Just talked to a Costco representative who said that the Nokia Lumia 900 is likely to be there on launch day but if not, it'll be there in the first week. Price is going to be $99.99.
Why buy at Costco?
You only pay tax on the sales price (instead of paying tax on the retail value) and Costco also give you a free car charger, case and screen protector. You also get 30 days to return the phone if you don't like it for a full refund.
Not too bad to wait an extra few days if it's not available on launch day.
But AT&T will be free and Amazon for one cent. Plus I heard (see posts in the same forum) that there will be special promo in AT&T stores.
Not so sure if Costco is the best deal. Plus you have to pay for a Costco Membership.

Keep in mind that the free and one cent promos are for brand new customers. It's a great deal if any one decides to switch carriers.

Costco is selling to anyone regardless of status (new or existing customer) for $99 ?

I tried to get 710 for my wife off contract from Costco and the wouldn't even sell it to me. I doubt they would offer it for 99$ unless you are new.
That's what I thought... so if you are new subscriber AT&T and Amazon is better deal. Not that I can buy from them, but I do live close enough to the border and if there a better deal to be had, I would want to see the details. I know off contract is going to be about $450. But if Costco is selling for $99 then I would be interested. Seems to me that AT&T and Amazon are the place to buy for new subscribers.

Yeah I think they are not entirely sure until it's in store which hopefully is on April 9th.

You do need to be a Costco member to take advantage of it but if you already have it, it's pretty good.

Does Amazon still have it for 1 cent and AT&T still free for new subscribers? I tried it a few days ago and those deals didn't seem to be available. I would go that route too but I'm adding a new line to an existing AT&T family plan so I don't think those would work for me.

Apparently it's a discount applied at final checkout so the phone is free or one cent. Obviously I cannot try it because I'm not in the USA.
Best to call up AT&T or go to the store. Apparently there is also some other free stuff they are kicking in but that's not confirmed.
Just found out that Sam's Club is doing a similar deal to Costco where they only charge tax on the sales price of the phone. They don't include all the accessories that Costco does but another option if you have a membership to Sam's Club already.
so went to Best Buy yesterday to upgrade my Evo 3D to the S3. They want $199 for the upgrade but i told them i saw online it was advertised for $149 on amazon. he says they can't match amazon but radio shack is running it for $149 and he gave me the radio shack price. maybe easier just to go to radio shack and get the price there (not sure if it is an online only price though) but i prefer best buy so i can use my rewards card there. anyone else get a discount on their new phone?
Old news also ppl price matched amazon for $100
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Emperor using psycommu
Last time I asked Best Buy, they said they wouldn't match Amazon or Wirefly, since those places are done with you after the sale and BB provides "support". They have no problems matching Radio Shack, Sam's Club or any local(ish) store.
For the sake of argument, it varies from best buy to best buy. I got them to price match Amazon for the upgrade price $149. While others have gotten it for new contract $99.99. All depends on the store, sales person, and mangers.
But on their website it clearly does state they do not price match online retailers only brick and mortar stores.

I am upgrading my wife's line with $149 radio shack price match as well as a $25 gift card
Ya, and if you were smart enough at the beginning of the year Best Buy had Phone Freedom. where if you upgrade your phone anytime in 2012 they give you a $50 giftcard. With the price match and the gift card i ending up paying just over $100.
Just ordered my Note 2 from LetsTalk.com for 206.99
They have a sale on it for 229.99 until 12/31
Plus I added a coupon code at checkout for 10% off which was another -23.00
For a total of 206.99
The coupon code is: TALK4TEN
Also my upgrade isn't available until 1/1/13, but I was able to have my order placed on hold until then for the same price, just had to chat with a rep.
Amazon Wireless $149.99 with a new 2 year contract. They did had it for $99 last week.
Currently it's on backorder 1-2 weeks with amazon. That price is only for new lines, not upgrades, upgrades is still 199.99. LetsTalk has it in stock. Either way, still a much better price than through sprint.
Also no tax for a lot of states, which is a savings of another $60~ish for most states, as new lines and upgrades tend to charge the tax on the retail price of the device.

It may say backorder but amazon usually ships within 3 to 4 days, on top of that bb will price match online retailers and to me getting it locally is always better. Also I've had good experience with geek squad warranty.

I was lucky enough to have my bb price match it at 150 and then at 99 and mine was a renewal. I just got lucky they weren't strict about it.

Like its been said before, even with their expected dates being couple weeks they usually ship within couple days. Plenty of people have reported this on several forums. Plus you can always check if your local bb will price match the new price on a renewal something that a lot of bb stores have been matching.

