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

I have received shipped label for my 3 phones but not for the 4th one. Rep told me to print in the t-mobile site. I did my best to get the shipping label from rep but he doesn't know the process the print. May be I need another trip to Costco and need good rep to get the shipping label. I don't see option to print the label in t-mobile website. Can we reprint the label in T-mobile website?

It was the resellers that are the shady ones. Buying stacks of 4 to send back to their country to sell.
I know one guy who bought 4 and he is not selling, but sending 2 to his country for his family.

Again not everyone buying 4 is a reseller.
Like we formed a group of multiple friends and each of us got 1 for personal use

Quote from soundinsoundout :
That's what I was afraid of...the reseller who set up the deal got the order stuck and called T-Mobile for assistance. The T-Mobile rep did the order so the Wireless Advocates guy didn't get the order nor commission.

I've spent hours chatting and talking with T-Mobile who got me through the promotion site and filling out for the rebate. However, they were a bit lost as to where and how I should send my trade-in.

It's a hot mess.

I'm hoping visiting Costco tomorrow can yield some kind of shipping label.
They can always generate a new trade in quote and shipping label. The rebate and trade in are two different steps , which can be done independent. Use your new phone number for each trade in. That is all they need apart from trade in IMEI etc.

No. Not through t mobile site. Earlier there was a option. Now they don't have. You have to go to Costco store.

A little over generalization, don't you think?

Not everyone who gets 4 is a reseller.

Not everyone who gets 4 and who looks different from you is from another country or is sending them to another country.

I think it's hit or miss

I traded in a gold and rose gold, neither were unlocked
I see from wiki that phones need not be unlocked. I am ordering one from Boost today for my trade in. Can I go ahead?

you know the deal expired right? the 7 no longer gets back up to 700.
The 7 gets up to $500 now.

But yes, you can buy one from boost and trade in. It does not need to be carrier unlocked.
