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

Hey does anybody have a step-by-step guide for applying a rebate? When I try to apply the rebate from the link mentioned in the forum I asked to provide my login information which I do not have... do I have to sign up as a fresh T-Mobile customer since the temporary password which I got through SMS At the time of purchasing the device is not working

Hate to be that guy, but TMO/Assurant cannot help you with USPS error. They even stated in their T&C paper, just like all other rebate forms from many other companies.

You def need to get on with USPS to locate the packages ASAP.

I shipped mine coast to coast, and took only 3-4 days to reach TMO/Assurant for 4 phones
For regular rebate, customer is responsible for sending the form to the rebate center, whereas in this case, T-Mobile require us to ship using the prepaid label, shouldn't T-Mobile be responsible for the lost package?

Here is response on my thing when opened a case with USPS.

Lithium Batteries are HAZMAT and need to go ground service. This can take 2-3 weeks to arrive and won't have enroute scans. Please allow that amount of time to pass from mailing date before concern. If after that time has passed it doesn't arrive:

Please do the following to begin the search process. Once initiated the search process takes approximately 60 days to complete. Please accept our sincere apology for any inconvenience this may have caused.

First class mail does not automatically come with insurance. Since insurance wasn't added to the package, there is no insurance coverage. Please follow these steps:

1. Contact your phone carrier and get the serial number of your missing phone. Contact Assurant Solutions with that information. Sometimes the phones become separated from the packaging and any phone that Assurant Solutions finds loose in the mail is logged by serial number.
2. Go online to MissingMail.USPS.com and complete a missing mail form. When filling out the form include the serial number of your phone and a detailed description. Any phones that the Post Office finds loose go to a mail recovery center. Items of value are held at the Mail Recovery Center for 90 days.
3. If you suspect mail theft contact the OIG (Office of Inspector General) at 1-888-...

Unfortunately most rebate provider would not claim responsibility, it is too risky for them

I was pleasantly surprised that Assurant or Tmo actually provided shipping label with tracking.

When it comes to rebates, there is a risk involved, sorry to say that.

Such is why I ensure my mailman scanned all my packages, the least I can do

Good for you. Assuming it is David in York PA who was addressing my complain. I think mine is too late now and just little hopes on its delivery.

Please send me PM.
