Price match galaxy nexus

ok so i ready to jump from sprint to verizon for the first time after 5 years with sprint, cant take there slow speed around my town anymore,
anyways whats the best price match i can do in whatever store with the lowest price, been searching online etc and only see walmart being the lowest, 249,
but does price match can be used with an online price or i have to bring a catalog with me never done this before?
please help i got a budget for 250 for my christmas gift and this is it , lol
play with one and its sick as phone and verizon speeds aaround here is fasssttt...
cant do the amazon price or letstalk its to backorder lol.

I bought mine at Best Buy, they did price match Radio Shack's $239 online price. The only reason I bought at Best Buy was I had $100 gift card.

I got mine at verizonwireless.com for 250, but i think although I did an early upgrade i still got a instant discount of 50.00.

Does Amazon still have the $150 for new accounts?
Cause that's where you should go.

Got mine from fry's electronics for $150. I had them price match amazon.

Best buy matched amazon's price $150 but still had to pay full price tax (about $50)

you lucked out there. normally if a BB manager is around they'll say "we only match stores prices. not online"...
if that ever happens you just say 'thank you' and either go to another BB or try again when said manager isn't around.

Best price for a ET4G on Sprint upgrade? Anything lower than $150?

Best price for a ET4G on Sprint upgrade? Anything lower than $150?
My sister is eligible for an upgrade, she loves my ET4G so I was looking to get her one. Wirefly/Amazon both show $79 for new contract or $150 for upgrades. Anyone know anything better than $150? Damn I paid $100 when it first came out! Thanks.
Sorry for double post, I got to buy her the phone in less than 48 hours! Thanks!

Amazon Wireless has it for 79.99, I tried to post the link but I'm too much of a noob to be allowed yet.

Go to target.com and find it on there website. Its 99 bucks go to best buy they are price matching till January 20 th. Boom epic 4g for 99. Its 79 on amazon but you have to wait bestbuy you get it that day. I got two epic last week from best buy for 99 each

Here is the link you couldnt post. Ill be taking this deal to get my mom this phone

You guys know that at target its $99.99 with new line but $150 with an upgrade right? And amazon is $79.99 with a new line, but $150 with an upgrade. Its pretty much $150 everywhere for upgrades.

Look for Wirefly 10% online coupon code just used it 5 days ago.

If you trade in ANY working phone (not just smart phones) to radio shack you can get it for 100 bucks.

WAAAH! How long have these prices been going on for? I paid $199.99 about a month or so ago for an upgrade

Thanks for all the replies, but I already know abt the $79 amazon deal. I need to UPGRADE an existing sprint line that is eligible for discounted upgrade - i dont need to sign up a new phone number or line. So the amazon price/wirefly price is $150 for upgrades. Regarding radio shack, do you know if that $100 price is for upgrades as well?

I believe the $79.99 deal at Amazon is only for new customers, not upgrading. If you are upgrading then it is $149.99
Ill be getting it for $79.99 next week

I got mine on the 26th from Sprint.
They were having a deal (25th-31st) if your upgrade was near that they would upgrade you sooner and I got my et4g for $126.00 with the trade in of my evo.
By far this phone is immaculate but I think I just got my first problem with it.
The vibrate is making a super weird noise that it really shouldn't be making.
Hope you find a good deal for it!

Sprint will give you $90 (as a credit to your bill) for your old HTC EVO, even if you don;t buy a phone through them.

You'd do better to sell it on fleabay.
I sold mine for $200.

Unfortunately I already traded it in and got my ET4G. :/

My Target has the upgrade for $99 as well (I'm near Seattle). Don't know if it's like that everywhere, but it is here. They've also been out of stock since Christmas so I went to Best Buy and although they're supposed to call and verify availability, they didn't! Also, Best Buy has better insurance than Sprint, 10 bucks a month and no deductible! Also, if you can get it at Target, they have a better trade in program. Best Buy was only going to give me $30 for a brand new Vibrant, Radio Shack was $65, but Target was $90! Still going to sell it elsewhere, but it's good info to have!

[Q] What is the best deal for Note 2

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.

I called AT&T customer service (several times) & talked to them about what a great customer I was & I was able to get it for $199 (the week of release!) They even waived all activation fees, & over nite shipping! There is a thread here about it if you do a search! (that is how I got the idea!)

