Guys ymmv. I was just able to order from best buy a lg g watch for $99. She said they don't normally honor apple and other carriers but they wood override it. Awesome deal!
Congrats! I am planning on stopping in to best buy, I'll try and get a price match there. Hopefully they can do it
I tried to get a price match at bedt buy using the google play store and they wouldnt. They arent prive matching black friday items.
So i bought it anyways. They said i had till january to orice match or return. I figured it get to 99 again this month. Also if i dont end up likinh it i still have a month which is nice.
Got in the car and googled it and found this post. Went back in and talked to customer service. Verizon is not a black friday deal, so they matched it.
Went back to car and redeemed the google credit and that all worked as well.
So i got the google deal basically and have the watch in my hands now.

You make sure they have your email address at checkout. Then you get the $50 offer with your receipt and a copy emailed to you.
BestBuy already has $50 Play credit for the LG G Watch and most other android wear too.
I am going to try this Verizon matching thing, but I have not yet.
Good luck to all.

Bought the white LG g watch today but would not price match Verizon due to being the black Friday holiday. I plan on going by Tuesday and doing a refund and rering with price match.

? What? Thanks man! Calling in for price adjustment!
Sent from my Verizon LG G3 using Tapatalk
Just came back from my local BB and got the last 2 in stock! Saw it was sold out online and they didn't pick up the phone since it seemed a lot of people on hold ahead of me. Saw the reddit thread that people went in the store and found some. Got a black and a white, both for the 80 bux price each and the google play credit too Time to set it up!!
Yeah calling did me no justice in getting the $20 price difference credited. They said since it's out of stock and since they already did one price adjustment, and that since I already redeemed the Google play gift card, even buying one at a store now and returning the first order wouldn't work. I'm going to call back once more tomorrow and if I get tips no ill live with it.
Now lol had I paid 149 on Thursday and not $99 I'd be livid if they didn't adjust it.
It's interesting to see on best buy that the $50 Google play egift card says it's for Google wallet. I was able initially thinking the money could be used for merchandise or maybe possibly even on Google wallet transactions. But I'm not gonna complain!

U should see if you can call and get the $20 difference credited lol. They will probably say no but still worth a try.

Back in stock on bestbuy.com! Get them while they are hot!
sold out again
Wasn't clear from reading this... will Verizon do a price refund/adjustment to match BestBuy (ordered one for $100 online Thursday)? Also, will Verizon give the $50 Google Play credit (is it Google Play and BestBuy only)?
EDIT: chatted with Verizon sales rep... they do NOT price match. they do NOT have the Google Play $50 credit. No stocking fee on accessory returns : 1-800-922-0204, they are available between 6am and 11pm.
I was lucky for my wife to get the last one at $79. Cant be happier
Groupon.com has it too for $80 but I think without a Play Store Credit

How can we find out if Google would provide the $50 Google Play credit to LG G Watch buyers from stores other than GooglePlay and BestBuy?

the $50 credit is on your receipt from best buy you have to put in a redeem code at the play store.
Just got back from the store. They price matched the 79.99. This was also already on top of my first price match of 149 to 99.
One clerk said they can't do it since its a cyber monday sale and they didn't have it in stock. I told them that it was on sale yesterday. So they tried to see if they could do it anyways and they were able to. The other clerk liked the price and is now pondering on trying to get one online if it comes back in stock.
The play store credit does have the code on the original receipt for those that were curious on how you claim it. At least how its done if you purchased in store.

