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

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.
Got the same in eastern PA. None expected until the deal ends.

I am planning to just turn over the boost phones I will b receiving today without activating them on boost..any idea if that will be an issue?
That should be completely fine, the trade-in reqs are just no iCloud lock and no cracks / broken hardware. Nothing else matters.

Can I buy now and exchange later if there is no stock of the phone that I need?
I asked the same to the rep but was told it will mess up the rebate. So, I guess that perhaps no

Tmob promo is different compared to Costco promo..TMob is Bill credit over a period of time..

Finally got my phones yesterday. Some tips that helped me:

1. You can chat to costco support and they can do inventory checks in for like a 50mile radius, super easy. Better than calling and waiting on hold.

2. Went to get the phones but the wireless folks were busy as always. Was able to buy the phones at the pickup zone and they kept them until i was able to go back after work and spend the time to activate

3. You will receive a small instant credit to the account for the phone. No that is not all they give you, the difference is made up on the gift card when they send it, so the total is either 500 or 700 depending on traded in phone.

Good luck, have fun

"In order to take advantage of the above referenced rebate in the form of a one-time bill credit + a Mastercard Debit Card, you must walk out of Costco with a new phone. If the phone you want is NOT in stock, and you accept the Costco rep's offer to have a new phone shipped to you, you will received the 24 months of bill credits. If you purchase online through the Costco/Membership Wireless website, you will receive 24 months of bill credits."
Anyone know what's the trade-in(or bill creit) value for iphone 8 64gb, and iphone 7 32gb.

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.
Iphone 11 pro is a better phone overall, feels better too. but for me it's not worth the premium a 11 is a great phone too. I'd say that Pro is better phone and 11 is better deal.

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...
Ok, I tried using Tmobile chat again. Rep said they can do it as Costco but use EIP. They said I will still get one gift card even if use EIP. If i dont use EIP, trade in value (100 or so) will not be credited. I gave it a try anyway since I have no other choice. Lets hope it works out as planned.

Yes I am aware of it. We were talking about the COSTCOAPPLENOV promocode specifically, so I think he was looking at the correct promo.

With credit upto 700 and IP11 Pro discounted $100 bringing it down to 899. I will say 11 pro is better in this deal. It will hold more value in future too. but again it's personal preference.

Just received my your account has been credited for $59, what is this means? I thought we're getting upt to $700. I've purchased an IP11 for 640. will I get a prepaid card for $640 or 640-59=581?
NVM, I see that I have a bill credit of $59 so the Prepaid card would only be $581.
