for the phones
——————
$999.99 x 2 iphone 11 pro max 64gb
94.22 tax

T-mobile cost
$70 - 2 lines senior magenta plan w/ autopay discount


Total cost

+7
+266.89
+2092.22
+70
——-
2366.11
-1400
———-
966.11
- 900 (sell our iphone XRs 128gb and 256gb)
———-
66.11 end cost after tax for 2 new iphone 11 pro max 64gb

The Costco wireless advocate rep there was working 3 customers at a time. Said would email the shipping labels over. Been calling him over 4 days and said he'll do it. No longer in Hawaii now. If he doesn't follow through may just have to return them.

Called three costcos in the bay area: Mountain View, NE San Jose, Senter San Jose. No stock.
That is nice.
But - do you know if they got any in right AFTER you called? Or if there are some on the loading dock not check in yet?

SPOILER - Nobody knows.

The promotion says it ended on 11//20? Looks like a typo . I guess it's extended till 12/20 considering the demand for the phones . But the picture says 11/20
Why would you say it is extended to 12/20 - when I am guessing you do not know.

As to the reason being demand - maybe, maybe not. they do this because they want new lines of service. Nothing more​

My wife did this deal to get new phones for herself and her mom. When they got back from the store, she gave me her mom's new SIM because her mom wanted to keep her old number. Will this cause problems in that her new iphone was never activated/used with the new SIM? Both the device and SIM are on the network now, but not together.

Chatted yesterday morning, ALMADEN had iPhone 11 green 64gb, but this morning everyone is out except NE SJ iPhone 11 pro space grey 256gb. That one must have been just sold within the last few hours
Inventory says 2 Pros at NE San Jose. However, when I called the wireless department, they say "None".

Yeah, I actually asked my wife to go and she was there soon after Costco opened. Not sure when they got it in stock, but they only had one. It was sometime between 10 am yesterday and opening today.

Checked at many locations they all said the same, they didnot receive any stock from yesterday. Have purchased three phones to trade in and stuck.
To avoid a trip over to a warehouse. Try chatting with the costco chat online. They have check the inventory system what is in stock but keep in mine someone could grab them by the time you get to the store. Then call they location and be nice to the rep to hold it for you and when you will be there. Last week I did this before going in to buy. Give them the location, carrier, phone models you need and they will provide something like below.

Nathan A.: Hawaii Kai will be

1383223 24 IPHONE 11 PRO 64GB SPCGRY TMOBILE 899.99 1

1401660 24 IPHONE 11 64GB PURPLE TMOBILE 629.99 6