Price through VZW is $249.99, assuming the website stopped being glitchy(I snagged mine for $219 on launch day). You may be qualified for a discount through your work or the New Every Two program and thus the $199 price. Long story short: It's probably $199 either way.
That's cheaper then instore id get it
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
In store is a lot more. Go with the Amazon pricing!
My price was even better. The Verizon website listed my price for the upgrade as $199, but when I got there, the rep looked up my account and said that my price was $149! Now I get special pricing through the company that I work for but if you get a discount through you company you might be pleasantly surprised like me.
Well I don't know about my work, but my line has an early upgrade which is showing it at $199, however, I have a secondary line with a full upgrade due tomorrow so as of now I can't view the price. I'm guessing it would be $149 or $199 online? Hopefully it's the same in store, I really dont wanna wait lol
Sorry to bump, but how many more people bought it in store, and what were the prices for what contracts? Also list any discounts you may have had please
Got Mine online for 199$ With upgrade and CVS Discount. In store they charge you way more fees. Also Normal price is 249.99 Plus tax (Over 300$) Online is best bet plus free 2 day shipping (Business days) I'd do online if I was you. Should come out to 250$ ish after taxes n such.
I got mine in the store. Paid 319 with a one year contract. I saw the thread about it being 199/229 and went on VZW online myself. I found the price and took a pic with my phone. Called the store and mms'd the pic the a VZW rep in the store. About 30 mins later got a email from vzw saying they refuned my card 96.00. Then a receipt followed in the next email.
I had the store match best buy's pricing on my DROID Incredible and I managed to still qualify for the mail in rebate... so at the very least if you find more competitive pricing you may want to see if they'll match in store...
I moaned and groaned about having the Droid for way too long now and having problems and spoke to a manager about possibly leaving Verizon. I ended getting the phone out the door, shipped for $49.99
Would it be better to get the thunderbolt on a 1 year or 2 year contract? If I do decide to do the one year am i going to be paying alot more than 249?
Suppose after getting my new Note from Best Buy I decide I don't like it (or that I like the one AT&T sent me more) and I return it. Do I have to return the free flip-cover too? After all, it was free...

I don't work for best buy but I can say YES you have to return the case as well. I've never seen a retail that lets you keep the free or rebate stuff if you return it.
Typically, if you keep the freebie, the retail price of the freebie is deducted from your refund amount
In some cases the item can not be returned without all packaging and freebies
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Most of the time, if Best Buy give away free stuffs with purchase, it will show as package in the receipt. You will have to return all items in the package to get full refund.
I had the same question because i also preordered the device in store. I called best buys 1-800 but they could not help me out. So i called the store i preordered the At&t Galaxy Note at and they said that once they receive the phones an email will be sent to the email address provided to the sales associate and a phone call will be placed to make an appointment to pick up the phone on Sunday. I have not received an email or phone call so maybe my store has not gotten them in stock yet or maybe they just forgot to call me. I preordered the Note on the 5th and was the first one to preorder the phone at this specific location.

Is it Sunday? Nope
Youll get a call on sunday. Or you can just be there when they open
I know its not sunday its clearly thursday...the best buy associate stated they get them early and would give me a call once stock was received. So it means that they just have not received them early...you dont have to be a jerk about it just trying to help in this forum.
Any thruth to my thoery that BB won't get the Notes until ATT starts shipping the out tonight for their pre-order customers?
As in ATT is treating BB as a "pre-order" customer (just they'll get like 5000 phones!) thus BB will start getting phones into thier stores by Friday/Sat?
It's possible IMO. And the fact that the BB website says that preorders will ship "after 2/19" leads me to believe that as well.
The BB employee where I ordered my note said they will most likely arrive in stores at 10AM on Friday, with the latest being noon. He said to call Friday morning to check.
While I haven't been into my store in the past couple of days to see any updates, GENERALLY with pre-ordered phones..Any pre-order done in store will be available in that store on release day. No other options. Now, it's true that some stores will either miss the memo or ignore the memo and sell the phones before the release date. The company has been trying to crack down on this as far as I can tell, making sure there is more information out there about release dates on these phones.
*NOTE* I have no idea how the warehouse for Best Buy's website handles the shipping. If you did an online pre-order, there is an equal chance you will receive the phone before the 19th, on the 19th, or after the 19th.

I live 5 mins away from BB, I am going to try my luck tomorrow night. I received all the accessories needed, but no phone. Killer right there.
so i ordered two phones from best buy, took advantage of the free case and the $299 price (premier was was getting $399 at ATT site) and $50.00 Best buy card for two phones.
But i also took the free shipping? saw some comments where free shipping = 5 day shipping, not overnight shipping? is this true? may have to cancel and try my luck at store.

Yeah, my order thru BB is the same, free shipping, but equates to SLOW shipping, 5 days. And thats after BB gets the phones into them.
So if you go to BB website and look at GNote it says "ships after 2/19"
So After 2/19 equals Tuesday the 21st since 20th is a holiday, 5 days later you'll get it, so by the 27th is my guess.
I actually ordered thru BB and ATT. My ATT phone JUST shipped and will arrive tomorrow.
And now I can't cancel my BB order cause I'm within 7 days of the launch date.
So I'll have to return it as soon as I get it. Unless I return the ATT phone, but will stink if I have to set up the ATT just to turn around and wipe it and do it all over again with the BB phone.
That's my fault for being inpatient!
But seriously, even if I didn't order one thru ATT, I probably can walk into BB on Sunday and get it.

