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.

in 24 hours. Be nice suggest porting your numbers and interested in buying a new phone and talk about drop calls and data being slow and 4g not working and paying an extra $20 a month for service that sometimes works. Be nice

I was thinking it was going to be one of my older lines, NOPE...it was my new line I just added last week so that I could get the Note 2! So in short, I got the phone plus a $100 credit on the brand new line.

Thanks, done and worked! $100 added.
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.

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.

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

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.
Today I learned the hard way of Sprint Early Termination Fees!!!. this was verified by several customer service representative. only at 2 days before my trial period I had problems with my bill and found out that ETF(Early Termination Fees) are NOT PRORATED the way we used to know. just after 8 months is when you start your prorated cycle at $340.00, then from the 9th to the 19th months goes $20.00 per month, then form the 20th to the 23th month go to $100.00, and the Last month to $0.00. I did not knew that. on AT&T after the first month it will go by $10.00 a month until goes to $0. WHAT A RIPOFF!!!!!!!!!!!. I fought with 5 diferent representatives at the store and on the phone until finaly got a complete credit of my ETF!!!. WHAT A FIGHT!!!. I spended 7 years as a Tmobile customer before because this same problem with Sprint. almost leave for AT&T!. BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!.
Has anyone had this bad experience???
You should've called retentions instead. Probably would've gotten it the first time as long as you seemed polite. (Polite with a mixture of annoyedness - This way they know that you are having trouble but still want to help you because you are polite)

Guess you should have read the contract first? Its all very clearly written out and having a thread with you screaming about it... is pretty lame.
yeah..they are called "contracts". read them before you sign them buddy
What I'm reading in this thread is "boo hoo I'm butthurt because I didn't read".
It's right in the contract, I point it out to customers every single day. It's like signing all of the paperwork on a new car, driving it for a week, then complaining because you found out your interest rate is 2 points higher than what you actually wanted.

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?

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!

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.

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
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.

Anybody know yet if full price purchases are included, or upgrades only? No consistent answer from BB yet and not a peep from Samsung. More and more this seems like a "shoot from the hip" effort by Samsung with little thought other than a knee jerk response to try and stem the market-share bleeding due to the iPhone 6 and the iPhone Plus Bendy.

Hi there, @rushless - Please post questions in the Q&A section - thanks.
The $200 gift card only applies if you TRADE IN an existing smartphone. I don't believe it excludes phones purchased at full cost, but I'm not 100% certain.
The gift card is a Best Buy thing, so I'm not sure why you're expecting Samsung to chime in. Samsung is offering their own similar promotion, however. If you activate a new Note 4 and trade in an existing smartphone elsewhere, Samsung will cut you a check for $200 - $(trade in value of phone), provided you send them proof.
Samsung is working with best buy on this one, so we get the best buy $200 gift cert. Instead of the $200 rebate check.
That works for me, since we'll get the full purchase amount on our best buy credit cards, and will earn reward zone credits based on that amount. ($20 on two phones, I I'll turn around and just apply the gift cert. In store as a payment on our credit card once we complete the sale.
The deal only works with a two year contract. That is how the process works and was verified by Best Buy and how their sales system is set up. Samsung regional rep also confirmed that is how Best Buy is doing it.
Samsung also stated that is how it should work for everyone else, but by the way Samsung set the process up for the others, not sure how they can control that. Looks like Samsung is going to have a big cluster
fook on their hands.
So I just got back from BB and I went all through the process and everything was going perfectly AND THEN I get to the very end where they are gonna place the pre-order for my black note 4 for me and the computer would not let them do it... they told me "the system has turned off pre-orders for both the black and white note 4" I asked to speak to a manager and he said he does not know if they hit their limit or if it is a technical problem and he took my info and is going to call me back (unlikely). I cannot see how they could have hit their limit as the girl that helped me told me when I got there that they have not had many pre-orders at all and she was excited to take my order!!! I cannot believe this, I am so pissed off right now... I am going to try another more reliable BB tomorrow morning but I am afraid that the result will be the same.... ;-/ I have not heard ANYONE ELSE having THIS issue.... UNREAL...

I just checked online, and it looks like the preorders are blocked online as well now. could be they are sold out already, which is odd, because our local store has very few preorders.
I wonder if you could preorder at our store and have it moved to your local store?

It HAS to be a technical problem!!! The manager I spoke to said each store has their own separate limit so I really doubt that is the issue here... I am going to be so pissed off if I don't get in on this promotion... the girl that helped me said they literally had like NO pre-orders so far... there is NO way this is a limit issue... Hopefully I will have better luck tomorrow and I will report back..

What is your location??? I tried today at the Deptford, NJ store... I find it weird that it happened to us both on the same day at almost the same exact time... this is leading me to believe it was a system issue and not a sell-out issue... I am hopeful for better results at the Mt. Laurel, NJ store tomorrow...

I'm in Wilmington, DE. The only advantage getting from BestBuy is you get the money right away. We can get the promotion from everywhere because the promotion is run by Samsung, so I'm not sweating. I think BB stopped this globally for Verizon note 4, they removed the preorder option from the website, however, not for AT&T and others.

Verizon note 4 was never on the website for pre-order... i checked every single day for the past 3 weeks, so they did not remove anything, it was never there... and I am still betting on something wrong with the system... I am not waiting for a check from samsung that might not even come for 6-8 weeks, BB HAS TO HONOR THE ADVERTISEMENT CONSIDERING THEY ARE STILL PUTTING THAT FRIGGIN SIGN OUTSIDE EACH MORNING RIGHT NOW. I GUARANTEE YOU I GET THEM TO TAKE MY PRE ORDER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. WATCH ME.
According to a Samsung chat I had yesterday, the $200 off the note 4 with a old phone DOES work when buying note 4 at full price. Just had a chat yesterday. Best buy did tell me it had to be upgrade but straight Samsung, they said it works full retain at Best Buy.

