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

I requested unlock last night. Got the request email. Didn't get any approval email yet till now. However I checked my imei on sprint or ting boyd, it said eligible.

I tested with non tmobile simcard. It's unlocked! I can make calls from different provider.

My suggestion, try sprint or ting boyd imei check even though you haven't received the unlocked approval email.

I received the unlock approval email. After 48 hours, I tried a verizon sim. It didn't say Congrats as the email sugggested but I could make a phone call. Then I tried a Sprint sim. It couldn't recognize it. This makes me kind of concerned. Tmobile web site still shows my phone locked

Any recommendations? Is my phone unlocked or not?

No. Costco gave you 10% discount on iPhones. T-Mobile considers the full price.

How to transfer money from Virtual card to checking account. Can any one of you tell the procedure . Thanks in advance
Here is what dmart9 said:

"Log in to the rebate card webpage and click the 'Access $' tab, then transfer. The 'transfer' button is also on the 'Dashboard' tab.
You can only have your bank info attached to 1 rebate card at any same time. So, once you initiate your bank transfer, remove your bank info.
Now log on to the next rebate card and repeat the process until you have all your cards drained."

Any experience with cancellation using port out, will they give me credit if i cancel mid of the cycle. If not then i might as well stay for the whole cycle.
