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.
You are talking CRAP.....stop telling untruths.

This is ABSOLUTELY wrong

ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

Typically how long it takes to get Trade In Credit? I sent my phones over 2 to 3 weeks back and still have not seen the credit. I am wondering how and who can follow-up?
On the same boat, my phone was delivered 2 weeks ago (11/18), still have not received bill credits.

No phones in NH MA area. Sucks
Costco rep said no costco on the entire east coast is getting any before the promo expires on 12/5. Apparently they have gotten none this week and no restocking orders as others have mentioned too.

You need to call T-Mobile asap, the reason why is they need you to manually approve the new trade in value.

I traded my phones as verizon/xfinity but the trade in department revised them as generic.

I called and chat with Tmobile but they will give monthly credit and not give one time credit.
Did they say they'll honor this deal at the t-mobile store? I'll take the bill credits since none of my local Costcos have any iphones in stock. That way at least I can have new phone in hand without having to wait for Costco to order it on my behalf.

Follow-up question: if Costcos are out of stock, will they still honor this promotion if they order it on my behalf? I understand I won't be getting the one-time credit and it will be via bill credits...

What are the chances of the deal returning for Christmas? Any pointers from last year?

it's possible.
Last year they had it November, December, etc..
Who knows what they will do this year. I didn't even think they would have brought this deal up since many of us canceled last year. But they brought it back although with certain plans only but they raised the limit to 4.

If I port in a number from AT&T for this deal, would I be able to get the Early Termination Fee from TMobile along with the Trade in Rebate?

I sent in my phone on 11/04, got a text message on 11/10 that $36 would be credit to my account.

Did you get the gift card on a current line or the new line? When do you plan on cancelling your line?
