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

Check with your employer. Mine gives me 25% for being employee. Most Sprint dealers have a book with thousands of employer discounts

I get 25% off for a fireman discount...also no taxes and it's a government account rather than a regular
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.

Great post, thanks, I'm going to have to let my friend know about this one

Current customers are just going to be denied...... unless you fill out false information on your application.
I read somewhere that Sprint now does credit checks to verify. Can't find where I read that, anyone else hear/read anything about this?

Not sure, I wouldn't think they'd be able to check it and see if you actually work somewhere and are eligible for the discount.

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.
I was supposed to get a bill of $140 every month but it fluctuates around $160-190, is it possible to get a 10-15 dollar discount every month by saying something??
If anyone has an idea, please share it.
Thanks
Corporate/university discount. 'nough said.
I asked for student discount when I got my epic and the guy went "No student discounts, but do you work at CVS?" We both knew I didn't but I said yes and I got a discount of like 20% off my bill a month for 2 years.

SERO is useless. Just give the 800 number a company name like CVS or Accenture (25% off).
Ok, so if I say I work at CVS, won't they ask me to verifiy that? How can I do this?
Thanks
So If I just give them a CVS Number, they will give me a discount?

All you have to do is call them up, tell them you work for CVS, and that you were told there's a discount. They won't ask for an email or phone number. They do not verify.
Just be wary, currently we are going through accounts to verify place of employment for the NVP discounts.
They will more than likely ask you to go into a store for situations just like the ones these guys are telling you go do. Apparently they are going to start auditing all accounts with discounts to make sure they aren't fraudulent.

If you're off contract, call up retentions and threaten to cancel. They'll more than likely offer you some kind of discount. I did this back when I had to switch from SERO to a different plan in order to upgrade my phone and they offered me a $20 credit for 2 years. I don't think they offer the $20 credit anymore, but they might offer you something.

I did something similar. Patience is the key. I was asked for address and phone number of my workplace(I used I.B.M, was actually working on a research center) back in 2007....still getting 23% off. Plug away at retentions, no telling what you might get.
I wouldn't suggest lying....Seriously? lol
Just call the 1800 number and tell them you're a student, they should give you a discount. Try a few reps before you give up, some are willing to help while others...aren't so much.
I am assuming your on Sprint...
$69.99 unlimited plan is great. Then if you bank with chase they have a 27% discount. My monthly bill is roughly $62.
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

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.

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...

Cool. Thanks for signing up and chiming in. You've earned a Thanks from me.:good:
Just got off the phone with Sprint and successfully got a $100 credit posted on my account to help ease the pain of the $300 price tag!
I told her a friend also was interested in this promotion.
She said just call Sprint and ask for "Account Services"
Then ask about the customer loyalty credit. I have been a customer for 6 years which qualified me for $100 credit which posted to my account immediately!
My total due is now (-$100)
She said the amount of credit depends on how long you have been a customer.
Credit ranges from $25-$100.
It does not even require an upgrade.
I cant guarantee anything and I am still not sure how I pulled it off, but I think it is worth a shot to try yourself.
I have 2 lines and both are eligible for an upgrade, although she said the eligibility had nothing to do with the credit.
Now my wallet will definitely feel better when I pick up my GN2 today!!
Even if you already picked up your N2, give it a shot.
Phone number for retentions: 888-273-9460
Discounts are for the account, and not for a phone upgrade so this can be done by any Sprint customer. Make sure to specify that you are checking to see if you have a credit or discount available for your account.
Discounts so far:
$100 one time
$25 one time
$25 for four months
$40 for four months
$45 for four months
Hope you guys can benefit from one phone call like I did.
Please post your results if you successfully got a credit using this method.

So in short, I got the phone plus a $100 credit on the brand new line.

It is for accounts that are near their term end, they give the money for you to extend it one year. But that will help cover activation and some as I am getting it from Best Buy.

