Any tip? Did someone can share his experience in their country (if it was very easy to do from outside, like contacting a bank from outside, opening an account, etc?)
The problem you will be facing is that you will not pass identity verification unless you provide your real contact details - if you do this from an unsupported country you will not be accepted, and if you do this from a supported country where you do not currently reside you will not be accepted.
The workaround would be to register a business in a supported country (a LLC in the US for example) and register your marketplace account using the company rather than you as a person. If you do go down this route you'll have a pretty hefty startup cost as you'll need agents and forwarding addresses setup. On the plus side there are businesses that will sort everything out for you (from registering the business, to receiving your ITIN and organizing a bankaccount with debit/credit-cards).

How is that at all relevant to this thread?
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

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.

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.
Welp, can't say I'm surprised, but I just got a denied letter with the explanation:
"I am sorry, your purchase date on the receipt submitted does not match the rebate period."
I used the receipt that was given to me during the online order phase with Sprint and it has the date in the upper left hand corner, and the Pre-Order clearly circled.
The funny part is they tell me to read the "Terms and Conditions" as to why I got denied, however if you read the "Terms and Conditions" it clearly states:
"A Participant who chooses to submit his/her receipts online must first
print his/her name on the original register receipt, sign and date the receipt,
and then follow the on-screen prompts to upload a photograph of the original
register receipts showing both the trade-in value and device pre-order,
respectively"
I did exactly all of that and still got denied. Now I get to mail them in my documents, wait another 2-3 weeks, just to get denied again most likely. Should have known this would be a scam.
Wanting to here of any success/denied stories from others.
Thats unfortunate and disheartening. I'll update if I get the same

:laugh: You didn't think this would be a cake walk did you. Just curious when did you pre-order was it before October 16th tell them but you guaranteed me up to 200$ well 6-8 weeks for a rebate check is crazy hope things workout for you
The promotion is being handled poorly and I'm sure there will be plenty of casualties as a result. One of my deciding factors to buy the Note was this promotion so best believe I'll raise high hell once it's my turn to bat. Best of luck in a resolution.

I received the exact same reason why my rebate was not approved. I preordered my note 4 on 10/14/14 online with Sprint and uploaded a picture of order confirmation email, circled my preorder amount, printed my name on in it and signed and dated it. Apparently it wasn't good enough for approval. WTF? My email clearly states that the preorder was on 10/14.
I contacted prizelogic customer support via email last night and haven't heard back. I will probably resubmit everything thru the mail but I was hoping I could get it resolved via email first. I have no faith that it will get miraculously approved after resubmitting thru the mail. All this will do is drag out the process and then I'm sure they will "deny" it because it will end up being after the required submittal date of 11/30.
This sucks. I haven't gotten any notice back yet but I hope mine works out. I pre ordered through Amazon and traded in a phone to Amazon. Let's see...
Can you guys at least fight it? Or they won't change their mind?
Thats crazy
I mailed in all my docs and I just got me approve email yesterday(after I sent an email to CS asking have they received it). I hope you guys can appeal it or something....

Did you guys submit your trade in receipt with the shipping label? Or did you wait for your trade in to be accepted before submitting?? I'm still waiting for my trade in to be accepted and some kind of receipt before I submit everything...

Yes, I did include my trade in receipt. I uploaded everything thru their webpage.
I got a response to my email last night that my rebate was approved. Whew. I was sweating it.
I sent the email thru the "customer support" link on the email I received saying I was initially denied. I included my confirmation number in my email. Maybe give that a shot and hopefully they will approve your rebate quicker than sending the docs thru the mail.

Glad to hear they finally approve it I sold my Note 3 on Swappa but good idea for others to know
I have NOT been successful yet, First, I forgot to print and sign my name on the receipts as well as circle the pre-order date and trade-in amount so it was denied for both phones I tried to submit. The problem I have now is I'm trying to re-submit the receipts but I can't use the same email address and when I try my work email I get an error saying I've entered the wrong IMEI or HEX MEID or WIFI MAC address. In the back of my mind, I knew this was going to be a real pain in the rear - like most of us here, I'm always looking to save or recoup a few bucks. Sorry for the rant, I'm just frustrated that now I most likely will have to mail everything in.

It took a few minutes, but once it was approved, when I went to the store it told me it was available to use for the purchase.
I did not have to add it as a payment option.
I also had called synchrony, they gave me the number over the phone, and told me it was available for use right away.

Sounds like Google's site doesn't see the account at all!
are you by chance using a different email for synchony than your google store account ?
Google and Synchrony can't seem to figure it out. They don't have any idea why my Gmail account isn't showing my credit card from them. They are escalating the issue higher up to see if they can find out where it went wrong.
At least the phone I want is still out of stock!(I was trying to pre-order on the 4th too, been almost 10 days). [emoji35]

I am not same email I just chatted with Google and they don't even see my application or account at all. So I am going to contact Synchrony and see if they can fix that otherwise the Google rep told me to reapply?
I went for the Google Financing option for my pre-order of a 32gb at Project Fi.
But I haven't gotten any communication from the credit card company Google is using.
What is ya'll experience?
I went to use it to buy a Chromecast but the option wasn't there.
My experience: ordered 32gb silver xl through synchrony in 10/13. On 10/14, got email that 128gb was in stock. Canceled 32gb and ordered 128gb silver. Card was being declined so had to call synchrony. They said there was a hold on it as they wanted to confirm the purchase for the 128gb since the price was higher. Confirmed it. Hour later, got an automated call to confirm the purchase again. So all in all 2 contacts.
Google store does not show my card. I also have not setup my account with synchrony online or anything. Also not showing anything in payments.google.com. However orders page shows cancelled 32gb and preordered 128gb. shipping est Nov 23ish. Also got all the emails for everything.

