ALL CARRIERS!!! If you purchased your Galaxy S3 ftom Best Buy go get your $$$ - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

So bestbuy price matches right? Well radio shack has the S3 for $149.00 online as part of a extra $50 off any new phone. So as long as that offer is good for retail stores(dont see online only anyware so I assume so) Anyone who bought from bestbuy is entitled to $50 back from their 30 day price match guarantee.
If you want to see just goto Radioshacks site it's on the main page and if you click into a S3 it will say $149.99
Edit: I can now confirm personally that it works... 2 phones $175 back on price match #winning!

Just hit up my local Best Buy and got $108 and some change back from my purchase of 2 GSIIIs. Thanks again for the tip!

I got my S3 for 149.99$ because i bought the Evo 4g LTE and then exchanged phones, so the giftcard was applied to my evo's 199$ price... could i go back and have them price match to save another 50$?

Well I had some little snooty B**** not price match because none of the Radio Shacks around here have the actual phone in stock. I'm going to be calling them daily and as soon as I find one in stock, I'm running back to BB and hopefully getting the price match.
I may also try another BB or two before then, just in case they are more easy to work with.

My best buy said it's only the price for new customers and because I as an upgrade they couldn't honor the price

BestBuy in Westbury NY just issued me my refund. As i walked in I saw the MGR of the mobile department on the phone with a customers phone. He gave it back to them and customer walked out. I asked him about the radio shack promo and he said he was just on the phone with the radio shack down the block and that the promo was only for new subscribers. After i showed him the print out from the net that clearly states new line/contract or contract extention, he went on the web himself, verified and issued my refund of $54.32.
If you were that guy in the hat and a cast on your hand that left BB in Westbury, go back and claim your refund.

Looks like Costco will be selling the Xoom on Feb 24th and a little plus is that it will have a $35 mail in rebate to take care of the stupid 1 month data requirement...
Looks like I will be going to Costco on the 24th.. Great thing is Costco has a great return policy (90 days) so if price drops within that time period its definitely going back for price adjustment or just return and re buy...
Wow, I'll bet BestBuy will match the activation fee now. Let the price wars begin!
With the activation fee waved, the first month of service is manageable. Or perhaps it can be canceled within 3 days as others have speculated for a refund.

Doubtful as Best Buy cannot do anything with your bill. They might be willing to take 35 dollars off the price of the thing, but very doubtful
Is this true? If so I just jizzed in my pants. My family calls me a Costco Evangelist. I was all worried that I would have to return this tablet every 14 days at Best Buy until a wifi-only version came out.
With Costco I might keep it, or just return it once when the wifi-only version comes out. Costco is awesome, beyond their EPIC return window, they also have an almost unlimited return policy for things that stop working. I have returned things 12 months later with no problem.
Were you seriously going to return and repurchase a xoom every 14 days just so you can say you have the thing first?
I'm not sure that that's something you should openly admit to, just seems sad.

Sad, nah. Exploitive, yes. The problem is that I want a wifi-only version, but I need a tablet now. I have been needing one for a few months now, but was unhappy with all the options available. If they would do the wise thing and release the wifi-only version first or simultaneously, I wouldn't have to play games. Or if they didnt mark it up 250$

Heh, good point, my bad =)
Take this with a grain of salt but I spoke with one of the phone guys at costco on the 15th and he said they expected to have it for about $100 less than best buy and verizon just like they currently do on the galaxy tab. I tend to believe that considering marking a $500 item down to $400 is a lot bigger of a cut than knocking an $800 item down to $700 is.
I talked to my buddy at the costco (yea i work there myself). The email said they will get the live demo starting on the 22nd. It also said starting the 24th they would get the actually product. It didn't say the price though. You WILL be required to get a month of service. The rumor is about $100 less just like the samsung tab. If i get anymore info, i'll keep this updated. I'm also waiting to get it myself.
Now how about the Wifi version $100 less at $500!!! Oh, what joy that would bring!
I really want this soon, price is my only concern. They better announce the Wifi version next week and say it's coming in no more than 1-2 weeks, I've waited far too long...I can't stand it...

