2 yr agreement to get a corporate discount ? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I work with a company that uses Sprint and Nextell phones . This company just bought out my previous company . Luckly I still have a job LOL but anyways . I got off the phone with a sprint rep and after some searching he was unable to find my company's name in their list of discounts . But he did find a discount under a dealership listing , mainly the brand my dealership sells . Long story short he tells me I have to sign another two year agreement just to have a discount applied to my account . Is this true or is this guy clueless ? When my previous company had Verizon all I needed was a checkstub from payday to validate and it was applied without signing a contract . I nearly laughed at the guy on the phone when he said that . So anyone know if this is real or him just blowing smoke up my @SS.

A good place to start is: http://sprint.p.delivery.net/m/p/nxt/ais/wdyw.asp.
If that doesn't work then Google Sprint | Employer Discounts: Submit Email
Click on the first link. Enter your company email address. You'll receive a one-time email from Sprint telling you if you're eligible for a discount and how you can start saving today.

Could also just tell them you got a job at Home Depot (25% off), if in fact you did just get a job there. Verification amounts to a call from corporate asking you if you work there. That's about it.

I can verify this is 100% correct. Once the discount is attached the contract will be set two years from that date. This does not affect upgrade eligibility

if you do not already have a discount, yes, Sprint is requiring a 2 year extension. If you have a discount and leave your job and your new employer has a better discount, you do not have to extend again to switch the discount.

A new 2 year agreement is required unless it is added within 90 days of activating the account

[Q] Sprint Discounts...Where to get one?

I've read random posts throughout threads from people asking about discounts or people saying where you can find one. I personally have a 25% discount from a thread on slickdeals.net that went into effect in June. I am unsure if the deal I got is still good but I'll post the link at the bottom. I've also seen threads like the 23% off student rate discount but not all schools are eligible.
I recently found out a friend was paying almost $250 for 4 lines and I've been looking around trying to find some way of lowering that for her. I'm sure everyone here would appreciate some way of lowering their bill though so that's why I'm posting this.
The inspiration for this thread came from some posts I read in the CM7 thread and I thought it would help to open the question up to the entire community. Does anyone have any discounts they know of that haven't been previously mentioned?
As many know, Sprint changed their Terms of Service to only discount the first 2 lines

Working for Wells Fargo gets you a 27% discount.
Sprint percentage discounts or NVPs now come with two year contracts. They are now officially checking socials before applying the discounts.

It really depends on who you talk to. If you go in the store they maybe will be a bit more leinent to get the discount. IF you are looking to upgrade soon or add a line I know starting sunday that are doing instant rebates.

When I worked for a Sprint store, a few moons ago (now I install the towers) we had a list of company's that offered discounts, the percentage, and the code to put on your account. As a salesman if your gonna be adding a line, or upgrading your phone to a phone that has an awesome "spiff" I was gonna go on that list and give you some kinda discount. Those days are probably done. When I left there were the 2 billing systems and migrating everyone over. But I am sure with a little persuading the right sales person can get you a discount if they are gonna gain from it...
I found this info about 2 years ago. The method I am posting works for either Time/Warner or Cox Communications. If you follow the directions you can receive upto a 27% discount like me. I personally used these basic directions to set up my discount. I don't know about the the time warner discount personally but according to the post I read it works in the same manner. I used this method for cox communications. Due to the wording in their contract with sprint anyone qualifies.
I'm not sure if this was ever posted before but I have found a way to get up to 27% discount off most Sprint plans.
A) sign up for an AIM Mail email account
https://new.aol.com/productsweb/?promocode=825960&ncid=txtlnkuswebr00000040
B) go to the corp discount page on the sprint site and enter your aim mail account as your business email address.
http://sprint.p.delivery.net/m/p/nxt/ais/wdyw.asp?id12=UHPCHP_Link_EmployeeDiscounts
Sprint will then send you an e-mail with a link to a private store that says you are a Time Warner employee and you get a 25% discount.
Plans with this discount cost less than on the current sero plans.
Remember to use coupon code save50 to get a $50 invoice credit on newservice! ( I didn't do this)
Thats it
let me know how it works out.
This takes up to 2 months to kick in. I have had this discount since 07 and it works for everyone that has tried it.
Btw I don't take credit for this exploit. I stumbled upon it.

I'd like to know this as well. I'm going over to my friends house today to help her sign up for the Time Warner discount (not very tech savvy, she gets confused easily), we'll see if it works.
Well, for the record, I was denied. I received an email saying that so-and-so sprint employee reviewed my discount request. They determined that "my current plan provides me with the best value available, making my account ineligible for the additional employee discounts I requested"... No harm done I guess.