Quick questions:
1. Is it possible to get the monthly payments billed to an existing credit card?
2. did you all just sign up at check out of your order to get the financing option?
3. should I being applying for the Google financing while waiting for the variant I want to come back in stock (to avoid possible chance of it going out of stock again during the application process)?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
1. Maybe? But it would go through synchrony. Unless you just buy it with credit card.
2. Signed up during checkout
3. Signed up while phone was on backorder and trying to get order in. Ended up signing up the day before I actually ordered. When I actually ordered, store credit was an option.
Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk
Just wanted to let everyone know that my issue was my wife was signed in to my email when she never uses my PC. So I applied for the financing under her Gmail account!
I felt really dumb for not checking that but she never uses my computer so that is why I never thought of it.
So, all is resolved on my end. So the problem is now that the Pixel XL is on back order I just ordered from Verizon and will be receiving it tomorrow! (I wanted to get from Google for the unlocked bootloader) but the phone will have everything I want(I want root for adaway mainly).
Thanks for all the replies.
I received my Pixel XL yesterday but have yet to be charged for it?
I did the Google Financing.
Haven't gotten any email or snail mail from the card company.
Nothing at all.
And payments.google.com only shows my debit card being charged tax for the purchase.
No other payments.
Am I getting a free phone or is it looking this way for you guys too?
I can't even log into the card company's website because I have no clue what my card number might be, since I have not received any communication from them?

You should have received a letter in the mail with your Google financing card. I received mine about a week after pre-ordering. I can see the charge on my card and I just received an email notifying me that my payment is due Nov 15.

And if I go to payments.google.com and click on "Payment Methods", it shows my debit card, paypal account, Google Play balance.... but no financing/credit card info.
My payments.google.com page.
None of this is from Google Financing or their card company.

I received my Pixel XL yesterday but have yet to be charged for it?
I did the Google Financing.
Haven't gotten any email or snail mail from the card company.
Nothing at all.
And payments.google.com only shows my debit card being charged tax for the purchase.
No other payments.
Am I getting a free phone or is it looking this way for you guys too?
I can't even log into the card company's website because I have no clue what my card number might be, since I have not received any communication from them?

Exact thing is happening to me. Had Google finance send the bill to my business and nothing has come in. I already have a credit account with the same bank that Google finance goes thru (Synchrony Bank) and they don't see any payments due.
Wow.
Did you order, then cancel, and then order again? I did. Two days apart.
Maybe they're just trying to catch up on things still.

I received the card in the mail about a week after ordering and I registered with Sycrhrony. When Pixel XL shipped there was a hold pending but when I received phone 4 days later did not pay attention.
I did not get a text from bank for the charge so checked again and noticed the first pending was still there but maybe expired since most pending are proceed in 2 days and there was another pending charge for the day I received phone and available credit matched one charge.
Just checked now and there are no pending and full available credit. I do know Google had problems at the beginning processing some orders with the bank and ordered were cancelled. Maybe they still have some bugs to work out with the bank. I doubt we will get free phones because Google has the finance account info and could verify with the bank about the charges. Just might take a little time.

I first tried to apply for the Google financing but after that it told me I had to contact Synchrony Bank to finish the approval. I called them immediately and within 5 minutes was approved. I then tried to check out on the Google Store but it didn't show my credit. So I called the Google Store number and they helped me over the phone to apply my financing to my Google account which took about 10 minutes. I then proceeded to check out with no issues but have not received anything from them about the financing since. I ordered the Quite Black 32gb Pixel XL from Google directly within about 3 hours after they started pre-orders.
I just activated my Project Fi.
And now it *looks* like Google is just adding my $32 Pixel monthly payment onto my Project Fi bill. So I'm being billed for the $769 instead of having it on some kind of credit card. Interesting.
I have yet to ever receive any communication from Google's credit card company (Synchrony) nor has my credit report reported anything on it.
Cool.
My credit is untouched.
Works for me I guess.

I preordered the phone using Google Financing. I NEVER received anything in the mail for it. I checked my bill which is due on the 20th and it says I owe $0.00 for the month. It does have my total charges on there though.
I chatted with synchrony about this just yesterday, as online it say a payment is due 11/20/16, however it is listed as $0.00.
Rep told me, bill is actually due 12/20/16, and I will definitely receive a paper bill in the mail (I did not enroll in electronic statements/billing).
The actual phone charge was posted to my acct. 11/07/16, and is reflected in my available credit limit.
I ordered my Pixel XL with Google Financing. But when my order shipped, Google charged my debit card $968.67! My order status still shows Google Financing as the payment method. I'm currently exchanging emails with Google Support trying to get the charge reversed.
Hi,
Same here, got phone with google financing. No contact or billing that I have seen anywhere??
The bank site I went to needs my account number to register but I don't know what my account number is???
Google wallet has the charge listed but only last 4 numbers of account.

I purchased my pixel XL through the Google store via financing by Google (synchrony). During my purchase I asked them if this could be combined with my project fi service bill, they said they could not just in case I decided to suspend my project fi service. I got my phone, and didn't receive any email or letter about billing for a month. Finally I received what looked like a credit card from google, and soon after an email from synchrony asking me to register my card and account.
The link it provided me was to "credit.syf.com" (don't try and visit and do this before you get the email or you might screw something up. I visited the link, registered my card, it showed my original limit of 1000, minus the 900 I spent at the Google store.
It said my bill was 0.00 for about another month, then finally changed and got updated.
Now when I visit, it shows how much I owe, my credit limit, my payment date, etc etc.
That's just me telling you all how my experience went. Essentially, wait till you get your physical card from google/synchrony in the mail, then register the card at the link provided in your email.
