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.

I have switched a line from Sprint to the SimpleChoice. I do not want to take chances and want to change my plan.

Does my line will still be considered eligible for the promotion ?

Just now I called two Costco near Rockaway, NJ and no stock of any iPhone 11 and XR for T-Mobile variant. Also there is no restock orders on the way and they are not aware about promo extension. I had iPhone 6S+ but missed to do it during weekend and I lost the boat now :-(

Hi all,
I am using the Simple choice plan with my brother is the owner.
Since the Simple choice is not eligible, I want to open a new plan and add another line to get two iPhones for me and my wife.
The question is:
  1. Can I open a new line since my current T-mobile number is in an existed Simple choice plan?
  2. For two lines, the Essential plan is 90 + taxes and fees while the Magenta is 130 a month (according to another comment from this thread).
    Is it correct? Does anyone know the price for two lines T-mobile plan at Costco?
Thank you,

The deal will work on the purple 64 gb? Can we buy the phone and then return it before 90 days and rebuy the 128 gb one? As long as we get the rebate before returning right.

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"
As per process rep should check trade in phone and enter IMEI details at the time of activation, in my case the rep was not aware, after two days when i did not get the label to ship back trade in phone, i went back and discovered we can add the IMEI details of trade in phone for that order at later state also and got the label.

I used it for about one month on Total Wireless because I need to add one month plan when purchased the phone.

But I don't think that matter for trade in.

That's what they are are telling everyone at my local store as well. I think they just want to get rid of all purples 😀. I bought two and rep mentioned that I can exchange color anytime in 30 days if it is in stock.

so if I change my plan or join another group with eligible plan my switched line from Sprint to TMo is eligible, right ?

Also do I need to change the shipping label etc ?