Great, I guess ymmv because I have two lines with upgrade eligibility, and was not forced to have any contract extension.
I try and Sprint CSR shot me down like a duck
Got the $100 credit for adding a year on to my contract that is up in december. I'm upgrading to the note 2 tomorrow, so that's 2 years from tomorrow, nullifying the year add-on from today. Free 100 bucks since I was upgrading either way. Retention department did it. Remember, be nice. You definitely catch more flies with honey.
WOW Thank You for posting this deal. I tried it over the phone with account services a month ago, but they shot me down. I saw this thread and figured I'd give it another try via chat.
I'm on sero premium and was credited $400 for 4 lines! I simply asked for contract renewal credit via chat and they gave me mine, then I went on to ask for one on my parents account, etc. Her name was Holli A.
They gave me $100 credit for each of my two lines and another $100 for each of my parents two lines via chat. I also asked if it was available for my sisters line and oddly enough, it wasn't. They have their own accounts and their contracts end the same time as mine, so I have no idea why my sister wasn't eligible for it. Maybe it's because she's younger lol.
Thank You for posting this deal! Now I have to figure out if I can handle the Note 2 lacking voice & data at the same time.
Been with Sprint since 1999, have an upgrade available for 1 of my lines, and no dice.
It's totally dependent on who you talk to, I think. Some will honestly try to help you, some just want their paycheck and go home.

Worked for me, I had to go through three people until I got the manager, and was very nice about it, and stated that I can get the same thing with Verizon and wanted to know if there was anything Sprint was willing to do to make my decision easy.
I joined Sprint in 2007. I got $25 off the next two months. Better than nothing I guess. :victory:
You can also email them from the website and ask about a Renewal/Retention credit. I have done this in the past. I am too hesitant to do it anymore though. I have 6 lines on a family plan and the max is supposed to be 5. The last thing I want is someone digging through my account and deciding I cant have 6 lines anymore. That would burn me far more than a renewal credit will help.
Yes, technically they are called renewal credits internally and dependant upon when your contract is due to end or when it ended, the more money you are eligible for.
For those who are getting credits split over time, those are agents who are just doing what they can to help you out, which is always great. Regular care agents can do that, though they aren't supposed to. That can also do the renewal credits themselves if your account shows you eligible. The amount is also determined by your "churn" ranking. The less likely you are to leave Sprint, the more you are eligible for.
Going to Account Services isn't a requirement, but if the regular care rep isn't willing to play ball, then by all means ask for them. At a time when things are starting to turn for the better, now more than ever Sprint will do what they can to hold on to as many customers as possible. As by the example that was mentioned earlier, the best time to do it is when you have an upgrade available, but haven't used it yet. At that point, it's literally free money because the upgrade will cancel out the extension you just agreed to.
Team Venum Like A BOSS!!!
I never understood threads like this. People just asking for a handout.
Yeah, it doesn't work either because i tried it and it was a no go

it's more like making deals/haggling than handouts. you're paying x amount of money for y value of service. trying to increase the ratio of x:y in your favor isn't really asking for handouts.

That is awesome, could you please share the link that walamart has the note ii for att for 199. What do you mean by "(p) Customers"?
thanks
I'm sorry but can you rephrase what you just said? Do you mean you got the SGN2 for $199 by being nice to an ATT CS rep?
If so. Can you provide more detail? Also, how do you get Walmart to match $199?
Please provide more detail since your post is like a tease.
Grats & hope you can help others get an awesome. I would get one by wkend if I can get it for 199.

I'm guessing he means Premiere customers.

I searched on Walmart wireless...no dice. Unless he provides how he got att to match and how he got the price from Walmart... this is bogus.
Hey...if he does...I'll eat crow.

