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

Same. Tforce says it is still pending.

Edit: the reason T-Force said it was pending is that when I called in to accept the lower trade in value, the rep noted on the account that "rebate is in process". It WAS of course pending at the time. Now it says "denied".

The T-Force rep went on and called promotion hotline for me. They ended up submitting a new rebate form. The rebate form was approved in about 20 mins. But the status went back to "received" after an hour. T-force rep said it's going to take about 2 weeks. I am going to give them 2 weeks. If it's not processed by then, I will file a BBB complaint.

Did you ever get a credit of $54 shown in your T-mobile account and the online status showed "Received" on the promotion check website?

Mine is exactly the way you listed... waiting for rebate.. not sure if I should call and get the credit adjusted back to 59(as assessed by the Costco rep) instead of the 54 credited by T-Mobile...
I have traded in i7 purchased from boost...

Apparently this is happening because for those who traded in a boost phone (and it is determined to be a sprint phone) Having the price adjusted down from $59 to $54 causes it to be flagged for denial. You will need to call and have them manually override.
When you say call them? Call who exactly? And on which Num?

Same here.. Original Rebate --> Denied, Re-submitted by CSR New Rebate --> Approved at the time (took a screen shot) --> Went back to Received status later

Let's see what comes next! Fingers crossed..

They told me it may take another 6 weeks for the full processing and send the rebate card.

How many days after submission did you get a denied notice? Did you receive an email?

I can't believe you didn't give them a piece of your mind when they said 6 weeks.

How long was the delay by USPS? I have a bad feeling one of mine was lost by them but it hasn't technically been 2 weeks.
