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

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.

Hi, Did you receive the rebate normal way or was it denied and you had to call in?

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
You can ACH transfer the funds to your bank account.

My rep told me the exact same thing except that the rebate would be issued same day. Would be nice if that is the case. Well, glad they are acknowledging the error on their end. They understand that we are not at fault as we followed instructions correctly.
It looks like I just got my virtual card for my last submission under the main contact number, which technically I had assigned to the first submission. The status of the other 3 submissions remain unchanged. Looks like the staff have to go in and make the changes. Have you guys received your rebate or has there been a status change? Thanks.

Had to call in to confirm and get the bill credit adjusted. For some reason it was quoted at $68 but they had to adjust it to $63.

For me the bill credits had been automatic. Still the rebate shows as received!! Not sure if I should call and ask or wait another day! Submitted on 12/1

If you have received the bill credits already, I would just keep watching out on the status. Nothing additional was needed from my end after receiving the bill credits - everything happened automatically afterwards.
