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

Received = they have received your phones.
Next, they have to check your phones to issue device trade in credit. You need to specifically ask for "device trade in credit"
Thats wrong.. "Received" means they have received your rebate submission and hve verified the imei and receipt for the device purchase... this changes from pending to received once verified which happens without u shipping the trade in phone....

Once they receive ur phone it still stays "received" but u get the one time fmv credit which confirms they received the phones

Yeh I have the same issue. Dropped off 7 days ago at USPS office (not counter). It still shows "label Created, not yet in system." Talked to USPS counter today, nothing they can do, except wait.
Similar boat, Tmobile didn't get the device and not able to track.

Same thing here, "Label Created, not yet in system". 2/4 phones delivered, other 2 not even in the system. Weird cause the 4th phone (delivered) was sent 3 days after the 1st (which is not in the system).

so what are our options, called Tmobile and they don't have a clue on where the phone is. It means the processing unit didn't process it or not delivered.

I didn't took a receipt as there was a small line in post office. Should have started tracking the same day. Now its two weeks and could mess up 700 + trade in value.

I submitted a missing package request with the post office, let's see what happens. Worst case I guess I return the phones to Costco and have to eat the loss Frown

I guess I will do the same to submit a missing package request, since it is 10 days now since I dropped off the package - still not in the usps system.

Submitted online now, called promotions and they don't process promotions without the device delivered to them.

Promotions can't help to change IEMI and send another one.

Mine should be received by 26 for them.

If you had the shipping paper/label from kiosk print out, the top part is the tracking label

I have the tracking, its the issue where we can't track at USPS. I see some other also had the same issue. My mistake is that I didn't took the receipt and left at a box inside the post office after confirming with them as its prepaid.

I have sent 4 phone 7 on 12/4 and phones were delivered on 12/7. Got the credit $54 each non 2 iPhone 7 on 12/11 but had to call customer care to approve another 2 as their trade in credit has gone down from
59 to 54. Once they approved it, it took few hours to show in my account. No message or email on the request they approve over the phone.

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!
What is $220 off each line, can you pls share some details. TIA..

I got a receipt from USPS with my tracking number when I dropped off my trade in phone. I googled that tracking number and it gave me the "label created" stuff...but if you actually go to USPS's website and punch in the tracking number, it showed mine was delivered almost a week ago. USPS website > Google. Search on USPS's site instead?
