-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.
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.
This is ABSOLUTELY wrong
ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

Got a call back from the T-Mobile rep I had spoked with yesterday. She told me that they are aware of the issue and are slowly adding the missing IMIEs. But they have been advised that it may take them till the 30th to get everything added. We tried to enter mine again with her on the line and it gave the same error.
She promised a call back on 2nd of Dec. She was hopeful that by then it will go through online. She assured me that if the online process didn't work by then, they will give an email address to send the Costco receipt and complete the process manually. Basically tried to convince me that there is no need to worry/think about returning to Costco. One way or another they will get it sorted.
Up to individuals to decide whether they want to take the risk, but given it is a widespread issue, I am gonna wait till early December and see how it goes. Fingers crossed.

I am getting my phones today and going by what they said, if I have to wait for 24hours, I assume I am still good for rebate submission tomorrow even though this offer ends today.

We did not get it yet for previous 580 rebate offer so little worried what to do
The more the number of new customers TMobile acquires their stock price increases and less they pay for Sprint.
Also, after the merger TMobile need to compensate the unlimited cash flow from Sprint so you will see less limited deals.
And there is less need to acquire new customers and will book more profits.
So now I've added an extra line but no new phone ordered or EIP set up. I'm going to try again tomorrow but these kiosk reps are probably some of the rudest and most misinformed customer service reps I've ever encountered from any company. Props to those that jumped on this early and have successfully gotten their rebates from the previous $580 deal... I will be sharing this feedback with all parties involved (Costco, Wireless Advocates and T-Mobile).