Went to sprint today

Went to sprint today to check on getting a mini 10 (1012) netbook, while I'm eligible to add a line I thought this could be a good idea, but I don't want to pay the additional $60 a month, so I'm going to pass on that, but heres where it gets good, well for me.
I asked my sales associate about what is going on with the premier deal, I explained everything going on with the changes, her nor the other associates had a clue about this, meaning they have never heard of the gold/ silver ordeal, not even their manager, they can only surmise that whatever changes took place are for corporate.
So I asked about my upcoming upgrade that I had originally, she said from where she stood looking at the screen, I was still eligible come june for the $150 off, even though sprint has me shown as silver now online.
Evo 3D, here I come baby.
So I feel better about my visit this morrow, but how can corporate stores be clueless on these changes?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Sounds pretty lame if they are unaware. Also have you verified that Sprint pulled your upgrade, prior to this visit ? What does your eligibility say online? Or text the word "upgrade" no commas, to 1311. You may have been one of the lucky few that never got it removed?

Online it shows I'm eligible, but only at silver, but that would mean if anything I'd only get $75 off, yet she said I'd get $150 off, maybe il check the texting and see what that says.

Store reps are idiots. Call Sprint and verify. That's the easiest way.
$75 for the one year upgrade is a drop in the bucket, might as well pay full price and wait two years ($150 + ~$100-200 instant savings + $50-$75 extension credit).
I just checked mine at it said I was eligible for a $75 upgrade on 6/1/11 with a 2 year contract...where as before (like a month ago) it said I had a $150 upgrade. I remember seeing a number somewhere for spring customer service or something that you could call and they would roll it back to your previous upgrade amount? I mean yea $75 is better than nothing but still, they jewed me on my original upgrade. And I'm supposedly a gold member.

According to the store today when I visited, they said I'll still get the $150 come june, but I guess we'll see when I go in, I'd still think I would only get $75 though.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
You're only gonna get $75 off retail bro. Unless you get the right rep on the phone to change it. Better off buying on craigslist/eBay and 10mos from then, you'll be full upgrade eligible.
I made a thread about Silver Premier Override, check it out. It might work for you, but not technically supposed to. Or you can jump to the $89mo plan and be Gold eligible in 3mos, then switch back to your old plan after upgrading.

Cpr certified, this horse will not die darnit, I will not give up.
Again I'll find out when I go back in June, not really a big deal to me, but if they claim I'm eligible, and still at $150, then great, if not $150, but $75, then again great, either way I'm happy, cause everything I've seen or have talked to says I can upgrade, what is at question is how much off though.

Sprint Premier Silver members, you still get your 1yr upgrade.

I just had a conversation with Sprint Customer Support about my upgrade.
I am considered a Sprint Premier Silver customer, 7 years service and the 1500 minute shared everything plan.
My upgrade for 1 yr on the previous premier set up came in February but I had bought an EVO off contract when my Hero died trying to save my upgrade for the new phones of the summer.
Obviously with the premier change I got borked, or at least I thought I was.
All Sprint Premier Silver customers are eligible for a one time override due to the change of plans. You do have to call into customer service and ask for it, she called it a Tier One Override and said it is a relatively new change to their policy.
I am now throwing down $50 to pre-order the EVO 3D.
If this helps you please hit the thanks button!

No, they didn't give me the $75 off, they gave me the full upgrade of $150.
Thats why I posted it for people who would be getting their upgrade if it wasnt for the policy change, they WILL let you have your full upgrade. You simply have to request it.
The customer service rep said she couldn't do anything, I asked for a supervisor. A few moments later she came back on and apologized saying there was a new policy that allowed it. Never even spoke to the supervisor. She said my account was immediately reset for an upgrade.
I have since gone to the sprint store by my house, asked them to verify, and placed a pre-order down.
I got my full $150 upgrade back as of July 1st. Does this mean I get $150 off the retail price? Also, does the 2 year upgrade reset my contract from the time I get the new phone or is it stacked on top of the year I have left?

You are signing a new 2 year agreement, it doesn't stack on top of any time remaining on your previous contract. That isn't how their early upgrade has ever worked.

Yeah Ok, so if I call sprint get my upgrade reset can I still trade in my evo for $150 with sprint?? Meaning getting my evo 3d for a very cheap price!?
Maybe I should yell more then next time I call CS as my wife's contract expires BEFORE she's eligible for the $150. See below
Your agreement with us, which started on 11/04/09, will be completed on 07/03/11.
save $75 on a new phone now,
or save $150 in 1 0 1 days on 09/01/11..
Is the discount for $150 off of the new contract Price or the retail Price?

