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.
You are talking CRAP.....stop telling untruths.

This is ABSOLUTELY wrong

ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

Can I trade in a phone for the $650 and use the credit to get an Apple Watch and activate a new line for it existing Tmobile account?

no, you can't.

First, promo is for buying iPhones XR,XS,11, 11pro, 11max.
Second, the kiosk probably doesn't sell Apple Watch, just phones.
Third, you don't get credit right then and right there, such that you could use to buy the credit to buy anything. You have to buy first with your own money. Then mail in your trade in phones and wait up to 8 weeks for the gift cards.

And all this info is in the wiki, which isn't that long to read....

They keep reducing. 6s makes more sense to trade in than 7, for the trade in value.

lol they are sold out.
I went and 3 customers ahead of me with stacks of 4 were purchasing
resellers
Sorry to hear. I went to Clifton yesterday and they didn't have any - so you are right they got that big stock of phones today that the resellers picked up right away. Did they say if they were going to be getting more tomorrow/soon ?

Thank you for the update. If this had been a discounted price up front, I think the price protection benefit offered by some credit cards would have helped get the $50 back- but since the promo is in the form of a gift card after the purchase and not a discounted price up front, we are out of luck..unless they bring the earlier(better) promo back later ..

If the change goes down to 500 for the iphone 7. I am not sure if it makes sense to try to get an iPhone 11 with an iPhone 7 trade in (assuming you buy from boost). You can likely get better deals elsewhere. It might not even make sense to try to go for the Xr? That would likely still cost $200 dollars on top of the used iphone 7 price.

Called Costco today and they had phones in stock, but could not go today. That's bad news.
Another store near my work had no phones in stock from last many days, which seemed strange. These guys did some shady stuff I feel, maybe by holding some for their relatives and friends for reselling.

I purchased the iPhone on Dec 3 but haven't shipped my trade-in iphone7 yet. I still qualify for the $700-$54 MasterCard? Thanks.
