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

Does it cost to port out?
Numberbarn charges about $7.50 for each line in total. T-Mo does not charge anything to port out. Sorry if I have confused you.

Do you really need to keep those number? If so, go to google voice. No, contact T-Force on facebook/twitter and cancel the line will not cost anything.

I got the same thing on a 11/27 submission. It's a good surprise for me, I was expecting this drags into Feb. Now, let's see if we get it tomorrow.

I submitted on 12/5 and was Denied on 1/4 with 'Ineligible device error'. I called Promotions team and they re-submitted the rebate. Initially it was showing Status as Approved and then changed to Received. But today it got Denied again. Not sure what's happening. Anybody else in same situation?

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?
Even though you think so, costco/wireless advocates reps don't allow that, unless you make a big fuss with the costco management, who will look into your prior history, etc.

Just use t-force (facebook/twitter), and get ready with IMEI numbers of the devices, etc. YOu can just cut and paste in the chat, instead of phone calls.