Not for me. My family and I are on a 4 line family plan, i'm opening a 5th line to get this at the discounted price that way when my daughters line is up for upgrade (in July) I will just have her plan ported over to the new line and drop her old line so we're back down to 4. I'd rather handle this at a local store/branch just in case any issues arise.

If my local Radio Shack is offering them for $150 on preorder, I am going to req. a price match.
Thanks so much, I'll have to do this some time before release. Which no one knows... since Verizon says July 9th.

Hey guys, just got back from Best Buy. Ordered my Pebble Blue GS3
See anything interesting there?
Not for me. My family and I are on a 4 line family plan, i'm opening a 5th line to get this at the discounted price that way when my daughters line is up for upgrade (in July) I will just have her plan ported over to the new line and drop her old line so we're back down to 4. I'd rather handle this at a local store/branch just in case any issues arise.

you must have pre ordered the 16gb, since your sku is different than mine and it does not state anywhere on your pre order. also weird how it state s?

No problem....I hope, for your sake, they don't launch it that late.

Yep Yeah, that caught my eye too, but oh well, as long as I get my phone i'm good.
With Target announcing a one week delay in launch, and now Costco doing the same, I hope Best Buy still kicks it off as planned on the 21st. Anybody heard anything?
Haven't heard anything different yet. I hope we don't see any delays. I'm very anxious to get my phone lol

Same here....I called Best Buy Mobile a couple hours ago to see if they could give me an order status and maybe a solid launch date...I got neither. Oh well, I'll follow up on the 21st and go from there. I'm done wondering and worrying

$199 for the 16GB at Staples with $30 tablet coupon this weekend.

I bought mine with price matching at BestBuy this afternoon.
same. did they give you a spiel about this is an exception. that they don't normally pricematch a coupon.
YES! they refused to do it for me, and I even called afterwards and even though their site says they'll price match within the fifteen days, the guy refused to over the phone telling me that the site is obviously wrong bc they only price match at time of purchase. I was like k sure.. I'll call back tomorrow.

I ordered&picked-up then found out staples has the coupon. So I call bestbuy customer service (twice) to get a price adjustments
(also chatted once online). Got a woman then a young guy. Both sounded very rude and unprofessional, eventhough I knew enough
to talk nicely (when I need something done for me).
Sound like they don't get paid well enough to care, just getting thru the day to get paid.
I was about to get to the store and try a return/re-buy. But then staples sent me a shipping confirmation.
So that would be good 'cause I ain't want to deal with bestbuy anymore. I actually hope they improve to survive so I can have
more places to shop.
Can't fault Best Buy because Staples made a mistake by not excluding the Nexus 7 2013 and probably losing money on each with coupon.

I typically don't let myself get upset if things like this don't work because this IMO staples coupon situation is technically in the same realm as a price error - as mii7chy said, they probably lose money on each tablet sold with this coupon especially considering this is a brand new item.
Consider yourself lucky that you at least got an order through staples with the discount, there are plenty that didn't!
Squeezed my order yesterday just before they ran out of stock. I was afraid I was gonna get a cancel order but, shipping this morning

Staples refused to honor the coupon in their store. Manager said corporate sent a message out that stores can't honor the $30 discount for any nexus 7. That is BS!
I went to best buy to price match and the guy said they have been doing that all day. When he asked his supervisor to get me a nexus 7 the guy said they don't price match that offer anymore because staples refuses to honor it. This all bs!

Call your local best buy and ask first. Apparently some still are, but a lot aren't.
Best Buy wouldnt honor unless staples had inventory in my case of the 32 which they didnt. if i had 16 they would of. i went to staples to buy the 16 with coupon and the then sell the 32 but staples said the coupon excludes the new nexus 7 via few hours AGO.
oh well.. still have my 32

Same here. Depends on the store-employee. First staples I went douche kid would not take it. Went to another one and lady took coupon no questions asked. Also their website said out of stock but both stores had them (Salt lake city).

It sells pretty fast here, I bought it and the next day I log on their website, it's out of stock already...
Yay
I got the last 16gb at my local staples. They did honor the coupon(on Sunday). $199 for the new N7 is a deal I couldn't pass up.
