John Raymond: Hi, my name is John Raymond. How may I help you?

I got an email today From: "Sprint" <[email protected]>. I thought the notes were something we all want to see. The bold part is what i find the most interesting.

How to continue getting a yearly upgrade
If you got a letter sent to your house then you would know that it's quite easy to become a Gold member easily. I lost my Feb upgrade once April 1 came. After speaking to a customer service rep, I got it back. They placed notes on the account that I have an upgrade. Unfortunately the website didnt reflect that which didnt matter but it mattered to me so I had to call sales and they read the notes and they updated the website with my new elibibility date of april 1 2011. I am now on the everything plan and next month im set to be on the $89.99 plan. Although they say I'm a gold member, it wont be updated until 3 months of being on an $89.99 and over plan. Anyone can become a gold member by choosing a plan of $89.99 and over. Wait 3 months and tada you too will be a gold member and can receive a yearly upgrade. Theres always ways around it. Just get on the plan and stay for 3 months and you will be a gold member. once you get ur upgrade you can go back down and 3 months before you reach a yr of receiving ur last upgrade upgrade ur plan to become a Gold member again...lol Read the mail they sent you carefully and u can ask the rep, and they will tell you u have to stay on a plan of $89.99 or more for 3 months to be a gold member. So there is hope for those who lost their upgrade. Being that the month just started you can ask to change your plan now to $89.99 and ypu'll be a Gold member with an upgrade after 3 months.
Hello all!
Before I put it up at eBay, I ask the 100% target group ... ;-)
For sale is a HTC Mozart, original 16GB, unbranded, no net- or simlock, all updates, as good as new.
I have used it rarely (as alternative to TP2), as I am not happy with the MS phone policy, which finally made me switch to Android.
It was purchased Nov. 5th 2010, thus still under guarantee and comes in its original package with all accessories.
Of course you will get a pdf of the invoice.
Location is Graz, Austria. You can pick it up (or in Wien) or I send it anywhere in the world, if you reimburse shipping costs.
As of pricing I would suggest EUR 170,-- if you decide for prepayment on base of EU banktransfer.
If you pay using PayPal or VISA/MASTER/JCB/AMEX credit card, the price is EUR 175,-- to pay for the additional charges.
Shipping costs are additional and will be determined once I know where the buyer lives and which service he/she wants.
Please PM me, if you are interested.
Thank you!

but its good to know
Sprint Promotion: Renew Your Contract And Get Credit For A Free Month Of Service
While we're on the subject of why Sprint is the carrier to go with nowadays ($50 contract extension credit "just because," unlimited data without expensive and complicated tiers **cough Verizon cough**, great customer service, etc.), I wanted to throw yet another reason for existing Sprint customers to stick around.
Side-by-side with the $50 credit promo that I mentioned above, it turns out that the company is running a different deal in parallel that pays you for a month of free service right back to your account upon contract renewal for 2 more years. It does not affect your phone upgrade eligibility at all and is a very effective retention tool, so you can ask for it now, even if your contract still hasn't expired, get the contract renewed, then grab a new phone later). This promotion works only for primary lines, so if you're part of a family plan, only the main phone number can benefit (in contrast, the $50 credit works for any line).
Tipped by Jason in the $50 credit post, I called up Sprint to renew the contract on one of my lines and asked them about the free month instead of the $50. The CSR knew exactly what I was asking about, though she wasn't sure just how long this deal is available for.
If you're near or past your contract expiration, give Sprint a call (*2 from your handset or 1-888-211-4727 from any phone) and ask about this promotion - it can save you quite a bit of cashish.
Note: The credit applies only to the basic cost of your plan and doesn't include any fees or add-ons. For example, my $129.99 family plan ends up costing me about $170 after all add-ons. For me, only $129.99 would be refunded.
Let us know how much you end up saving and good luck!

