[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

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

New customers
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?

On the first page DirtyShroomz, who works for Sprint retentions I believe, mentioned that their checking socials before applying discounts

What exactly is the social sec # being checked against? To see if it's an existing account?

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.

$25 app card w/ Purchase of a Gen 2 WP7 In the US

https://windowsphone.promo.eprize.com/redemptionprogram/:b=ie10/
Offer good only in the 50 United States, District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. You must purchase a new phone between November 2nd and December 31st 2011 to qualify

Thanks. I'll take $25 to go with the penny I spent on a Titan.

just says new phone nothing about second gen in terms and conditions so I bet if you never registered an existing wp7 device for some of the other eprize promos that were out you could probably redeem this as well even if you had an older device or if you grabbed a first gen device recently.

IMEI can tell a lot, which they ask for. You are probably correct that it does not have to be a 2nd gen device, but I doubt you could get by with any phone purchased outside of the promotion window.
On a side note, I bought my phone with one number but plan on using it for another, so which phone number would I use for the offer?

just went through the whole redemption thing, you can in fact use ANY wp so long as you have proof of purchase in the promo date range, you can also do 5 phones per address

This promotion is a pain. You have to enter a bunch of information and take pictures of your receipt and box. Then you finally finish and they tell you a card with a code on it will come in the mail if you're approved. They don't say when, so like mail in rebates, it will probably take two months. Wish they would just credit your account directly instead of snail mailing you a code to enter that credits your account lol.

Rebates are great.
Most people don't go through the work to actually cash in, so companies can afford to give more back with a rebate than they could by just discounting or in this case giving.
I've heard through pretty reliable marketing sources that only about 50% of rebates or less actually get filled out. So, the estimated cost to the company is only about $12.50 per device. So, if the rebate was automatic, that is what you would get or less.
By taking 2 months, they also can verify that you didn't just return your phone, since most carriers give you some time to try it
10 minutes of work. Get $25.00 in 2 months. Not too bad of a deal.

I think I still did better with my first gen Verizon HTC Trophy.
Verizon had a promo giving a free Xbox 360 game, I got Halo Reach (still going for $59.99 in the stores when I got it) and my phone had an issue, so I sent it back and got a new replacement. All they wanted was my ESN for a game. I also got Kinect Sports too(for the 2nd phone) $39.99 in the store at the time.
$25 or $100ish of 360 games...Hmmmm
I think I did all right... (by the way, My phone was an insurance replacement for my HTC TP2, my deductable was only $50)
They pretty much paid me to take the Trophy and No contract of any type.
Gota love it...

I got my confirmation from Citi that I'll receive my card in 7-10 days! I was concerned because the phone number I use with my phone (also the one I registered for the card with) is not the number I bought the phone with and is on the receipt.

Got my card in the mail today. Was a simple process and only took a week to get my card. I even totally forgot that it was headed my way, so I was surprised when I got an envelope from Windows Phone. lol

Why is it only US which gets all these offers??

Question about the $100 Rebate on AT&T

Wasn't AT&T offering a separate $100 rebate to NEW subscribers before Nokia started offering their own $100 credit towards the Lumia 900? I'm gonna go ask today but I was wondering since I'm a new customer would I still qualify for that first rebate?

I some regions there were different rebate offers. I saw the phone listed as 199 with a 100 rebate. Others saw the same thing as only 99 with no rebate.
So, it all depends on where you actually were when you saw it....

The way I understand it is that a rebate has no bearing on the credit. Whatever price you paid for your phone after rebates, etc is the price. The $100 credit is for the data connectivity issue alone.
Example, you paid $99.00 on Amazon after rebate, you still get $100 credit on your ATT bill. Don't confuse the two.
Hope it helps.

Yea this is exactly what the rep told me. The rebate from AT&T makes the phone 99$ and then the Nokia credit makes it free...although they don't tell you it's an immediate discount, it actually applies to your first bill. You still have to pay for the phone that day.

I paid 20 for it on amazon. I confirmed that I will get 100 dollar credit. So ATT is paying me 80 dollars with this phone....awesomeness

That's awesome. I got the phone for $50 from a New England corporate store, so wondering if I will be getting the full $100... sounds good so far..
But on the other hand.. I think I am returning the phone to go back to Android... I wonder if they will remove the credit?

I bought 3 of them at my local AT&T store and was offered a $100 bill credit as well as $100 in free accessories for each phone.

I got my phone on the 21st without knowing about the $100 credit. I got the phone from best buy mobile and I got a $50
Instant rebate so after the credit I'll be up!!!! Awesomeness
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

FYI, $100 credit now showed up on my AT&T account. I bought the phone 4/9.

