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

Hi,

Did you do the VC one at a time? Did you had the VC send to one phone, or 2 separate ones? I got all my VC last night as well. thank you
2 VCs received on separate lines and cashed out separately. One to checking and another to savings as it was throwing some error that routing number is incorrect.

All done using the phone. From T-mobile's website : Card will expire after the last day of the 6th month from its issue date.

I did on my laptop. You just need to validate the phone number to which the virtual card is sent.

So you used your main number to receive all the rebates and didn't encounter any issue? I'm very confused now. People said this would merge all rebates into one submission and cause denies.

All of mine are still in Received status...

Yes, i used the main number to receive rebates. So far, no issues for two. Waiting for two more. Will update once I get some info on the remaining two.

Another member on $580 thread received four rebates on the main number as well.

I used the main number to apply for four rebates back on 11/28. Three showed as pending and one as received. Called last week and they told me everything looked fine and just give it more time.

Last night I went to the rebate tracker and three of my submissions are now gone. Only one shows up still as received. Has anyone else seen this happen?

Hmm... I called their rebate center: 888-390-6867, using the automated phone system, I couldn't find a single rebate associated with any of my numbers (even with my main number). Although, I can see all of them being listed in my online account.

Something really got screwed up in their system.

My story: Purchased 4 phones from Costco late nov. Submitted rebates and trade in immediately (late Nov, early dec). On Dec 30th, I noticed the rebate got denied. Called Tmobile promotion team on 01/3, they did manual override. Within a day it got to approved and also got the text with the virtual prepaid. I got the entire $700 though I bought an iPhone 11 64gb.

An important note. If you doing the ACH transfer to your bank, it may give an invalid routing number. That's because one cannot apparently have the same account info associated with the four different Virtual prepaid accounts at the same time. So you could either use different accounts, or do it sequentially by removing the account once the ACH transfer is complete. Also, the name of the bank should be spelled correctly, otherwise, it will through the invalid routing number as well.

You don't need to wait until ACH transfer is complete. Start the transfer, delete the bank info, add the bank to the next card, rinse and repeat.

Others suggested to combine all virtual cards into a single one, then transfer.