This is true and I can add that the Sprint memo stated they were targeting customers who are within 1 to 2 months of there contract/eligibility. Then they could take advantage of their upgrade once it's reached.
Great post and good move from Sprint
thanks for posting this info
Anyone that renew their contracts on launch date and got the 75$ credit can check if we are able to get this too?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
At one point they were giving $70/line, which would add up to more than the free month thing.
Nope didn't work for me. I just called sprint and they told me they had never heard of the deal/promotion. I even called back to talk to a different rep and he said the same. Then I asked for a supervisor and he said the same. So this is the info I received. Gonna try back tomorrow and see if it works??
Locked & Loaded
Ok... i verfied that myselft and there are not free service for a month... but the good news are that i end up getting a 70 credit for renewing(AGAIN LOL).
June 21, when i ordered my phone, i came online i asked them for the renewal service credit, and they gave me 70$ dollars credit.
Then today i asked them about credits for renewing, etc, and asked them if i qualify, and they told me that i dont qualify becuase i already renew(they should said that i didnt qualify becuase they already give me the credit on June 21), and then becuase i didnt qualify i asked them about the 30 days return or cancel, and then she said she was going to talk with Supervisor for the credit and Bingo, got a 70$ credit! LOL

It's $299 - $100 Walmart E-Giftcard = $199! Great for those for a new account.

I've already read people on the Slickdeals forum for those wanting to upgrade, they just called customer service to order the phone.
Thank you! Saw this on SD and was looking for the link to it. Do you know how I would apply my company discount if I was to buy via Walmart.com? Also, any chance Walmart would waive activation fee?

You can always call Verizon customer service to apply your company discount. If your company discount includes waiving of the activation fee, they normally remove that as well. It can all be done after the fact. That's how I've handle my previous new accounts before with different carriers so I would think they would do the same. I don't think you can get Walmart to waive it but you can always try by calling their customer service number.
Just pre-ordered...thanks! :good:
Thanks. I just canceled my Verizon order and did this. BTW you can't keep your unlimited data just by checking the keep existing data option, it messes up the order and then you have to call them and chose one of the other data options. I thought it'd be worth a try though.
It says it applies to upgrades as well, but it also says "ships when available". I have a $50 credit at Verizon so I might just get it there so I know I don't have to wait several weeks.
Also, people should note that it is an eGift card, so you won't be able to use it in stores on groceries etc.
Is this just a today thing, available through cyber monday or likely throughout the holiday season?
It's a limited time thing, but you don't get the card until you are out if the 14 day exchange period. The guy I ordered from said they already have the Verizon Note 2s in their warehouse, and are waiting for launch to send them.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
Again, is limited time today? For a variety of reasons, I would rather buy on monday (I need to decide whether to upgrade or buy outright to keep unlimited data), but would do it now if the offer expires today.

I THINK a local store also had $100 gift cards with a bunch of in stock phones (including GS3) until December 1st. That doesn't mean the online site will keep this deal until then though...
You could call or email them. I'm sure they'll tell you if it's ending soon so you feel rushed to buy from them.
The $100 promotion runs until December 1st.
http://wireless.walmart.com/additionalDetailsDisplay.aspx?AdditionalDetailsID=8214
I have a $100 walmart GC so this is a perfect combo for me.
Does this one come with a sim card? I don't have my own yet and I know Verizon gives you one for free when you preorder from them.
I called my local wal-mart and they had no idea of the promotion. Can someone else call their local wal-mart and see if they know anything about this as well?
Plus it isn't really like we are getting the N2 for 199.99. It should say 299.99 + $100 eGift card.
EDIT: There is a commercial for this on the TV. I called back my local wal-mart and they said they have the same offer and that the associate I talked to earlier must've been in electronics and not in their mobile dept.
This may be an issue for some...
I was all set to jump on this deal and then read some of the terms and conditions. For those of you who are looking to upgrade another line and then move the phone over to your line in order to keep your unlimited data, you could potentially trigger a fee of up to $400 by doing so. Please see the bolded text.
Instant Savings Discounts
By accepting this Instant Savings Discount, you agree to repay $200 of this discount ($400 for smartphones, tablets, and netbooks) and authorize us to charge your credit card in repayment of this amount if, you signed up for a 2 year agreement and during the 181 days after your new equipment is activated, Verizon Wireless notifies us that the services you purchased have been suspended, disconnected, or deactivated, or if you return your purchase outside of the return and exchange provisions of our Satisfaction Guarantee.
Other than you simply deactivating a line we've activated, Verizon Wireless could notify us that you deactivated if:
You fail to pay Verizon Wireless in accordance with their terms and conditions
You transfer equipment we activate on one line to another Verizon Wireless line, even within the same account
You activate this equipment on a new line of service on Verizon Wireless and use it to replace an existing Verizon Wireless line by deactivating the existing line.
I'm guessing this won't be a problem if you transfer an eligible upgrade over to another line, since by doing such a transfer, it now ties the line that is taking the upgrade to the new data terms (e.g. removes grandfathered unlimited data). However, this is different than trying to circumvent the system and keep your unlimited data.
My fear is that this trigger doesn't happen within the 14 return period and then you are stuck with a phone on a different line than what you originally wanted.
My fear is what happens when I sell the Note2 for a different phone in 6 months. Am I going to get a $400 charge?

