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

Got my rebate transferred. Hit the 40 on Friday and requested an unlock. The email arrived 2 days ago and took 48 hours to kick in. Confirmed the unlocked worked and cancelled this morning before the 2nd bill cycle. This was a smokkkkkkkking deal. Thanks for posting it.
I have requested for unlock by giving one IMEI.
How about unlocking the 2nd IMEI2? (e-sim)
Any one knows if it will unlock both?

Did any1 received the master card ? Who got approved yesterday.
Got it on the third.

Immediately went online and transferred the balance to my checking account.

Once that landed via ACH transfer, I ported the extra unneeded line out to NumberBarn, which occurred today, cancelling the extra line. Made the change online to drop back to Magenta 55 plan from normal Magenta I had to switch to in order to add the third line for the promo. Also went back onto numberbarn and cancelled the line.

Yes 11 pro eligible. I got two rebates for 11 pro. Pending are another 11 pro, and 11.
given that, there should be no problem for me to exchange my iphone 11 for a iphone 11 pro 256gb and pay the difference right?

why didn't you just ask tmobile to cancel that unneeded line? what's the difference here?

2 of my rebates showed approved yesterday afternoon. this morning they both changed to received. then now they are both showing denied "payout already issued to this phone number"
Similar for me. Two out of four show as approved today. Other two show as "payout already issued to this phone number".

Did you call in to rebate line and did you get anywhere with them?

This is crazy.
I purchased an 11 pro and an 11 on 11/22.
Submitted rebate 11/27.
Got the bill credit for both lines on 12/5.

I just asked my brother if he did the deal and he purchased an 11 pro on 12/5, but he said he submitted the rebate on 12/9.
Bill credit on 12/15.

NO texts on any of the three lines yet for the big rebates.

He purchased on my tmobile account at a different state/costco.

I just called in again today. The rep manually resubmitted the 2 denied rebates again. The previous rep who manually submitted for me last week used the wrong numbers. You can help them out by knowing which of your lines corresponds to each submitted rebate
