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

do you get the same credit as estimated? my iphone 7 got estimated $59 credit, but my account got $54 credit instead. do I need to call in or just wait?
Nothing else needed - they will probably just credit extra $5 on the MasterCard

I received my rebate card yesterday night.

Rebate submitted online 12/1, traded-in a Boost IP7, received $59 trade in credit (called customer service 4 days after the trade in was delivered and the credit was applied a day after).

Was expecting a $620 rebate (I paid $679 for the phone) - however the rebate card had $641. It appears they are giving the full $700. Had put in a ACH request to transfer the funds to the bank account. Waiting for the funds to show up in the bank account.

Good luck everyone waiting for your rebate.

crazy how these rebates are going through.
You'd think it would be in the order which they were submitted.
I purchased on the 22nd of November.
Kept getting the error of the imei's like most of us on here had.
Finally submitted on the 27th after that error was resolved and they received my device the following week due to thanksgiving.
12/5 I get a text that a device credit of $68 was applied to my account. Still waiting on the big rebate.

On the same boat as well. Submitted rebate on 11/27, mailed phones on 11/29, phones received 12/2, received $59 credit on one but no virtual card yet. Had to contact them about another phone for credit adjustment and received $54 credit right away, but it showed denied a few days ago. Waited until today to Call them about the denied one. They created a new rebate that now shows received. Not sure how long it will take for me to receive virtual cards on both.
