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

so you can delete it even if it says: "...this will cancel future withdrawals"?
Once you submit you are good. Just look at several posts above.

Are people canceling their lines as soon as they initiate the bank transfer (or otherwise liquidating the card), or did you wait until the funds hit your account? Asking because I just did the transfer and am on the last day of my billing cycle so figured I would cancel today and save another month of paying for the lines if it was safe.

If this $700 rebate promo comes back, could I buy another phone? I already got 4 under a new T-mobile account with 4 lines.
Yes, if it is a different promo, different from COSTCOAPPLENOV.

I think its safer to wait until funds are transferred. Did you unlock your device already?

As long as your lines on your plan haven't been filled, you can always add lines and do the promo. Each promo has a different code. So you are fine)
I have 4 lines and I already purchased a new phone per line with the old promo I already got my rebate from.

So, are you saying that the next promo, I could buy another 4 new phones without a problem?

Yeah that's my inclination, too. Not a big deal as I seem to have gotten one of my two added lines for free so it's only $20. Haven't unlocked phones yet but am already and will remain a T Mobile customer, so phones are in use on other lines. Just going to cancel the two added lines.

Judging by the amount of people that are porting out/cancelling lines after taking advantage of this promo, I wouldn't be surprised if T-Mobile does away with this type of promo or implements additional measures to prevent abuse.

Every promo is different. Each promo has its own promo code, but you have to add a new line for every iphone you buy and trade in a old device.
If the 700$ offer comes back next week then you can do it but you need to have all lines active and add a extra line.

People have been doing these promo for years, they actually made it better for the abuser recently

Before each iphone promos had a limit of one, now it's four.

there is already a new deal.
It is ONLY for Magenta plus plans.
So if you have that plan and can add more lines, you can go do the deal.
