-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 purchased each iphone 11 at costco for $699.99 each
1st Bill period- Dec 5 to Dec 5 (120 for 2 lines)
2nd Bill period- Dec 6 to Jan 5. (120)
Is this right? Why my first bill is only for 1 day?

From what I've seen in the past is they seem to complete the rebate when you've hit the 2nd billing cycle date - so they have you for at least two full billing months since there's no proration when you drop a line. Maybe not always, but it does seem to be the usual.
That type of "sorting" for rebate finalization is certainly not going to align with the FIFO sorting people here seem to expect.
Or there's some other sort of non-FIFO sorting going on. We don't know, and we're not going to know.
In any event, whining and crying on Slickdeals accomplishes nothing but annoying the rest of the folks here.

If I convert both the lines to only voice and text, will this cause any issue to my other rebate ?
Thanks
I *expect* stuff to mess up.
My supposition could still be true and some submissions get f'd up in the process. Or my guess could be wrong and the sorting order is based on some other criteria (or not even exist). No way for us to ever really know, and thus not really worth wasting any energy worrying about.
After doing rebates for probably over three decades now, I've learned to just not worry about them until they go past the promised date - and then if they're late I'll work with the rebate company to sort out the issue.
I also personally believe that if a delayed rebate will cause a material hardship, then it's probably not a wise thing to pursue in the first place. Rebates always carry some degree of risk.

Now I don't feel so bad for missing out on an iPhone 11 128gb to 'maximize the rebate'
