-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

2. Went to get the phones but the wireless folks were busy as always. Was able to buy the phones at the pickup zone and they kept them until i was able to go back after work and spend the time to activate
Good luck, have fun
I mean come on!! Looks like either Costco doesn't want to get into this deal or T-Mobile is doing this on purpose to avoid taking a loss on their part.
Could not use two so I am thinking whether I give to apple for gc or sell those on craigslist or what else. Any suggestions

if you have multiple rebate cards to drain, you must remove your bank info after the transfer, your bank info cannot be on 2 different card accounts at the same time.
Remove which bank info? Both depositing bank and Rebate card (in that order?)
i just got new ones today from boost and used those..
so i am stuck with two iphones one 7 and one 6s
or
If you did not port boost numbers, then did you simply let those sit active and just removed sim card or did you cancelled lines of boost before sending those iphones?

If I opt for EIP, I will get the amount on monthly bill credits.
Anyone tried this?
I agree that it's not Costco's fault. I think the deal was obtainable in previous scenarios but people were hesitant about the rebate portion. As more and more people report success each time around, the resellers see the potential. Oh well. I can't be judgmental because if I didn't have a need for 4 phones/lines and still got in on it, I would've sold a couple to subsidize.