It only works for upgrades and new contracts at that price. You get the normal upgrade price plus 50000 reward zone points which is enough for a $100 best buy purchase or gift card. You have to be reward zone member which is free. If you order 2 phones or more they are sent to best buy store.
Is there any downside to upgrading your phone at BB rather than Verizon? Any hidden between the lines gotcha's? Fees? Spam mail/calls? I was going to get my N2 at Verizon tomorrow but if this really is the real deal..a free $100 would be nice!

They just looked up the price online on the Aamzon Website, then matched it. Then Changed the price, but again that is with a new 2 Yr Activation. It is printed 3 times on te receipt. But I didn't get all those reward points, Just the cost of the phone. But the fine print on the website says, it is online only if I read it correctly

They said since you couldn't buy get it today on Amazon they couldn't sell today in Best Buy. I pleasantly told them that seemed wrong, they said sorry, policy, I said thanks for your time. I will probably go the Best Buy 5,000 ($100) online rewards points bonus route for purchasing the Note II at $299. Almost as good.

I contacted Best Buy (888#) and requested the $50 credit. I purchased my LG E970on 3/2/12 for $99 and was in the 15 day Price Match by one day. The rep put me on hold, came back, took down my info and said that I would get a call back letting me know the status of my credit. I was concerned that I would not hear back from BB and he said that I would get a return call within 48 hours. Needless to say, no call back so I called back and was told that BB no longer offers the Price Match on contracted cell phone as of 3/2/12. Great. I went back and read the small print details and yup, it does say that. Argh.
Going to go into store tomorrow and talk to a manager and push for the $50.00 Heck for $50.00 I would have returned the darn thing and bought it again. I can play their game too. I will add that I did not receive a call back as promised.
Did you go to an actual best buy store, or best buy Mobile? I went to the mobile store at my local mall and they price matched and gave me a $50 credit, no questions asked.

I've gotten a price match at bbm before. I think whoever he's having to put up with are just assholes.

got mine for $49 in Feb by calling ATT to price match amazon, they upped my upgrade cycle from May and I got activation fee waved as well. So 3 months early upgrade, no fee and LGOG all for under $50, really good steal.

Interesting, I called AT&T to see about getting an early upgrade (March instead of May). I was told that they could only do 30 days early. My brother had a similar convo with them about a year ago. Seems like it's luck of the draw on who you actually get on the call.

There is a "resolution" department, but you have to insist that you want to be connected to them.

Yep. Every company has one and you can generally get crazy deals by doing so.

I contacted Best Buy (888#) and requested the $50 credit. I purchased my LG E970on 3/2/12 for $99 and was in the 15 day Price Match by one day. The rep put me on hold, came back, took down my info and said that I would get a call back letting me know the status of my credit. I was concerned that I would not hear back from BB and he said that I would get a return call within 48 hours. Needless to say, no call back so I called back and was told that BB no longer offers the Price Match on contracted cell phone as of 3/2/12. Great. I went back and read the small print details and yup, it does say that. Argh.
Going to go into store tomorrow and talk to a manager and push for the $50.00 Heck for $50.00 I would have returned the darn thing and bought it again. I can play their game too. I will add that I did not receive a call back as promised.

