Got my Aria... - HTC Aria General

So I finally went to AT&T today to pick up my Aria. Went smoothly until I mentioned that it wasn't very clear that a mail in rebate is required to get the $130 price. Because of this, the rep gave me $100 in free accessories as well as the mail in rebate. But wait, there's more! On the receipt the phone appeared as $116.58 instead of $229. So when I send in the rebate, the phone will have cost me about $17 with $100 worth of accessories for free.
Needless to say, I am happy.

I was happy buying the phone at 130, i can only imagine how your feeling lmao

I just ordered this phone for free with a 2 year upgrade from Amazon. I am so excited for it to arrive. I wish I would of ordered it a couple days ago so I would get it now.

Similar thing happened to me when I bought mine a few weeks ago. Rang up as $129 in store so it ended up being $29 after rebate.

What store did you get yours from?
Is the mail in rebate a AT&T Promotion Card or a check?

I'll be a debit card... Mastercard or Visa, not sure. You can use it anywhere. Although honestly I'm surprised they haven't switched to basically forcing you into using it only for AT&T products.

How did you go about getting your expo?

what is the best cheapest way to get an lg expo? how did you guys get yours?
i ordered mine directly from att's website.. may not be the cheapest tho.
i heard the expo is back up on amazon.. i'd go there first
Go to amazon. I did and I am glad i did
Got mine on amazon wireless $50, tho now it is $100.
Got mine from the at&t business channel (premiere) for about $50. How? Loudly complaining after an at&t screwup deleted my upgrade eligibility. I got them to match the then current amazon deal. They sold it to me for $180 but gave me an $80 credit on my bill for that month and a $20 credit per month for the next three months.
Got mine from Amazonwireless $99.00. Missed the $50.00 gift card by a week.

Got $100 rebate, but I paid full price for my phone $530.

I am pretty sure you dont get the rebate unless you get a 1 or 2 year contract with the phone. I submitted my rebate through the verizon online rebate center and mailed away with my verizon receipt from my online purchase and the rebate form I printed online.
Was this a fluke on verizon's behalf since I paid $530 for mine and not a new contract or extension? I mailed my rebate last week and got it today. $100 rebate card!
thats not sure. u can get the mail in rebate with full price. also i ordered mine from customer service over the phone and i still got a mail in rebate form, im pretty sure I can get that also, which they gave me the instant discount already
Wait I am thinking about getting switching to Incredible from the Eris for a few reason, but is this really true? Because, at 430 plus tax that is cheaper than going the ebay route. What can the rebated card be used for, can it be just used for cash?
if you are anywhere over 12 months into your plan you can upgrade to a new 2 year plan and only pay a $20 early upgrade fee... making the phone $220 .. U upgraded my secondary line for the incredible and they keep sending me emails for an extra 50 off of another incredible to upgrade my main account early... making it $150... if you wait verizon will send you some discount soon... especially if you are a long term customer.... I'm 9 years with VZW and finally I have a phone I'm not ashamed to own
The rebate applies regardless of the price you paid. The only way it doesn't apply is if you received an instant rebate at the time of purchase. I too, paid full retail, and got my debit card yesterday. Bringing the total cost of my Incredible, after I sold my Moto Droid and accessories, to $64.00.
Where would have it the lowest price eligible for the rebate?

I could of sworn the fine print said it was only applicable to people who got a 1 or 2 year contract, not people who paid full price. When I ordered the phone full price it did not show any discount available like it does with the 1 or 2 year contract, it shows price after rebate...

That's right, because when you re-up, or do a new contract, they give you the rebate instantly. When you go the full retail route, you have to mail it in.
I also paid full price for mine 529.00 at Best Buy and they would not give me any rebate, instant or mail in. You would think paying full price they would cut us some slack
Wow thanks for the info. I had no idea I could qualify for any rebates, but mine's on it's way right now. That extra $100 will be useful for a proper battery/charger/AF that this phone shoulda been stock with!
To find out if you are eligible for a rebate, simply go here, https://www.yourwirelessrebatecenter.com/promocenter/verizonwireless/promo_search.html, and fill in the required information.
The rebate only applies to 1/2yr contracts, so if you received a rebate and paid full retail then you lucked out. The *instant* rebate only applies online, telesales (if you tell them your are having errors ordering online), or sometimes indirect stores, other wise if your order at direct store or through customer service by phone, you would recieve a *mail* in rebate. Exceptions can be made depending on the situation.
All I know is, I paid $529 for my Incredible, ordered on the VZW website, did not extend my contract, sent in the rebate, and got my $100. If people aren't interested in $100, then so be it.

