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

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.
Don't trust the chat reps

Not possible other than active on Boost. Work around- If you have Sprint free plan, you can use this mobile by adding new line with existing account and need to pay only tax which is~$5 per month.

Just now called T-Mobile Rep at Costco and he asked me to check it tomorrow whether is it extended or not. I am sure no more extension since no restock orders in any Costco.

what are you guys doing with Boost phones...returning them ? I am not sure how does that trade in work with Apple unless ending up buying something else from Apple..please advise
You can get Apple gift card, if you trade in online. Use those gift cards to purchase anything else. For instance, you can trade in two iphone 7s.

Went to Costco and got my four lines and four new iphone 11 (128gb) on Tuesday (11/26) last week. Mailed in four Boost iphone 7 (that I bought pre-owned at the Boost website) on Wed. (11/27).

Shipping info show 3 of my 4 iphone7 arrived at the tmobile promo location on Sat. (11/30). Got emails today saying received three $59 credits to my account.

A little worried about the last iphone 7 box. That one still hasn't been delivered!

no, you don't have to port in any phone number. Are you maxed out on the number of lines allowed on your account?