Sprint forced me to activate a new line to get the Epic 4G Touch

I walked into my local Sprint store with $600 cash in my pocket anticipating to walk out with a brand new SGS2E4GT at full MSRP without any additional commitment on my contract. (Have you guys noticed the full non contract price for this device is not listed.)
After the sales rep got the device from the stock room, we were ready to set it up with my existing account. After he logs into my account he notifies me that Im not eligable to an upgrade until January. So with a smile, I informed him that Im aware that Im not eligable yet & thats why Im willing to pay the full price for the phone. Then he said, Sorry sir, but effective today, every sprint device is ONLY available at a carrier subsidized price to people willing to activate a new line or those qualified for an upgrade. Which means nobody can purchase a phone at full price & swap it to their current number. (This **** didn't make any sense to me at all.)But any ways long story short, after a few minutes of blah blah blah, I walked out of the store with a brand new GS2, and a 3rd line to my account which I will not use but will be billed monthly $20 plus $10 premium data. Then he had the nerve to remind me that If I swap the new phone to my primary line before 30 days, I will lose my mail in rebate.....
What the hell is hapenning to Sprint????
That sucks. I had no problem getting mine.

While I'm aware of their new "no device without a 2 year contract" policy I didn't think it was impossible to replace a phone without a new contract. Frankly it sounds like you got fncked. I would call Sprint and escalate this up to someone that gives a fnck because frankly this is a gigantic load of bull****.
...there is no way in hell that you can't even replace a device on an existing line/contract. If that is true, well, there is NO REASON AT ALL TO STAY WITH SPRINT. (VERY SLOW) UNLIMITED DATA IS NO REASON TO STAY WITH A COMPANY THAT WONT EVEN LET YOU REPLACE A PHONE WITHOUT A NEW CONTRACT.
Even given their new restrictive policies I highly doubt that what you were subject to was actual official Sprint policy--I don't give a **** what they say, they are likely idiots who interpreted the new policy wrong (either for their own benefit or merely out of their own extreme ignorance).
Escalate this as appropriate. This is bull****...and if you find that this is actual official policy please demand the section of the contract that specifies this and LET US KNOW. We will spread the word and take heed which will result in Sprint losing US and EVERYBODY WE HAVE ALWAYS RECOMMENDED GO TO SPRINT. EVERYBODY. Do you hear that Sprint?
...if (and when) you (most likely) find this to be complete bull**** on your Sprint reps part (and I would be sure to post the store number and location here and many other places, store manager name included) I would also demand a form of compensation for having been lied to and tricked into a contract. Nothing extravagant, but, something you find equivalent in value to your time and expense required to deal with this crap.
Yeah, I had no issues getting mine today either and technically my 22 month upgrade was not until april.
Thanks for the input guys, I really felt like I was suckered into signing an extra line which I dont need in order to get the device I really want, even though I was willing to pay full price for it. I will call corporate tomorrow and bring it to their attention. Thank You.
Good luck, hope you get it solved. Definitely sounds like bs to me.

Make sure you return the device by Sunday so you don't get charged an activation fee. Given the situation you described, you can probably get any charges reversed by care anyway... but to be on the safe side, return it within 3 days to avoid the fee for sure.
That's BS, u got the short end of the stick. So much to talk about here. First of all Sprint is known to make an exception that close out of a 2 year agreement and provide you with full subsidization. At the very least they will provide you with partial subsidization. The reason why they probably don't sell them at full price is because it probably doesn't ever happen because it makes zero sense even with the recent early termination hike to $350 dollars. If you want it right now, process the order overnight on the line in question with overnight delivery from a retailer like wirefly.com and return and close out the new line u purchased. I'm pretty sure they'll give you options to buy without a new line at wirefly. That would be really bad for business if they didn't. I think the return policy is 14 days now and you may suffer a restocking fee for it all. Good luck.
The phone is $499.99 retail on Sprint.com, so you definitely got suckered into a new activation and a nice commission/spiff for the sales person who got to you.
Wow, i remember those days as a cell phone salesguy and the stuff we used to pull, like these (and much worse).
This phone doesn't have a mail in rebate. And remember you can call customer care tell them that they are not allowing you to buy the phone. At least I didn't get a rebate.

I was just going to say this. If u go on sprint.com u can buy the phone without an upgrade for $499.99 so that just shows that place screwed u. Hope u get this straightened out cuz thats bull**** man.
Yeah use the 14 day satisfaction guarantee to tell that store a big **** you.
Just pay the ETF on your old line. Depending how long you had it the most it can be is $200 but since you said your upgrade was in January, it should be a lot less then that even be less then that. In the end you will save more money then buying the phone outright as long as you do not care about getting a new number.....
Then you go go thank the guy in the Sprint store for saving you a ****load of money!
And I thought there were no mail in rebates? Did you actually get a mail in rebate with the phone?
I bought mine for 499 without a problem.

