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

Anybody who submitted the rebate after Dec 6th, have you got your rebate approved ? I have accepted my lower credit for the phone but have not received the rebates. The status still says Received

No just the IMEI for the physical SIM - the one that shows up in "My Phone" section of your TMobile account. Once that is unlocked, the ESIM is also unlocked automatically.
thanks!

I had an older account that I closed (unrelated to this deal) which had a credit balance - it took a few calls to get it sorted out - apparently they hold it 30 days past your last bill to ensure no more charges (yeah makes no sense of how I would charge after my line is cancelled and last bill is generated Smilie but whatever). Long story short though, they will send you a "refund" card (same card as the virtual one that was issued for the $700 but physical one instead) - you can then use it as a credit card or else you can cash it out using the same "Access $".

Absolutely as long as you got the rebates and it is unlocked, you are all good.

Got my rebates Ms card prepaid & immediately transfer to my bank. It's less than 60 days. I thought I was getting 641-54 credit for the phone but actually I got the full 641 so the trade in actually worth more than 700 including the credits. Just contact TMobile to get them unlock then I'm done. This is a great deal.
How did you transfer VC to bank account?

Once you access the card, browse the menu, there is an option to transfer the fund to your bank with no fee. I got my within a day.

Can we also chat with"message team" through the t mobile site to cancel the lines?
Can I cancel three of four lines before receiving the rebates of 2 added lines?

Great!!! Thank you Smilie
Transferred all cards to bank account. One thing to mention, it did not allow multiple VCs to be transferred to same account, so you will need multiple bank accounts to transfer VC for all lines.
