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.

Heard somewhere that if we buy phone on EIP and then somehow close the account after getting the phone, we have to pay only full phone amount MINUS 700 rebate

For ex: 950-700=$250 only for iPhone 11 pro 64 gb

Is this possible ??

No Costco near me in stock. Wondering if they will restock on the last day? Or maybe extend the deal again?

700 is split into 24 months and credited into your account. So you cannot cancel your line for the next 2 years . So yes if you want to wait for 2 years then cancel the line , you pay only $250

I would definitely take it at this point. Sold out in my area for over a week. And now the Wireless kiosk people turned their phone off so u get a busy signal all day. It sucks because I don't want to resell, I need the phones to use. But this is the only way I can get affordable devices without committing to new lines that I don't need.

This locked iPhone 7 from Boost - does anyone have luck on unlocking them via eBay or R-SIM?

Asking this as a backup plan in case Costco doesn't get iPhone 11 stock.

The other good backup slickdealers have suggested is to trade it in directly with Apple for $120.

Other option: Use it as a 'Widescreen iPod with Touch controls' & 'a breakthrough internet communicator'

(I know it takes one year of service with Boost to get this unlocked officially, but that is too long a wait)

Where does the wiki say anything about scratches? I could not find it
Guess, it's what the rules don't say. My paperwork says, "Member must ensure the device powers up, works, does not have a broken or cracked screen and has NO water damage" So since scratches are not listed as disqualifying things, then scratches are ok, as long as the screen is not "broken or cracked"

Yeah and he said its global issue... anyone else facing this issue?

And somehow i feel even costco wireless reps are reading this thread also Smilie

If i don't get the iphone 11 then its not a big problem but only issue is that i bought a used iphone 7 today and i will be screwed to have that loss of money

Thanks for the details.
Representative at Costco told me that the Virtual Mastercard could not be used at Costco and could not be used to pay Costco Citi card.....Does anyone know if this is true?

Thanks in advance

it's true.
When they were offering the physical rebate card, I tried to double dip by using the card to buy another iPhone XR and it would not accept it.