What a fool. They feed you a spoon of bull **** and you ate it. All over a phone which in a few weeks could be brought on ebay for $350 and some change.

[Q?] Sprint discount for Applebees Employees?

I heard that as an Applebees employee that I'm eligible for a 15% or so discount on my monthly bill. Does anyone have any knowledge of where/how to go about this?
Thanks guys
-₪- sent from my פגדגאץ S II -₪-
Just call sprint and ask them to apply corporate discount to your account. They will ask for company and then attempt to verify. They usually require an email in the form of [email protected]. Most of us that are not in the corporate ranks do not have those however. In this case they can use a copy of employee id, check stub, or other methods. Shouldn't be hard to accomplish. Hope this helps.

Keep in mind this will automatically extend your contract for another 2 years by accepting the discount.

I know that this is a old post. But the answer is YES! Disclosure: I am the National Wireless Benefits Manager at Sprint for ALL Applebee's and IHOP (regardless of Franchisee ownership), from coast-to-coast. Employees of both Applebee's and IHOP get a 17% monthly discount off eligible charges and OTHER special savings not available to general public.
This forum will not allow me to post outside link to the Applebee's and IHOP Sprint ordering site because I'm a new member. So, private message me for those links.
You can activate ANYWHERE (Best Buy, Radio Shack, even Sprint store, etc...) and get your monthly 17% employee discount code, BUT, not all specials will be available via all channels. You should complete the below steps within the first week of new activation to get your 17% code on ASAP. Retro-credits will NOT be issued/offered for any months of discount missed.
Employees that are existing customers needing discount, follow these steps:
1. Take a pic of your recent paystub (black out all sensitive info)
2. On your smartphone go to sprint.com/verify
3. Sign in with your Sprint wireless number
5. Tap / Select “Upload a photo of your proof of eligibility”
6. Select “Pay/pension stub issued within last 90 days*”
7. Next…. > Choose file… to select that pic that you took in step 1 above… and you should know what to do with the rest
The Corporate ID for Applebee’s employees is NADIN_ABE_ZZF; for IHOP is NADIN_IHO_ZZF
And yes, if your're current contract date is not within 90 days, then you will have to agree to a new 2 year contract from the point you request the monthly discount code, BUT this will NOT AFFECT your equipment upgrade eligibility date(s). For example, your existing equipment full eligibility date is 12/2/13, you apply for the 17% Applebee's Employee discount code today 10/22/13. Your new 2 year contract date will be fulfilled on 10/21/15. But when you upgrade to another equipment on 12/2/13, you will be required to agree to a new 2 year contract from that point on, so it wipes out the old 10/21/15 date and the new 12/1/15 will be in place.
Lastly: The name of the Sprint account holder DOES NOT have to be the actual employee (Applebee's or IHOP). So, long as the Applebee's or IHOP employee will declare that he/she is using as least one line on the account, he/she can follow the same steps above. This should solve any issues of the account being under the employee's spouse's, parents', relative's name, etc...

Corporate discount help

Hey guys
Looking to jump from Sprint (bad service area, was getting yearly upgrades but no longer, don't use gobs of data). I run a YMCA and have 4 lines to move. If I was an individual I could get an 8% discount as a Y employee but if I set up the account as a business account (which I have to do) I don't. Seems odd to me.
Not trying to be overly greedy. I just want to get the best deal I can but it is looking like all they are offering are waived activations and free S2's, which I would get an an individual Y person as well. I like the S2 (my current Sprint phone) but if I switch I was planning on getting the S3 and they quoted me $230.
Any advice on corporate stuff and/or saving a few bucks? I'm all about the Washingtons...

well not sure if this helps or is line with what your looking for, but me and the mrs just switch to T-mobile week before last, and I did some reseach and found out about this BOGO deal they are doing for the galaxy s3 and other galaxy devices... I took advantage of it, and got mysefl the s3 while the wife got the s2, so I know its accurate... it last until sept 4th, but if you can afford the up front fee's, you could get back a couple of mail in rebates to offset the punch in the pocket?
heres a link to a break down of the deal.

Best thing is go into a T-Mobile store and let they know your situation. Preferably speak with an assistant manager or have them contact their business to business rep. They are throwing all kinds of Deals towards businesses to activate!

Have you tried contacting their cancellation department? Similar to retention for sprint.

