-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.
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.
This is ABSOLUTELY wrong
ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

I have 2 issues here where I called in to the promo dept to get it's fixed. One of my trade in value was $5 lower than the actual rebate. The other issue was the phone number on the rebate didn't match with the purchase phone. Since I have 4 lines and I asked to get all the rebate status notification in 1 line. The rep said that this mess up their system and they have to manual overwrite them. Hope this help with someone who got denied status.
Thanks for sharing.
Did you see the same error as "Ineligible trade-in found" when it was denied?
What was your denial reason? Mine says "Ineligible trade-in found"
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.

I've been tracking my rebate online and it has been in the "Received" status for weeks. Curiously, this morning the submission date changed from 12/2 to 12/1. Not sure what that means. I'm anxious for the rebate, but I'll wait a few more days until I reach out to them.

I submitted it on 12/2 and got rebate last night.
That's sad and It's a shame for them. Have you ever (after sending the phone) got the one time bill credit for the device? At least manually adjusted thru chat or phone by the CSR? In that case I heard they can manually override the rebate and get it approved.
I would personally don't take the bill credit, it's not worth being with them for 2 years.