I contacted the store that I purchased the phone from and the manager did issue me the $50 credit BUT ONLY because she didn't want an unhappy customer. She made sure to inform me that company police no longer offers price guarantee on cell phone.....yeah yeah yeah......
Ok, I don't know what happened exactly today, but technically, I got a Note III for free. Somehow. Lemme explain:
I saw the Verizon30 promo code online last week. I called customer care, and asked them to add it to my pre-order. Un-possible they said...
I was able to get customer care to add a credit to my account for $45, then they would credit me another $45 after my 2-week return period ends (to know I'm locked in to my contract)
I then got my upgrade fee waived with another $30 credit to my account, because before they offered me my $90 credit, someone in Telesales said I could get my upgrade fee waived; I took her up on her offer, but with another supervisor.
THEN, I today received my Note III at work. I couldn't open the box, because I ordered the phone in CT, but I ordered it to my job in MA, where they charged tax on the full retail price on the phone. So, I returned the phone in the Fedex box unopened without a restocking fee, and went to corporate to do the return.
I was going to just return the phone, buy a new one and be out.
Then I realized the Verizon30 code was still valid, so I did an order on my laptop in-store, and did an in-store pickup option.
The salesman was processing my order, an error came up, I don't know what was happening.
I was coming in prepared to plop down $299 + CT taxes on the phone. I walked out paying a mere $90!!!
I don't know what the hell happened. I returned the other phone, and the money was being processed to my card already, have the receipt for that. Then, they only charged me $90 for the new one....
I asked them why, they didn't understand it, maybe an error with the promo code or something, but instead of getting $90 off the phone, I payed that amount. They said I shouldn't argue with that price, I agreed, paid and left. Now, I still am getting that $90 credit on my next bill, plus the credit for the upgrade fee I payed in store today. So, technically I paid $7 in tax for the phone at the end of the day, which is nutz. :laugh:
if anyone else can explain what happened, please tell me, otherwise I'm very confused.
I only paid 175$.. don't know how either.

I got mine for 80$. I used the Verizon 30 code and they said I wasn't able to buy it for 209 so I had to get 120 in free accessories. So I just went back and returned the accessories
Same here.. I used the code and selected store pickup.. Walked in a hour later expecting to spend ~$250 all said and done... and was happy about it compared to the $350 it was going to be.
I get to the store and after playing a game of musical SIMs to get the Note 3 on my unlimited line, we come to the payment screen and he says $127.. I ask him if he was sure and we look at the break down and my unlimited was untouched and the discount charged me $90 for the phone instead of taking off $90.. Then $30 for the upgrade fee and I walked out with a Note 3 on my unlimited line for $127.
Verizon defiantly has some glitches in their system right now.. Here is to hoping they stand up for their mistakes and dont try and screw us later..
Just as a question, if they sold a phone for $90 on accident, could they then demand us to pay the rest? Or is the phone then legally ours?
Oh cool guys. I only paid $750 for mine. Lol

So with this "glitch", is this ordering online and doing an in-store pickup, or is this being done at BestBuy? How did you do it? I want to see if I can do the same.

I also only paid 90 bucks. instead of charging me 210, they took 210 off the price! im so glad i wasnt the only one who did VERIZON30 and in-store pickup, now i dont feel as guilty :silly:
Wow, this thread is incredible. I was going to wait to get my Note 3 until root was available at least. I think I'll be kicking myself if I don't jump on this deal today. Thanks for the info, guys.
I believe it has to do with the VERIZON30 code and selecting In-Store Pickup. For some reason a lot of people are getting it for $90 when they do a store pickup (at a Verizon location, not Best Buy).

Mine only gave me the option to pickup at a offical verizon store. Which I didn't like because I really like the guys at the phones plus here better than the official vzw store.
But mine said that my phone was going to be 209 online but only charged me 89.99 once I got into the store.

This is just crazy. I'll be doing this over my Lunch break in about an hour from now. I'll post back to let people know it's still valid. Wish me luck!
What is the exact code for the promo? I'll do this right now

Are you guys upgrading your line? Will this work for those wanting to buy the phone at retail price?

I think this is for subsidized pricing only.

Complain about it to csr at store. I got mine waived. But that was before I heard about this.

Did you guys have to enter in credit card info online too?
It works!
After reading through this thread at 12:00pm eastern time (I'm in NYC) I decided to pull the trigger and give it a shot. I logged in online and put the order in with the VERIZON30 code. I entered my card number and it showed the total to be ~$260. I got the confirmation e-mail and went to the store where I was able to get the last black Note 3. The rep did the standard stuff with setting up the phone and checking out but he came across an error message. He asked his associate if he had ever seen anything like that before and the other guy shook his head. Unable to figure out what had happened he proceeded with the check out and I was able to pay for the phone for only ~$130 (couldn't convince him to waive the upgrade fee but I can't complain). I'm not sure how much longer it'll be before Verizon catches on but pull the trigger now if you're definitely sure about buying it!
Same here, I only paid 128... when i pick up the phone at the store last night, they want me to sign the bill, it was only $128. I was like really. The employees there was confused too. But they didn't care.
