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.

Is the pro model better than the iPhone 11? The screen size is smaller than iPhone 11 though the price is higher. Can anybody provide insight on this? Thanks.

use citi Costco.

tho I did get a new card where I spend $3k and get some airline miles which I need
Thanks. Seems like you have a better credit card. In the billing statement is Costco the seller or T-mobile. Also, will I be paying the full amount of the iphone11 today? Thanks again for your time and help.

I've been doing these costco deals for more than a year and they are getting more strict.

I believe they check usage on the lines now.

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

1403228 24 IPHONE 11 PRO MAX 64GB GREEN TMOBILE 999.99 3
Can you please tell the link of Costco chat? Thx!

So I opened a new line to get in on this offer. Can I use my current sim card on this new phone?
I've made calls and have usage on the account already.

I read in the wiki but I'm a little confused at what wording has changed. I don't see how they can control what sim card i use on the phone or not. The new line account will definitely be active as we'd be paying for service. I'm a little confused.

Does anyone have the new terms and conditions wording, "That supposedly changed". I'm not finding anything about this everywhere I look.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Guys, clear something up for me please. I have 3 unlocked iPhone 11 and XS on Sprint and want to move to T-Mobile. Went to COSTCO in Forest Hills, NY and they don't have any iPhone 11 in stock. Can I just get any 3 iPhones from COSTCO and move the SIMs to my existing phones and claim rebate and sell the COSTCO iPhones?

The COSTCO iPhone were paid full at the store so should be unlocked or at least not under financial obligation. The 3 lines would be active and used because that's 3 active lines ported from Sprint. Is there any reason I would have problem claiming rebates and sell the random COSTCO iPhones?

my concern is "unlock" & "rebate". Does it matter?

Thank you

Doesn't matter. As long as it's active, all should be fine.
