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.

I know it says it don't ask but I wanna see if anyone took the gamble and sent in an iPhone with a cracked home button? mine still works but I literally just found out the wife's home button is cracked after we snagged an iPhone yesterday.

if they reject the trade, would they send it back? or would they give some arbitrary amount that I'm stuck with?

debating to return the phone and cancel all together because of this. any feedback is appreciated.

Can anyone advise how to ship the trade-in phone? Do we need to include the original iPhone box?

If there are others like me that aren't near Costcos with phones in stock and that are also willing to take the 700 via bill credits, T-Mobile is now running essentially the same promotion (literally on their homepage). Only difference I can think of is that T-Mobile may charge for the activation of the new line but I've gotten that waived more than a few times.
Of course, I'm stuck in no man's land with an extra line and no new phone (see my previous post)... FML...

What to mail in with the phone? There is a page with top/middle/bottom slip. Top on for your record to keep, middle for inside the box and bottle to outside lable. Besides that middle slip + actual iphone, what else is include inside the box?

How about the page where you have to initial with the empty box of IMEI and phone number, the same page as the promo code "COSTCOAPPLENOV". thanks in advance

#20 For past deals, members have been able to switch their current number's SIM card into the new phone and still receive credit. The wording changed on the previous $580 deal earlier this month, so it may be YMMV, but should still be fine. To be safe, you may consider making some phone calls, sending some texts and using some data on the new phone with the new SIM before switching to your current number's SIM.

^^ has anyone had experience with this yet? Really looking to switch the device over to my number now.. and keeping the new active number on the secondary SIM

Woodlands and Humble have the 11 pro as well. According to Costco chat, 11 pro max though is not in stock anywhere in Texas.

Supposedly Business unlimited plan is eligible, so it can't be that all business plans are not eligible.
