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

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.
My package was in transit for close to a week before it got delivered.

Mine show denied for all 4 phones today.
Have you called the rebate line? Earlier, you said you had to send them a duplicate copy of your costco receipt.

I submitted on the 21st of November. Received mine on the 24th.

Edit: I actually submitted on the 27th and got all 4 virtual cards on the 24th.
do you have any text markings on your online account for the virtual card? I also submitted on 27th, hasn't got the virtual card yet.

$630 for iPhone 11... there is no phone which costs exactly $541 if you are trying to guess that phone price was lower than 580...

My friend on the same account, bought same phone and traded in same phone... for his rebate we got $551 (+$29 one time bill credit) so total was $580 as expected...

Not sure who ate my money...

Yea I was guessing that and I was wrong. This looks like one for the rebate team at T-Mobile.

What was the reason?
She said costco marked my phones as att, but they are actually directly from apple. I bought them as unlocked maybe that's why they show as apple phones

Yes I sent the duplicate receipt from Costco that has costco stamp and manager signature. They were ok with it. I chatted with tmobile customer service, she helped resubmitting new rebates and they were showing Approved initially but now showing as Received again. I was told to wait up to 30 days to get gift card.

It won't take that long. Mine took two days. YMMV

What I have gathered from the last few pages is that if shows denied as of today, it will send the rebate the next day.
I called the T-Mobile Promotions hotline and they also said if it shows denied, it may mean that the system is in the process of sending the rebate.

I hope it is true. I will edit If I get my rebate today or tomorrow.

I am getting the denied status now too, previously it was "Received". Following is the message I am now getting "Your submission has been denied. Here's why: Ineligible trade-in found". I will wait for 2 days and see if I get my rebate card. Otherwise, I will call tmobile..