Yep I just sent mine in too, sold my TP2 for $300, getting this $100 back. Overall price for the Incredible - $164. I can be happy with that lol
i must have way over paid phone after tax was 620 last one they had in stock in Vegas was on vacation and won enough to buy one now need to sell xv6800 maybe get 100 for that then total would be 420 but i won 700 of 50 dollars so win win.
Thank you guys SO MUCH for posting about this! I also paid full retail for my phone, $530 + tax, with NO contract extension, and asked the store reps specifically if I was eligible for the $100 mail in rebate, to which they said NO, and even on my receipt "(Rebate NOT Elligible)". Why I ever listen to those clowns, I do not know... they also said I was not eligible for the free 2gb memory card... eh no big loss there but still I wonder.
Anyways, I followed the link and found that I AM eligible for the $100 rebate, got the form right from that link after filling in some basic info, and will mail it off tomorrow with my UPC and copy of my receipt. I don't forsee any issue with getting my $100 card
You guys made my day, and my wife's day as well . I also was lucky enough to sell my Touch Pro 2 to a coworker for $300, plus this $100, brings my total out of pocket to ~$150... Very nice indeed for a new phone after only 6 mos!
So anyone get their rebates yet since I posted this topic?

[Q] What price did you pay and/or best price available!?

When i got the G2 last month with a partial upgrade i had to pay $350, then found out costco had them for 99$ and that people were calling 611 and making tmobile price match that and getting theirs for around $150 in the end...
I ended up returning the HTC G2 after finding out i had paid almost 3 times too much.
I just ended up calling 611 for my Mytouch HD upgrade and she marked my account at $260 for an upgrade.
Is that worth it? is costco selling it for less again? I want to snag this phone up today so ill wait a few hours and read any posts i may get.
________________________​
EDIT: After a huge debate with a customer service rep, i was able to get the phone for $149.99 + TAX, but it was harder then pulling teeth!!!!
I got mine for $150 and adde the $20 data plan. I also signed a two year contract. No upgrade fee and free shipping.
I got the family more plus plan so I wanted to put down $300 for the phone. At the end I paid $347 with 2 silicon case (20% off the cases if I got 2. So I bought one for my cousin.) and change, but I have about $182 and change left to pay.
myTouch4G (Glacier)
Hubby called retention and got it for $149.99 (matching wirefly's price) and free shipping. With the EIP, paid $30 up front, and 3x $40 for the next three months bill. This is the upgrade price (+ 2 more years of contract) which I don't mind since we like T-mo and we're on a grandfathered plan.
Should be here on Wednesday.
I got mine at Costco. $200 - $50 MIR = $149.
i got mine from tmo for 99 then a 2nd one for 149 .... which i havent opened if anyone interested lol
Got mine for 150 on a new contract... - my 30% discount (radioshack) and - the 45$ I got from tmo in commission for selling the contract... breaks down to 75+sales tax
Then in 3 months the contract gets shredded when I convert it to dealer line

I showed this to my tmobile store and they wanted my activations so they sold it to my for 79.99 and gave me a $50 T-Mobile rebate, so I never had to use my BoA card and I walked out of the store with 2 MT4G's. My gf wanted the purple one (I got the black) so I made them take the class 4 sd cards out of another black one and replace the purple's class 2.
Yes you read that right. Black ones get class 4 sandisk sd cards and the purple ones all had class 2 samsung sd cards. Not sure about the other colors.
Got mine for $149.99 thru retentions
But I wish I would have been one of the lucky to get it for $99 lol but $50 isn't something for me to get up in arms about because either way I got a deal I believe.

How much did this phone cost you?