Same. I preordered and bought my wifes on launch day and both were credited a day ago.

Can you please tell me where do you see this credit? My first month's balance was due 4 days ago (haven't paid it yet since I have a few days before my 30 days expire and I get to decide whether to keep or return the phone). That balance definitely doesn't show any kind of adjustment because of the credit.

Check your online account from att or call 611 to check your latest account balance.

If you have a Lumia 900 you should have the myAT&T app. Login with that and it will show you your balance in the opening screen. Mine is $ (100.00). In other words negative one hundred dollars. I bought my phone about ten days ago.

My credits (3 of them) showed up on my account already. Bought the phones about a week and a half ago.

Got mine too, but again, I wonder what will happen when I return the phone next week?

Oh and just an FYI, both phones got a text a few hours apart stating the credit was forthcoming but could take up to 60 days so I dunno if you will get it until you get the text?!

I never received a text message regarding the credit, but it is already on my account.

I have had my phone for 3 weeks and have no credit showing on my account, should I be concerned?

in this last 3 weeks, did you have your bill generated? For me the CSR said it might come on this bill or next bill. But I would call them and confirm.

Scammed by UK MOBILE STORE, help required

Hi guys,
I require here some assistance dealing with this online seller
Ordered the desktop and the card dock on their website on 22nd Feb (£108.35 GBP) with paypal
After the update of my order (because items were not in stock) I asked for a refund on 24th Feb
Got an answer they will send it "soon"
Asked again for refund on 28th feb
No answer
Asked again on 15th Apr
Answer on 15th Apr: items will be on stock on 20 Apr
Asked for refund again on 15th
On 16th Apr, I asked again how is the refund process going on
Got this answer : "I have already passed your details to accounts for refund to be made"
On 17th May, I emailed them again and contacted paypal
Same day : I got this answer : "We will have the product in stock on 22nd and we will send it out via DHL"
Asked again for refund the 18th May
No answer and no refund done.
My question is, I think I'm not in the delay to get the refund via paypal, what can I do now ?
How can I advertise their customer service to have some more pressure ?
Any help appreciated.
Regards
T'

open a paypal dispute?

Open a ticket with PayPal, and be firm with them. Threaten to contact the appropriate authorities if no refund is made within 24 hours.

Since I worked in credit card billing disputes I will lend my experience. I believe your time frame to dispute with paypal may be passed but call them anyway and open a dispute on an unreceived item if you can. If that doesn't pan out, go to your credit card company and do the same thing. The seller will have to provide proof of delivery in order to win the dispute. Hopefully you used a credit card to pay cause I don't know how other payments are disputed.

As mentioned above, file with PP anyways, they still might be able to help.
Have all your communications been done by email? If so, try calling. Those types of emails are likely "hot potatoes" and no one wants to deal with them. Talk to a "real person" and you'll likely have a much better chance of making them sympathetic to your situation.

Paypal dispute has ended after 45 day, and paypal do stick to the rules, unless you made payment with a credit card company, there is nothing you can do, but since the credit card payment was made to paypal, i'm not sure if the credit card company can do anything, maybe eqjunkie829 can answer this.
The local authorities is your best bet.

Yeah I thought that paypal dispute was 45 days but wasn't sure. Anyways get a dispute started immediately don't wait, you are on a time limitation for disputing with credit card and time is only on the merchants favor. After 180 days at the credit card I worked at, the merchant isn't even required to respond and you will not get anything if they don't.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Dispute the charge with your credit card company. I had a similar situation and was also outside the 45 day limit with PayPal. If you didn't receive the item then you are within your rights to get your money back.
Your credit card company will send the dispute notice to pay pal who will then start a conflict with the seller.

Thank you all for advices,
As mentioned, the dispute I opened with pp was closed (because I was out of the 45 days limit)

Never had this kind of problem before (after 12+ years of buying stuff online)

Thanks for letting me know, I wasn't too sure about this because the credit card company made payment to paypal and not to the seller, so the credit card company can't direct the dispute to the seller.

Take our advice, forget about the online store, If they are really sincere to do something, it would of happened a few months back, don't waste time, go direct to the credit card company and end this.

what happened next? did you get refund?

How to get up to $100 credit on your Sprint bill !

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.
I also posted a thread here:

Even if you already picked up your N2, give it a shot.
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.

Doesn't work for me and I've been with Sprint for 15 years.

I tried with my Moto Bionic and they only wanted like 50-something dollars for it!

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 called and got a "network save" applied to my account. $50 off my bill for the next 4 months.
*though I do have an EDRP account, which may be the difference there

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.

Always select the option to cancel service, big tip right there.

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.
