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.

Guys what is the rebate status after the phone is delivered and the first part as credit is given?

Currently my status is "received" and phone credit is not yet received.

Yesterday I got 2 att prepaid numbers from eBay and when I went to boost mobile to get IPhone 7, they said that their system is not allowing the port in as it was activated today only( they called att customer care to confirm). Did anyone else also faced this issue? How can we get through this ?
Any other option? I thought of trying with google voice, But with google voice, what carrier name we need to tell them( they ask me the carrier name also).
Depends on dealer as they know now people r using ebay tricks to switch so they r just saying no this way to protect their business with genuine people who will stay longer with boost

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.)
Thanks. As per wiki and comments, yes technically it should work but wanted to see if anybody had first hand experience as it's phone is prepaid and locked to carrier . Mostly comments are regarding boost mobile.

Do you have any iPhone 6s or 7/8 to trade in?
New phones are with trade in.
The manager at COSTCO Wireless Center say I have 30 days to trade it in so I'll buy some old iPhones from eBay if I can get this deal to work

BUT - you have to give the phone details when you do this. Model, IMEI, etc. They can not process it at the store without that information.

Yes - you have up to 30 days to actually send in the old phone.

A quick question about the phone inspection part of things: I'm looking to trade in my wife's iPhone 7, but am remembering that at one point, she had dropped it in water. She did quickly retrieve it, dried it and it has always worked fine since. Will it still pass for the trade in? Do they check for that as part of the trade-in process?
iPhone 7 is waterproof for the most part

You have to TRADE IN phones to get this deal. If you trade in your exisiting phones, and sell your new ones, what phone will you be using?
I am going to buy 3 older iPhones from eBay for the trade in

I asked specifically if he needs the IMEI on the day I buy COSTCO iPhones and he say no, 30 days. I guess he is like some of the reps other mentioned: "do rebate online yourself"
