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.
If u want better bang for your buck, buy Iphone 11. If you have money to splurge then Pro. Extra rare camera and Oled screen is the main difference.

Can someone verify please, can this deal work WITHOUT the shipping label given to you from the rep at Costco? They claimed that you can printout the shipping label while doing the rebate online? Is this possible or not? Thank you

The rep should print all that out for you. Seems kind of shady.

With that being said, I did the last deal and added 4 lines. One label got destroyed and I had to call T-Mobile and they were able to email it to me.

Thanks for your suggestions. My store only had a 64GB iphone11 and 256GB iphone 11 pro so I preferred the pro model because of its memory space. I currently have an iPhone 7 Plus 126GB. Though the size of iPhone 11 pro is smaller than iPhone 7 Plus but the actual visible screen window is bigger than iPhone 7 Plus.

You have requested no more than two mobile device unlock codes per line of service in the last 12 months.

Edit: I am wrong, it is per line of service, NOT per account.
Mean s can I like 4 phones per line per account?

Bought 2 iphone 7. I called a local store on Saturday they were still doing the deal for 1 phone. $49.99 for phone + prepaid plan + activation + tax/fees. Go to a corporate boost store, don't go to a reseller. They make try to make you pay more for additional things.

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%
How to identify corporate boost store?
I called few today and all told me that there are no corporate stores for boost... Only dealer stores are there.

Thank you for the tip, I will try calling TMobile and see if they can send me another shipping label. Costco reps are absolutely useless. I argued with them for awhile and they still refused to give me a shipping label. I just tried the online rebate, and it didn't provide me any shipping label. The thing that's even more concerning to me is that nowhere during the onine rebate process it asked me what I'm actually trading in. So how would they even now the IMEIs of the phones that are being traded in??? Something is seriously screwed up...

yes online rebate filled and got the trade-in credit in my T-mobile account as well. The only thing left is the debit card, which I am not sure is via email or a physical card via USPS
They text you a link to view the digital card online

How to use the virtual express prepaid card? Is it equal to cash for online shopping?

larcielI'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.`
no reason why straighttalk iphones shouldn't work to trade in if they otherwise meet the requirements (e.g., not iCloud locked, no screen damage, etc.)
