Met some great employees there and got some great deals over the years. Thankfully I didn't have any pending rebates. This is sad news 😢

Seems like a silly reason to not shop some where that sells 1000s of different items not related to phones. Do you even leave your house? LMAO

They didn't seem that busy at my Costco. I had a bad experience with them. Talked with the guy about a family plan with contract for 24 months. I shop while he gets things ready. You sign nothing. I get home and review paperwork and it's 30 months. This stuff is extremely hard to undo. But I made them on principal. Many trips to there and official Verizon. Complained to Costco and they sent me $100 gift card. Glad to see them implode. Will only go to official stores in the future.

Folks who are waiting on the rebates, please add if you hear something from Costco. For years these deals sounded unsustainable, but they kept on fulfilling the rebates. Finally I dipped my toes in Sep and before it could be fulfilled , this hppens
Same here - Sept purchase - I'm right at 14 week mark. Fingers crossed

I wasn't sure what you meant by "mobile sales" until I read the comments

Mine is also September purchase. I opened separate tmobile lines for BYOD $300 rebates. Paying $120 per month for the service which I don't need.

No rebates will be issued, similar situation in 2009. I never did rebates since then.

LMFAO! Daaammmnnn I dodged a bullet there! Almost went to get a new upgrade around BF and looks like I wouldn't be getting my money! Sucks for all those in another SD thread that did. Feel bad for them the company scammed them of their $!

Costco will issue gift cards before they lose a single member

Sam's club has similar situations and AT&T took over the sales/promotion now .. I think 🤔

Official stores are not much better. I've had similar experiences in the cell phone provider official stores. They pay the people commissions based on sales, so everyone was trying to make money off me.
