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

Looks like someone made a mistake in your case. We also received $512, but we have traded Iphone 7 which was $68. Someone considered your rebate as iphone 7 instead of Iphone 6s. You can call and ask for remaining money.
Thanks for message.. i already got the remaining amount credited today..

But how did u get $68 for iPhone 7.. its $54 for 7.. or perhaps u meant 7plus

I have already received credit for both phones. (One was accepted at a lower value with Customer Service about 3 weeks back).

Should I call promotions helpline, as it is over 30 days?

Also, all who have received their rebates, could you please let us know whether you have paid your first bill before rebate was processed?

I have opened an account with 1 line (Costco $580 rebate) and have received rebate for the same. Other 2 lines were added under $700 offer after 8 days. First bill for those 2 lines came recently and is due on Jan 12 (AutoPay).

Do you think paying of first bill makes any difference here?

What's the best way to flip the card?

Venmo's 3% fee isn't bad but is there a cheaper way? Otherwise I could spend it over 6 months on bills

I also got denied on my 2 rebates today. So you didn't have to call T-Mobile to fix the issue, it should be fixed by itself in a day or 2, right? If not, then call the rebates department.

Ok, thanks. But customer care just told you to wait or they did something on their end to get it approved after you talked to them?
