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

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?
It's probably because of the weekend. Mine was mailed on Monday and it showed no updates for 2 days. I guess yours would show something today.

I submitted the rebate online in T-mobile site on Nov 29th and it still shows the status as "Pending". I called up the CSR last friday Dec 6th and they asked me to re-submit the online rebate which I did and the newly submitted status is still showing as "Pending". Greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue. FYI, I have already shipped the trade-in device and it shows as Delivered in the USPS site. Thanks.

For the current promo trade in value increase to $700 for iPhone 8 and above. Also there is a promo buy iPhone 8 get $450 rebate when add a line and trade in iPhone 5 to 6s. Good way to trade in obsolete phones for iPhone 8 to use as trade in for other promos

Never Mind bill credits.

That iPhone 5 and se make the 8 deal a bit enticing. Now to find stores with the 8 in stock, doubt many have those

I don't think you can trade in an iPhone 8 which is still on payment plan, right?

Because he is committing fraud
No. I wanted to take pre-paid from the beginning. When I asked Costco representative, he said I can take only eligible postpaid plans and I can change it to whatever I want later. I may travel abroad so checking about the unlock phone option

request after 40 days
It was the Verizon phones that used to come unlocked, but they changed it.
I was trying using a cricket simcard, it did not work. so it seems that 40 days is required. I just wonder after 40 days, what shall I do to request unlock, calling them or sending request through portal. never experienced before.
