-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

On a side note, does anyone here have more insight as to when we can cancel without the possibility of getting blacklisted from these kinds of promotions from Costco/Wireless Advocates? I've heard that it would be safe to cancel after 6 months so the wireless rep can get their commission. I had a hard time with my first Costco getting the 11 and I'm thinking it was because I did the free iPhone XR with trade in last year, and cancelled the extra line about 2 months after I got the card. I've heard of others getting refused/blacklisted/banned from Wireless Advocates from taking advantage of too many these promos and then cancelling immediately after receiving the rebate. I know I can cancel the additional line I added for this promo now, but I don't want to jeopardize my ability to get future promos like this.
all depends on the rep that you get.
There have been experiences in these iPhone 11 and iPhone XR threads that a few amount of people have been refused by wireless advocates. Some of those reps even went as far to speaking with higher management who then banned them from Costco.
Personally, I will keep my lines open for the full 6 months. It's only $20 - $25 per month per line but at least it is somewhat of a guarantee that I can do future promotions.
Don't forget, the rep can scan your card and see EVERY single transaction that you have done at ANY costco wireless kiosk. Back in the XR deal, I had one VERY rude rep. Scanned my card and all of my transactions popped up, details of the phone I purchased and date.
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).
All depends on the reps that you get from boost.
Some skip that part, but many do it since they know people are not staying with boost mobile.
some have mentioned that some phones say there is a past balance but it does not show up that was on Boost mobile's end.
no one has really mentioned if they got their card despite that 'message'

Nothing around Northern NJ as well.
All the damn resellers buying stacks of 4 and shipping them out to their country leaves the people who actually want to use the phone with no luck

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