Full price should work, with caveat
So if you check out the fine-print on the best buy preorder site (can't post the link because I'm a lurker...) it does not say you have to sign a new 2-year agreement. There IS another Best Buy site that indicates "must be eligible for upgrade," but does NOT explicitly state that you have to sign a new agreement. I'll be picking up my pre-ordered full-price (no new contract) Verizon Note 4 tomorrow around noon Eastern, and hope they don't try to insist a new contract is necessary for the $200 trade-in deal (I am eligible for an upgrade, but want to keep my unlimited data). If they do, I'll be calling my state attorney general to complain. I am not a lawyer, but the fine print published online does not indicate a new carrier agreement is necessary, nor does it point to a location where such a statement is made.

Upgrade eligibility means your line is nearing the end of its service agreement and you qualify for subsidized pricing. Both youmention are saying the same thing. The promotion requires a 2 yr agreement and trade in of any working device in the best buy trade in system. I used to work for best buy as a mobile phones sales lead on and off over the years as s part time job.
I traded in my S5 today. Got $245 for it. I paid $250 for it off of Clist 3 weeks ago and got 2 otter box cases, 64GB micro SD card and two chargers so I can sell the cases and the chargers if I want. BestBuy matched Verizon's $699 price and I got $245 off instantly for my trade-in. Walked out the door paying $494. I have mine on the Verizon Allset prepaid plan.
No upgrade or new activation here and I got the $200 off plus they matched Verizon at $699 and the manager told me to keep my trade-in. He tried to pull that BS with upgrade but he changed his mind about 5 minutes later. Out the door at $482

Oh ok. I thought somehow I may have gotten screwed.
So for those of us that just picked up the S6 (Edge or not) T-Mobile is doing a promotion this weekend. They are offering the 64gb version for the same price as the 32gb. I just picked up the 64gb Edge yesterday and figured I would call in and see what they could do for me. Turns out they gave me an $80 bill credit. So if you just picked up your phone give them a call and see if they could help you out! It's a great deal.
Any deal on the 128gb version?
I didn't see anything for the 128gb unfortunately - here's what I saw.

TMo said a big fat no to me. They said I needed to go to the store, return my phone and get a new one.

Weird - the lady I spoke to put me on hold to talk to her manager then came back and told me I would have a bill credit of $80 within 24 hours. I just checked and it's there.
Sucks were you guys older than the 14 day period?
Callback #2 got me the credit, and a $20 "inconvenience" credit. Nice!

Wtf I chatted with T-Mobile on an online chat and they said I had to do a return exchange. Can somebody guide me here?
EDIT: I have a 32 GB variant.

Probably not much they can do for you. There's no discount on the 32gb versions.
If you get to the customer loyalty department or retail support, they could help you out though.
Did any of y'all goto their website? 128gb for 64gb price.
128 for 64 GB price and 64 for 32 GB price. Anyone got their tracking numbers just yet?
I bought mine a month ago, when I found out they lowered the price for the weekend I called T-Mobile, talked to customer service, I got transferred to customer loyalty department and they said there is noting they can do about it, one of them told me to trade my 128 gb edge for credit and buy another one at the discounted price.. lol... some logic there.
So I went to their facebook page and complained last night.
I got a reply this morning from their T-Force team to msg them on facebook with more details.
After 5 mins I got the reply I needed.
""You're most welcome, Michael. I'm glad you got the S6 Edge. It's a great device. The $100 plus tax credit has been applied, and you'll see that credit impacting your current balance due by dialing #225# and send on your device any time. *JB""
So I checked my balance and sure enough, it was 108 dollars lower.
Then about 30 minutes later I get the text msg
Don't take this the wrong way - but what did you complain about? When you bought the phone a month ago you were content with the price. You were not in your buyers remorse period like some of us were when we talked to the customer service dept. Complaining on a public venue about T-Mobile not giving you money for something you bought over a month ago is kind of ridiculous.
my complain was I had another 128gb I bought from costco, i tried to unlock it and I was told they cant because even though I bought from a tmobile kiosk in costco, it was not a tmobile phone, so I sold it and lost money in the process, bought another one then a few days later they offer it for 100 less? I dont think so.
As far as the 100 dollars, really? you would if you could, so please, don't give me that, and tmobile didnt think it was ridiculous, thats why they gave me the credit.
Its like buying a 75k bmw form the dealer and a month later they drop the price 10k for a weekend, you wont care? give me a break...
Anyways, even if you are out of your buyers remorse period, make some noise and your money back, unless you are mr money bags ^^ and you dont care

Personally, I don't find it ridiculous at all. Everyone wants to try and save some money here and there. Most retailers today have price protection policies for when an item you purchased goes on sale at a later time. My mom always told me that the key to financial management was always trying to find a deal so that the extra money you save could stay in the bank to earn interest. Then again, she also said, "If you don't have anything nice to say"....

Yeah, a few days maybe. Very few companies will do this a month after purchase. Why bother having a sale if they all honored sale prices to anyone who asks over a month after the original purchase? Asking about it is fine - and I understand that completely. Posting complaints about the company for everyone to see on social media because you were told no but feel entitled to the price difference is something else all together.