I got ours from best buy for like $230 and found online for $99 thru sprint and best buy matched!

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

Amazon Wireless has it for $199 with an upgrade or new contract. That's where I got mine.

I am going tomorrow to finally get it from Best Buy.. I'm going to get them to price match radio shack and they seem to be having some deal where they give you $50 dollar credit.. so hopefully I will be able to get both those things and get if for $150.
How were you able to get it for $139 from Best Buy?..

Oh... interesting. So I'm assuming the ad was for Verizon or sprint but BB still matched?

Cheapest UPGRADE price

I'm looking to get best buy to match the cheapest UPGRADE price I can found. Anyone found anything cheaper than $199.99?

just take your phone in with the newline price already loaded on the page. i doubt they will check in to it too much.
they pricematched me for 149 on an upgrade that clearly said new line on the ad. the guy didnt care. i went back in two weeks later with a new print out showing 99 bucks and they refunded 50 dollars to my credit card.

Austin got lucky. I just left BB about an hour ago activating 2 new Note 2's and they price matched Amazon at the $199.99 but they pulled it up on their own computers. I tried to show them my phone but said they had it. Plus they informed me that this is the last month that they will be price matching cellphones. Don't know how true, but both the girls at the station made sure they let me know.

Re: [Q] Cheapest UPGRADE price
I brought in a print out of the web page with a time stamp on the bottom. They were able to price match my phone. This is a hit or miss thing tho. I knew the supervisor of the mobile department and he explained to me that its at the discretion of the supervisor. He also said the reason why some bestbuys would not price match was because of the extra cancelation fees some sites have. Not sure why it would make a difference but thats what he told me.
Edit: got it for $169

I heard the same thing, but it is actually the 30-day price guarantee that they are doing away with. I paid $199 for mine. Radio shack has the best price for new, $169.00.

Re: [Q] Cheapest UPGRADE price
Best buy by my house is full of **** went in there with the printed ad and they said they couldn't pricematch it cuz amazons price had expired in Nov of 2012 and he showed me on the screen at Nov 2012 date but that was the day the phone came out!! I didn't complain though cuz I was trying to trick them into giving it to me for the new line price on a upgrade lol but you gotta be stern with them cuz they will try to get out of it

$200 Off Of The Note 4

This link is legit, I called Samsung to confirm it- https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/

I wonder if it still works if you're on the next program?

Yeah, I wonder as well. I think that it's probably an AT&T question though.

Its not actually $200 off, its a guaranteed $200 trade-in for any working phone. Sure, it mathematically comes out the same in the end, but without a phone to trade, you don't get the $200.

It says in there "come back on 10/10 for the trade in", it still works until then.

I'm a bit confused. What are the participating retailers?
Where exactly can we trade in our old smartphones?

does it include blackberry curve as a smartphone? thats my question.

..

Something new on the promotion site from the last time I saw it; Best Buy customers go in-store to redeem instantly. Also in the fine print it states Best Buy customers do not need to submit the form, so it looks like we can get it from Best Buy without the inconvenience of waiting 6-8 weeks for the rebate check.

Can you apply the BB gift card to the note 4 purchase if you are buying it outright?

Best Buy has their own trade in promotion that gives you an instant $200 gift card when buying a Note 4.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-galaxy-note-4-128435

So I went to Best Buy and asked one of their phone guys, about this. He said that basically you pre-order the phone (if you do it online it has to be for in store pick up, which is not available yet on their website). Then when you come into the store to pick up the phone, you can bring in any other working smart phone. Cannot have damage to it. And they need the battery and charger with it too. They will give you a 200$ credit/gift card. That can be used towards the purchase price of the phone. They will apparently let you buy the phone outright too, which I have had issues, doing with them in the past. But now with the mobile share value plans and Next and all it looks like they may have changed their tune about that finaly.
Interesting thing is that it looks like their price is 25$ cheaper than AT&T.

Wait. Any working phone? Could I get 200 for my old captivate?
Edit: aww... I just saw the details. Kinda a pain.

Thank god I decided to look on XDA before pre ordering!
FYI giftcardgranny.com (or similar site) will give you approximately 90% value of the gift card in cash.
I'm trading in an old 3gs

I have hear 2 different answers from Bestbuy on if the promo can be for off contract purchase or not.
