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 bought 4, but decided to keep three as fourth will be an Android phone. Can I just take the SIM out and sell the extra phone, while keeping the line active on android phone?

The rewards tracker website says Promotion Date Range 11/20-12/4 and submission date 12/5. I know the promo was till 12/5 but why does it say 12/4 on the status website? So confused. Status is still pending and the standard allow 6-8 weeks note
For me, it says for COSTCOAPPLENOV:

Transfer to your bank directly from the rebate card website. There is no fee to do this.

Log in to the rebate card webpage and click the 'Access $' tab, then transfer. The 'transfer' button is also on the 'Dashboard' tab.
You can only have your bank info attached to 1 rebate card at any same time. So, once you initiate your bank transfer, remove your bank info.
Now log on to the next rebate card and repeat the process until you have all your cards drained.

I did this for all 4 of my rebate cards. I already have the funds in my bank account now.
Great Info. Instead of using these rebate cards, I can use my credit cards to purchase stuff, then capture 2% cash rewards, which amounts to $50 in my case.

Thank you very much for the excellent suggestion. I was wondering how to encash them like buying simon mall visa gift cards and then getting walmart DD. You simplified it super easy

When I placed my bank transfer order, it told me 2-3 days, but the details of the action said 6 days.

The transfer only took 3 days to deposit.

Yeah what's super weird is that it's the same promotion number but the date range is a day earlier for both the start and end

Btw mr Chaoss.. One actual question:
Do you know if i can give iphone to apple for apple gift card even if iphone is not fully paid off or active on somebody account?
If you remember i told ya that i have been scammed by somebody locally and i dont have any idea how to make sure if its paid off or not..because when i goto att unlock portal then it says its active on another account.
Tia.
