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.

no, you don't have to port in any phone number. Are you maxed out on the number of lines allowed on your account?
No I don't have an T-Mobile account. So this is for existing customer only? I think port is Tulsa store's own requirement

The spouse stopped in this morning and no stock over the last few days. People were there to buy when they opened and she talked to one of them. They called this deal "The game"...

you can be new customer and port not required. I was. Did you ask them to open Tmobile accounts and mention this promo? At the kiosk I went to, they had copy of the promo. If they insist on port, show them the flyer which doesn't mention port requirement.

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.
How much is apple gc for 7?

I think it is $120.00 for a gc.

I may go ahead and buy four phones from Boost, in the event I actually can find iPhones at a Costco. Backup plan would be to trade in phones for Apple gc and sell it.

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!
what.. that was fast.. I have not received my credit till now even when mine was delivered on friday one day before you.

Cab that GC be used for purchasing a phone?
$120 for iPhone 7.


If you go to any apple store, you can trade in just ONE phone for any new phone. However, if you have four iPhone 7s, you need to trade in online, which provides you shipping labels. After a couple of weeks, you will get Apple gift cards through email. You can use them to buy whatever Apple sells.

Thanks for your quick reply. Talked to a Costco manager, seems a memo came out about people canceling. But not sure how a ported number prevent people from just porting out.

The girl at the kiosk did say this is unique to their store.
