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

Not 100% sure, but I think both locked to T-Mobile.

Call them today and all 3 of my phones were adjusted down by $5 each. Bill credit showed up shortly after
Can you please tell me how long after the call did the Bill Credit show up for you on the site?
I called them about 2 hours back and they mentioned that they will now offer $54 instead of $59 which I agreed to and the rep said that she has accepted the device trade in.
However even after 2 hours, neither do I see the status change nor any device credit on my TMobile account. It still shows up as 'Received'

Hello Gurus,

What is the process to take advantage of all the following offers :

1. $450 discount on trade in of each of 2 iPhone 6s phones at Costco (since phone is $70 cheaper at costco than at t mobile and also costco doesn't charge the $30 activation fee)
2. the every 4th line free offer,
3. The 20% off family and friends discount on the monthly bill
4. The corporate monthly service discount I get currently on my AT&T plan
5. The $220 off each new line

We currently have 2 lines on AT&T but intend to switch to T-Mobile and get the magenta or magenta plus plan to join our family member who has 2 lines on T-Mobile for a total of 4 lines.

Is there a way to get all the above offers to save maximum $$ on the phones and also the monthly line service charges- to maximize the savings?
Was waiting for the Black Friday iphone 11 promo to come back to get $500 credit for our IPhone 6s and 6s plus tradeins instead of the current $450 promo.

Thank you!

Better call them, if at least five business days have been passed since they received your phones. Today, I got the final credit for $54.

Received both "Device Recovery Credit-DIR" as $118 for 7 plus and $54(has to call as $59 was Costco estimate) for Iphone 7. Does this means they inspected & accepted the phone and will take upto 6 weeks for rebate card?
Where do we see if the credit has applied?

That's correct.
Are you sure... I thought they would inspect the phones later to give full rebate...

If they already inspected and credited fmv credit based on inspection then why would they take 6weeks to just issue a virtual card which can be a 5mins work and can be automatic process