Not taking either side here, but when radio shack was offering the GRAY HTC One X for 49.99 pre order, it seemed like a no brainer so I ordered it. Went into my local ATT with reciept- not only did they match the price, they allowed me to walk out with a white one on launch day. Remember they were going for 199 @ the time.
Just saying, deals are possible...
I was able to get mine for 199 too.
I had called customer service this weekend and asked about ordering the note II.Now since I am a premier customer I had to talk to regular CS. At the bottom of the page on the GN2 it says limited time offer: up to 100 offer. I specifically asked if this 100 discount was already taken off of the current price or if it would be applied to the 299. I had 2 specific CS reps tell me it would be off of the 299 price. So basically making it 199. I had both of them make a note on my account stating it would be 199 after the discount. So I called and talked to premier today and they tried to give me the run around about the 199 price and I told them I had spoke to multiple CS reps and they stated it was going to be 199 after the discount. I also mentioned that it should have been noted to my account. Once all was said and done the CS manager said that since I was told the price would be 199 and it was documented on my account twice they would agree to that price. So he said to pre-order it online and to call back to adjust my account the 100 bucks. I was also able to get my activation fee waived and since I was a Premier customer I got the $25 bucks off of the order. So basically I got this phone for $175 plus tax. Not too shabby!! It also had a spot when ordering to choose FED EX Next day AIR for 14.95. I opted for that and hope it will be here tomorrow. GL to those that are going to try this and I hope this thing gets here quick.
Yikes me Bad, Sorry i should of been a little more specific.
AT&T Premier ...aka (AT&T/P)
I contacted them inquiring a local Walmart ad (instore not online) offering the device for a $199.99 / 2 year upgrade.
What made this even more strange is that right in the next shopping center, there is an AT&T store (299.99)
So I called AT&T/P to simply inquire cuz it is $100 bux diff. + being limited to purchasing devices solely via (P) website, etc...
Sort of a bummer that we cant take advantage. The rep was kind enough to look at history and kindly got an approval to order the device at $199
I wasnt really pushing the 'give me or else' leave the opps open to a billing credit, or anything else of the value and they will easily sort something.
Here is the fact...They usually always do.
Also remember this, the world of strict inhouse / innetwork phones is RAPIDLY coming to a demise.
With Google phones & a billion other options to purchase better devices and cheaper from China...
You would be surprised how much the ropes are starten to loosen.
---- also forgot to mention...I was NOT even eligible for an upgrade until next Feb 2013. Again courtesy asking....sometimes Courtesy doing!

There's always one of these threads and as usual, they are usually created by members without much of a posting history. There will be those who get it free like me, too.

I called Premiere CS & they said that the $100 is already account on the $299. I wasn't able to get them to reduce it to 199.99.
EDIT:
WOOHOO, after 6 unsuccessful calls, I finally get a regular CS rep (the Premiere CS rep couldn't help me at all) that was willing to help me out. He was kind enough to give me the $100 discount but on the next bill only. He said that he see's on my account that I've been trying to upgrade to a Note 2 but keep on getting disconnected. That was the only way I could get $100 off the 299.99 pricing.
So here's the final pricing w/ discount & credit on next bill
$270 (so I got an extra 29.99 off) w/ free 1 day shipping
w/ a -$116.57 credit on next bill
I'm so STOKED. Thank you OP, I believe in you!
new here but have been watching the xda closely lately cuz im getting a sgn2, with that said i am not concerned of the price, money comes money goes that the way of life just like *****'s. anyway i have been monitering my premier acct with att and it hasnt ben updated since oct 27. i called again today to get some answers cuz it just says processing and its supposed to ship today but the att ***** like always couldnt help me so i said **** u ***** and cancelled my order. ill just go to the store first thing friday morn to pick my **** up. just wondering if any1 else had issues like this.
Congrats on the savings! May I ask which Walmart you saw the ad in? If possible, could you upload a scan? It would be nice to get some sort of savings since AT&T is reboxing the phone without the headphones and the Samsung cool box. :laugh:

BTW Thanks for being that guy who ruins all of the Customer Service reps for the rest of us and putting them in a bad mood because the world doesn't revolve around you....
Well, I don't post much on any message boards. The only reason I actually posted here is because I actually got the deal, just a different way. I think if it helps anyone else get a better deal on the GN2 then it's worth sharing. Just sayin....
Any chance you can give us the area where the ad was run?? The zip code maybe to look up the ad on walmart's site to use for price match.

To start off, I get a 20% discount off handsets from my company.
I spoke to multiple reps talking about how I'm considering leaving to AT&T and just getting Nexus 4 off contract and getting the T-Mobile 4G nationwide truly unlimited plan for $70 a month. I was able to get $125 worth of credit toward my bills. I was also able to get the Note II for $275 (plus additional 20% company discount) which made it $220. Free 2 day shipping and activation fee waived.
With the discounts and credits, I ended up getting the Note 2 for $95 before tax on a 2 year contract. :good:
My note 1 was "junked out" by best buy. They gave me around $800 store credit (they give you their retail price which is 750+tax) and then I'm having them price match ATT outright cost of 650. I should make $100 store credit to best buy on the deal. and BOOM goes the dynamite.