I didn't qualify for any discounts because I work for a small business. However, my mother works for the University of Utah Hospital, and they get a 15% discount, plus waived activation fees. The rep told me that if I make her an authorized user on the account, I can use her discount, even if she doesn't have a line. So I have a line for my wife and I, and my mom is an authorized user.
She did have to come in with her employee badge to activate the discount. And I guess if my mother and I ever had a falling out, she could close the account, or lock me out, or something crazy like that, but I am not too worried about it.
If you know you someone that you wouldn't mind making an authorized user, and they are employed by someone getting a better discount, you could try it. I know some of the better discounts are UPS, Wells Fargo, and Frito Lay to name a few.

thats what I applied
Good deal, and actually if you were to apply with a business ID I believe they use to have a 6 or 8 percent discount they would offer. Any who, good thing you got a deal.

Where are you from OP ? You don't HAVE to sign up under biz account. You can do individual account with discount.
If your in denver send me a pm. Ill get you set up

Hey guys
Looking to jump from Sprint (bad service area, was getting yearly upgrades but no longer, don't use gobs of data). I run a YMCA and have 4 lines to move. If I was an individual I could get an 8% discount as a Y employee but if I set up the account as a business account (which I have to do) I don't. Seems odd to me.
Not trying to be overly greedy. I just want to get the best deal I can but it is looking like all they are offering are waived activations and free S2's, which I would get an an individual Y person as well. I like the S2 (my current Sprint phone) but if I switch I was planning on getting the S3 and they quoted me $230.
Any advice on corporate stuff and/or saving a few bucks? I'm all about the Washingtons...

What would be the point of this? Besides the head ache. You can work a little better deals if you use a tax ID to activate or do a sole proprietor where you use your social but still use the business name.

Hey guys. Sorry I disappeared right after posting for help. Vacation time and a little forgetfulness....
Update
After emailing their business support I was contacted by a local rep for business accounts. Here's is what I am being offered:
6 lines
4000 Shared minutes
5 gb data on each line
Unlimited text
~$350.00 per month (Should have exact amount tomorrow)
$150 Port in credit for each line (2 of which will go towards ETFs)
Device prices were a little "meh?" but he was going to go back and check and get exact numbers tomorrow. He did say we could get the Exihibit for free but I think the S3 price was ~ $250?
Upgrade time was 15 months but he did describe it as a scalable thing so I don't know how much that will compare with other 22 month upgrade times.
This sounds a lot better than before but I am curious to see the devices.

Rebates

Hello all,
Wondering if anyone has received the Note 4 rebate or better yet, when should we start seeing them on our mailboxes.

I just got the same email... Here's what crazy. I really didnt need to send in my old Droid RAZR M apparently.
I pre-ordered online and submitted for a trade in online using verizon's system. Since Verizon was taking forever to send me something saying, "We got your phone, Here's you $15 trade in", I sent in my Samsung rebate using the print out from the Verizon Trade in site saying my trade in amount would be $15. Of course, that's just a page that verifies that you created a trade in request. It doesnt mean you actually sent the phone in.
Oh well, just glad they approved the Samsung rebate. Im guessing they got so many of these and there was no real standard format, so they didnt have time to do normal rebate shennanigans and deny people for random reasons.

Hahahaha, no surprise. These prizelogic people are idiots. I honestly can't believe Samsung is still partnering with them. Let me explain.
They had a promotion for the Note 3. Register your device and get a free $50 Google Play credit. This was suppose to be a 3 month promotion. The online form was name, email, phone number, maybe address, and IMEI. They didn't text you a verification code. If was as simple as if you entered in a valid IMEI, they emailed you a $50 code. So take your IMEI and changing one number could net you another $50 if you have a second email address. Or you could jump on email, search Note 3, and find someone with a picture of their IMEI. You see where this is going. I think they had 30,000 codes, and ALL were gone within 36 hours. Ebay was flooded with people selling them at $30-40 a pop. I think someone found one ebay account where the guy had sold over a hundred. Anyway, so yeah, these same people who horribly ruined that entire promotion are the ones running this one.
I too got the email saying I was approved. I bought a brand new POS phone at Best Buy for $30, got $10 for a trade in value, and that will net me a $190 check. So basically $180 off a new phone. Nice!
I used an old BB Bold or Torch, got 12 bucks for it, so expecting 188 back.
Got my confirmation email 2 days ago. Yay
Trade in $20
Rebate check $180
Note 4 purchase price $299.99
299.99 - 200 = 199.99 Note 4 final purchase price

$30 to purchase the trade in phone, $10 off from Verizon and then a check for $190
Need a calculator?
I got the same conditional "rebate is approved... but subject to verification" email on November 11th.
I got $65 already for an old ATT iphone 4 I had lying in the bottom of a drawer, that plus the $135 from Sammy and the $100 bill credit I got means that they are paying me one cent for the phone!