Here is a Frys deal that I came across 169.00 for new customers or 199.99 for add a line. I will be going to Bestbuy to get the price match tomorrow. I missed the 149.00 amazon and the even better 99.00 dollar price with amazon too. Thought it would be nice to share this with folks.

I just got mine for wirefly.com for $150 on a 2yr contract
So I am up for a upgrade next week on the 18th and I really wanted to upgrade from the Skyrocket to the Note II. I want to try to find the best deal, because at the current $300 I don't think I would be able to get it. A month or so ago a couple people had luck getting Best Buy to price match the $99 Amazon Wireless price for the Note II on Sprint.. for a upgrade on AT&T. I have no idea how they got it to go through but someone even posted a copy of his receipt from Best Buy. Last week I called about 20 times trying to get a discount from AT&T customer service, since people had luck with them as well, but that failed. So I went down to Best Buy and they wouldn't do it either, even with the copy of the receipt. I just read about the $200 deal from Best Buy for the previous weekend and it sucks because people were able to get these great deals, and now that my upgrade is actually here I am going to miss out. Anyway, now that my rant is over, I was wondering if there are certain things people say or tricks that allow them to get places like Best Buy to lower prices that much and if I would be able to get a great deal next week.
Thanks.

See what the current deals are @ Radio Shack, Costco, Sams Club, etc. Bring those ads in to Best Buy and see what they will price match... if that doesn't work, show some leg.

Really.... I saw that a couple people posted about success at BB with price matching sprint but when I went in they said its for sprint and they won't price match for att. Currently there is a deal going on at BB that they give you $50 rewards points. Also RadioShack has note 2 upgrade for $200 so hopefully I can get BB to price match and then get the $50 off and get the note for $150.
But I would still like to get the $99 price match.. do you still have your receipt from when you got yours?
I got mine at Brandsmart for $249

Oh... interesting. So I'm assuming the ad was for Verizon or sprint but BB still matched?
I have a question. I am thinking to buy the Note 4 in the following manner
1) Pre-order the Note 4 on ATT website by selecting ATT Next 12 and adding a new line (this makes me eligible for a $100 credit )
2) Trade-in my old iPhone 4S at Bestbuy (value shown is around $40)
3) The difference amount i.e (200-40=160$) will be paid by Samsung ?
In this way I am having a savings of $300. Am I missing something here ? Please help
Thank You
Needs to be traded to the retailer where you're preordering
Does it state that in the fine print? Anyways AT&T is giving me 0 value for my 4S whereas bestbuy is offering me atleast 40$. So i am really confused what to do. I can't order from Bestbuy as Store pickup is required.

"Store pickup is required"??? Where are you getting your information from? When I have attempted to pre-order from Best Buy, I am told the pre-orders can only be SHIPPED to my home. There is no store pickup option. I know this because I actually prefer store pickup for my circumstances, but Best Buy will not give the option if you pre-order online. Now, if you go into a store and do it... that's another issue.

Yes. Looks like you have the proper steps as outlined here https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/
As long as Best Buy is an official trade in site...although I believe Sprint offers a little more in trade-in value. Which if it is the same Iphone 4S at AT&T listed here https://secure.sprintbuyback.com/cns/device_list...it is worth $202. Or it looks like it is worth $100 to AT&T...then you would only be waiting on $100 check from Samsung.
Best buy has a "deal" going on now.trade in any "working" smart phone get $200 on preorder note 4.
I'm on att.didn't ask if att deal only.
Preorder for $50 (get gift card to use toward perchase).minus $200 for used phone = $250 off $299 att note 4.waiting for phone to come in.
Will see if legit or just blowing smoke.ordered phone 10/19.

This is legit, traded in a prepay cheap Windows phone I had laying around and got the $200 gift card plus an extra $50 bucks for signing up in the early part of the year promising to upgrade through best buy. Put the whole gift card towards my pre-order of the nexus 9 ?
Preordered my att note 4 from best buy 10/18.picked it up 10/25 at store.put $50 down.they gave me gift card to use toward purchase.at time of p/u,I gave them a used galaxy S2(i777).they gave me $200 toward purchase of note 4.that gave me $250 toward the $299 note 4.after taxes it was $73+ I paid them.waiting to see if there is any fees beside activation thru att.this was a standard 2 year upgrade.
no trouble with my trade-in phone.
no questions asked.it turned on.they checked numbers to make sure it wasn't stolen.and that was it.I bought that phone with broke screen and bad charge port.fixed both.used couple a couple of weeks.
overall good experience.
now to see how well the note 4 does.

Go to that store,see if they are doing that deal.if so raise hell,tell them you want to return phone.get your money back go to different store.
I could only trade in 1 phone according to them.
