How to check your local Wireless Advocates kiosk for inventory, assuming you have the item #. Unfortunately iPhone 13 256GB are OOS in my area but two different CostCo locations have iPhone 13 Pro MAX black and sierra blue in stock.

1) Call your local CostCo B&M [costco.com], press option 1, ask if they have item # in stock? If they don't, ask them to check the surrounding area. If you don't have the CostCo item # you could always just call the kiosk directly and ask them. If they provide you with an item # please update this wiki.
2) Assuming they say yes it's in stock and you want actual confirmation, call your local Wireless Advocates kiosk. To find their phone number, try a Google search [google.com] using your city and state.

So, my calculation for two phone 14s this year is:
Phone 1 = $719.99
Phone 2 = $719.99
Taxes $86.40 (6% sales tax)
Total = $1,526.38
Rebate = $630
Total = $896.38
If you assume 3 months of $20 per line plans ($180 total), your total out out pocket for two unlocked iphone 14 is $1076.38 (or $538.19 each).
why is that a requirement always? do they expect us to make babies every year around September?

I think it has to do more with how the 14 is a very incremental change from the 13. The 12 was an incremental change from the 11. Via Macrumors, the 12 sold 20% of Q1 and Q2 2021 sales whilst the pro models sold 35%.
While there was a lot of people getting the base 13 in Q1 & Q2 2022 which was 38% compared to the pro models ~30%, because the 13 was a sizable upgrade from the 12 due to the higher storage sizes and battery size.
14 is shipping with the same A15 as the 13 as well as only getting barely 1 more hour of battery. The 12 shipped with the same battery life as the 11.
While the 13 shipped with doubled storage from the 12 and up to 10 more hours of audio playback. For the average user that streams from spotify or apple music TEN WHOLE HOURS MORE is pretty decent.
I can definitely see the 14 not making up very much of the 14 lineup's sales. Maybe not 15%, but definitely nowhere as high as 38% like with the 13.
Battery sizes and lifes are straight from Apple's website.

It doesn't make any sense for anyone to buy iPhone 14 at all
So for value conscious people, go with 13 and save $100+ instead of the 14 for basically the same phone
For the ones who wants the best, go with 14 pro or 14 pro max
My guesses for sale figures are:
~8% iPhone 14
~12% iPhone 14 plus
~38% iPhone 14 pro
~42% iPhone 14 pro max
4. Yes!
A. You can only do this at the kiosk, and with phones that are in stock
B. Probably not. I did it with the Essentials plan last year but the kiosk reps will try to get you to upgrade to one of the Magenta plans.
C. None. Nada

I.e can I buy two phones on two lines. Trade in 2 iPhone 11s to get $800 in bill credits each and also get the $700?
Looking to switch
I've been a Costco member for years and literally just about every brand I buy is cheaper at Costco. Occasionally I'll see a fruit or paper plates might be cheaper somewhere else, but its very rare. One example...I just bought a DeWalt shop-vac @Costco a month or so ago, it was $79.99. The exact same model @Home Depot was $149.
Add in the fact that the gas is usually 20-25 cents cheaper than any gas station around and my membership is usually paid for just in gas savings over the course of the year. I save about $3 with every tank fill up over any other station.
Just stop.

->I couldn't find items that we could consume within expiry period
->The closest store is located around 20 minutes
So other than occasional chocolates buying, we were not using it(yes, including gas because I literally wasn't willing to drive 20 minutes just to save some money)
Even now after having 2 kids, I am contemplating to let it lapse(this time I have it for around 7 years because of my job in Pleasant Prairie where the Costco was hardly 10 minutes drive and gas is even cheaper in Wisconin overall) because I am relocated to branch where the closest one is now 15 minutes away (and in Illinois in Cook county where gas isn't that cheap overall)
I also got the tire deal as well where you get $150 Off plus free installation
I was addicted to TMobile deals that I had seen initially but those deals are no longer available (from some 3 yeaes now). Now almost every deal is surrounded around adding at least one new line. In 2015-2018, you would get deals without adding new lines(but a trade-in instead)
TLDR: Yes, just because a person isn't finding value in Costco/Sam membership doesn't make him an automatic liar