As long as you have kept the phone for a minimum of 181 days (approx. 6 months) you should be fine. As that is the trigger for the Instant Savings.
I decided to bite bullet by cancelling my Verizon pre-order and going for this deal, but once I ordered it they told me it was out of stock. Now I have to wait for some unknown time to even find out when my phone will be shipped. Unbelievable. I know I'm getting a $100 gift card, but it's not like Wal-Mart is the sorta place I would want to shop (with the way they treat their employees and whatnot). Eh, it's just a phone, I'll get over this. I'm just a bit irked right now.
Yes, I followed up on this since someone else in my family is interested in the N2. I am forced to buy one at VZW because I need to deactivate it and swap-lines. However, my sister does not... so I called in Wal-Mart and ordered through them since she does not really care when she gets it. The deal is this, the eGift card works both in real life and online per the rep. If you want to use these gift cards somewhere else, buy a visa gift card. They charge a fee, but pretty much you can move it elsewhere. The other issue is VZW allows you to get $50 off without activation fees (with some haggling, I've had no luck with this, but other members have) so $30 saved too. So essentially if you are up for the $50 off at vzw, you can save a whopping $20 by going to Wal-Mart. According to the rep i've talked to, they have no idea when they will ship out the phone. The phone, according to them, is in very high demand. They are awaiting stock still and have no clue when it will be shipped out from their warehouse.
On another note, I was looking at their insurance plans for phones. No deduct, covers stolen, water damage, etc... for $60 bucks for two years. Seems way better than VZW, which has a $150 deduct, and BB, which doesn't cover stolen devices.
Anyone deal with their insurance at Wal-Mart? Seems sweet, since they are such a big company they rarely fight with customers in terms of returns... so I assume this should be the least amount of hassle in covering the device?
EDIT:
here is the funny part too. you don't get the gift card right away. she said as late as feb 2013 you will get a code for it.

Hi. I recently started using Samsung pay and i did like the convenience of it. I usually use my amex card for the reward. One thing i saw in the faq was that i may not review all my amex rewards if the merchant uses third party to process sale. In general, which stores would i recieve my amex loyalty punts in. I would assume that i would recieve all points in major retailers such as walmart and best buy? If i use Samsung pay in local mom and pop stores, i probably would only recieve samsung rewards when using my amex card?
Do I still get the same benefits (for example, Membership Rewards®*points) associated with my Card when I use Samsung Pay? Can I take advantage of Amex Offers using Samsung Pay?
For purchases processed directly by the merchant, you receive all the same rewards, security and benefits and can take advantage of Amex Offers. However, please note that in some instances, purchases made with an eligible American Express Card with Samsung Pay may not receive all of the benefits, loyalty points, rewards or offers of the Card if the purchase is not processed directly by the merchant. For example, you may not receive all of the benefits, loyalty points, rewards or offers if the merchant uses a third party to facilitate in-store or in-app payments on its behalf.
