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

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.
Much appreciated. I was also looking for exactly same info. Thank you.

You may need to go back to Costco and ask them to redo the trade in paper. iPhone 7 should have $50-$60 trade in value based on the answer the Costco rep fill in the questionnaire form like - phone is power on, no physical damage, etc. my guess is that the rep might missed one of the question and bring down the value to zero.
Also I have noticed the questionnaire switches for each trade in line. For example Question 1 may be Question 3 in the next line , or question 2 may be question 1 in the next trade in line. It keeps switching . I had a similar issue where the value of the phone showed Zero. The rep caught the mistake on the screen and told me that he is annoyed why the questions flips each time. In your case I am sure the rep would have answere something like water damage to yes or power on to No. go back and fix it

Why would you do that an mess up your rebate ? Do you even read the previous threads or wiki . The line needs to be open for the rebate and also by the time you get your rebate you will be automatically eligible to request an unlock. Just wait for 41 days

Did anyone check if the phone is unlocked by inserting a non-T-Mobile SIM card ?

I thought T-Mobile iPhones are unlocked !

Thanks for your feedback, I just checked it today and the status shows as approved, but I did not see any link to access the rebate. Does it mean that the rebate hasn't been issued yet? how long it will take to issue the rebate?
Just be patient, they will send it very soon, probably in a few days. When the status changed to "sent". You will see "Redeem Card". It took about 30 days from the day I sent the trade-in device.

It was the Verizon phones that used to come unlocked, but they changed it.

My trade-in tracking has not been updated in 3 days after the initial acceptance. The status constantly says in transit. This is apparently a sign of it getting lost. Any insights on what to do if the post office cannot find it?

Recent hook up code ? How did I get hookup code to work before the hook up code offer started?
