T mobile refused to pay $2500 in rebates from Costco. I am very experienced in getting these, and fulfilled all requirements carefully. I am now suing them in civil court in their hq jurisdiction.

I am curious how this "upload bill documentation" will work with Xfinity Mobile as there isn't a way to get a normal PDF statement for Xfinity Mobile.
we need to upload bill to get rebate?

since it says upload bill for documentation Complete port-in and upload bill documentation within 30 days of activation. If you have cancelled lines in past 90 days, you may need to reactivate them first.
that means we cant use visible? because it mentions verizon

Xfinity doesn't do "statements" and it specifically mentions Xfinity as being compatible. And Visible is owned by Verizon. It's basically a long winded way of saying "the number can't be on T-Mobile or T-Mobile owned subsidiary or MVNO using T-Mobile within the past 90 days"

As for "cancelled lines in past 90 days" cancelled numbers can't be ported so idk what that is about.

Whatever. You probably didn't even realize to opt out of arbitration with the first 30 days of service. LOL

A few tips.
I switched to ™ in Feb (internet) and March (cell phones). Went to the corporate store. The process was smooth. Switched 2 lines for the $ 200 credit per phone ($ 400 total). Eight weeks later, the prepaid Visa cards came. $ 200 on each Visa. Inconvenient to use as is. I opened a ™ money account, then transferred the cards to that account. I then applied for the ™ debit card. I then added my ™ debit card to autopay as my default card. I also added it to my Apple wallet. That would allow me to send money from my Apple wallet to the ™ money account. I may just buy the prepaid cards at stores.

I traded in an older XS MAX on an iPhone 14 Pro Max, for the $ 800 credit. $ 150 was instant, and used for the sales tax and misc. The other $ 650 is a monthly credit for 24 months. When I got home, I logged in and my credit was already on there.

If you don't use the corporate store, everything is at your own risk. A lot of sad tales on Reddit.

I'm totally lost with the discussions. What are the numbers? We have 7 lines on ATT, all but one fully paid off phones and waiting for the Christmas season to find deals (either upgrade to iPhone 15 at att or move). We pay $30+ taxes per line (including company discount). How will the numbers work out here? What do I have to do to get them?
This may help. I'm saving about $ 100 per month by switching from ATT to ™. That includes the internet and 2 phones. I'm on Magenta Max 55 plus. A big benefit is no ad Netflix in HD, with 2 streams. That's the $ 21 plan. It also includes Apple TV. I was on ATT DSL for $ 70 month for 25 mbps. My ™ internet costs $ 30 month for average speed of 300 mbps.

The internet has some quirks but easy to live with for the savings and great speed. Before switching, I downloaded the ™ 90 day free pass to check coverage. It was great. There is not a direct correlation between cell service and internet service, but? See my detailed post just above.

What was the reason for denial? I did the $300 per line promotion with Costco, and got all my VISA cards. I am planning to do it again next month when I am out of the 90 day window.
I believe the $300 per line promotion with Costco is done for good