I pre-ordered the Atrix using AT&T's web store for $320.99 after tax. I assumed the packaging would include a $100 mail in rebate since I'd see the phone advertised for $199 everywhere else.
When I got the phone, there was no rebate material in the box.
I then called AT&T and asked for the $100 rebate. They said I needed to go to an AT&T store to get the rebate. This afternoon, I went to an AT&T store and they said there is no rebate unless you buy the dock. I called AT&T again to complain and they explained I would have to return my phone and buy a new one to get the $199 price. Unfortunately, my sister threw out my packaging so it seems I now spent $320 on a $200 phone. Major bummer.
Does this seem idiotic to anyone else?
So, were any of you guys screwed in a similar way?
I wasn't upgrade eligible but the AT&T website automatically gave me the early upgrade price of $299 and also an instant online discount of $100 so I paid 217 total with taxes. I was actually ready to buy off contract for $499 but it wouldn't give me the option. I recommend you call back and try another rep. I've heard of others that have received the discount after complaining.
i never buy from att anymore, i buy from best buys. they charge you for the phone at the same price as att but without needing a rebate, plus they tax you only on that amount not on the full retail like att does.
Costco. 119.00 plus tax. They even threw in a cheap wired headset and holster.

originally quoted down to $299 over the phone for a "special" early upgrade price because I am not eligible til 2/12.
I ended up having the opportunity to port a dummy business line and have my boss pay for the pay increase. They allowed me to use the line activation to get the atrix on my line and then buy a go phone for the new line. I brought in an amazon print out for $149 and they said they couldn't match but would give me 25 off. so all in all I made out great. LOVE the phone btw. makes my crappy completely forgettable.

FREE!!!!!!!
was due for an upgrade like a year ago, my iphone crapped out on me and I had no money. Went into brandsmart and got an HTC Aria for a penny with my contract renewal, the lady didnt feel like breaking my $20 bill so I got the aria for free this past November. When the atrix came out my next upgrade wasnt till 2012, but when I looked at it on att website it was giving it to me for $200, so I ordered it. I then sold my HTC Aria on ebay and recouped my $200 thus making the Atrix free. this phone is incredible!!!!! couldnt be happier!!!
Always check best buy first no matter who u use. Usually any mail in rebates any carrier gives u will be an instant rebate at best buy.

Wow this has been a pretty enlightening threat. I've learned to never pre-order and just buy from Costco instead.
My debacle was resolved last night. I found my packaging in the trash at home and brought it to a local AT&T corporate store. They said I had to return the phone and buy a new one in order to get my $100+ back. All told it was a pretty ridiculous process but at least I ended up buying it for $199 eventually. Also, now i have another Atrix I need to root and setup to my liking. Oh well.

$149 from local AT&T store. Wasn't upgrade eligible yet, but they agreed to allow early upgrade and price match local retailers, and Radio Shack was running them at $149. AT&T website had them at $199 at the time.
$106.49, tax included, on launch day (Feb 22) at an AT&T store.
Had a 100 dollar off upgrade on one of the lines of my family plan.
540 USD (include tax) at AT&T-Miami store (No contract).
Costco: $119+tax.
Went back a week later to get a new Atrix (old one was messed up) and saw that they had it for $99. I got $20 back on my CC. In the end:
$99+tax. (Costco price for upgrade or new line).
One billion dollars

Price reduced to $299

The price of the Galaxy Note 4 has been reduced online to $299, from $349.
I had already pre-ordered at $349. I called about a refund of the $49, and I was told to call back when I received the device, and I would be given a $50 credit on my account at that time.

Hopefully Best Buy will follow suit and the final price on delivery will be $299..then take off a $200 trade-in...woo hoo!
Good to know, thanks. Never would have thought to check the price after I ordered the phone. Will call when I get it and ask for the same 50 bucks.
I just got off the phone with sprint. They are not making me cancel my order and reorder. They said they will credit my credit card the difference paid when I activate the new phone.

I called order processing and asked for the $50 dollar refund on Saturday. The girl put me on hold for a while and then came back and said she would apply the $50 to my account. A half hour later I got a text saying the refund had been applied, checked and it was there. I am on SERO I don't if this made the difference.

Something strange is happening to me on sprint.com. I try to do a pre-order, getting to the last part where I would charge my CC. but my total is $300 with only .65 cents in taxes. I'm in California and it should be $64. I already have an in-store pre-order and traded it my device in, but I am now pulling my hair why at sprint.com i'm not getting charge taxes.... 2yr renewal price!

Best buy has there own trade in program, it's different from the Samsung promo. You get a 200$ bb gift card for any working smart phone, and they say *any* smart phone, no 10$ minimum like Samsung promo. My friend is turning in an old Treo.
Also the Samsung promo will not be honored if note 4 purchased at best buy.
