at&t offers a discounted monthly bill

i know people are aware that at&t offers discounts via college's and/or employer's..but if those options aren't available to you, you can still get a discount!!
for new customers:
10% off monthly recurring charges
Waived Activation Fee
Free Shipping, and
Heavily discounted handsets
for already existing customers:
10% off monthly recurring charges
Waived upgrade fees (weekends)
Discounted handsets (for upgrades)
Free Shipping
to get the discount:
google student rate and go to their site.
their wireless promos are on the front page (you can't miss it).
go through them and you can obtain a discount phone & monthly bill!!

is there any way to go to an at&t location and still apply the discount via student rate?

Most carriers offer something for a lot of companies/schools. Just ask.
I've even heard people getting discounts over the phone just by asking nicely even if they don't qualify.
I have 25% with Sprint..

I get a 15% "discount" for being a union member.

Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

"Please send us an email at [email protected] with the following information: your first and last name, your AT&T mobile number, the last 4 digits of your social security number and your billing zip code and we will migrate your account to apply the discount to your bill. Please specify in the email if you would like us to forward you the confirmation."
Sounds fishy..
Can people confirm this is legit and isn't gonna screw me?

That doesn't seem very legit. I'd go into a store directly and ask for a student discount. The rep I talked to the other day said he didn't know if it counted for community colleges, but he said it did count for uni. Probably you just need a .edu email and then it's good, but yeah, ask.

i applied with student rate myself and i would call them for your own security and reassurance for yourself.
also check out their website. it's legit. but once again, check it out for yourself and see what your thoughts are on it.
just google studentrate
hope this helps!!

it's better than not having a discount at all.
it's worth a try.

I apply discounts for customers all day and never have I ever seen that before.
Try your luck here with your employee/school email.

I hope you know that they could easily sabotage your AT&T account and steal your identity with just that little piece of information that they asked for.

student rate offers a ton of discounts, not just cell phone deals.
it's a pretty good site to get a variety of deals.
great source.

my school gives 10% and the paperwork is lengthy..
i went through student rate and it was just easier.
i've purchased through them before so i'm comfortable.
i haven't heard anything bad about them. just read reviews.

I just called customer service and they said that they don't offer student plans...but then again...it was customer service. Hahaha.

i believe in order to get the discount you have to do it on student rate's website. they have a promo code or a link.

It depends if your school has a bsuiness account with AT&T or not.

you can apply them to a family plan but they limit you on the amount of lines that get the discount.
for anyone who cannot obtain a discount from their school or work.. it's better than nothing. right?

50 Dollars off 3 Chrome OS Devices

Hey guys,
First off i'm sorry if this isn't allowed or anything but because I'm a student I have this offer from Amazon and I'm not going to use it so I thought I would pass it on.
These are the three eligible products. http://goo.gl/cUY3v
If your interested post in this thread. I will not respond to PM's about this. Its first come first serve.
P.s I will handle this like any normal marketplace transaction except for a few differences.
You pay the Paypal fees and shipping from me to you. (It's required to be shipped to my address)
I'm asking for that because I'm doing this to help a person save some money and I'm not losing any.
For The Moderators
If this is against the rules by ANY means please send me a message or post in here, or just lock it.

Isn't this just a coupon because I see the offer and i'm able to use it as well

For me it says it's a student offer only and I gotta wait 48 hours after confirming my student account before the coupon even shows up. (in process now) lol

Hmm, maybe it shows up because I used that 6 month Student Prime Account offer about 10 months ago, or maybe because I'm a Prime Member still

Free $25 Dollar Credit for HTC One Owners

Hey guys! Just saw this in the news! Its free $25 dollar credit at Google Play for buying the HTC One. Redeem it before July 15th!
http://us.htc.com/googleplay/

FYI It's for US owners only (and even then for a very short and specific purchase window.)
While supplies last. Void where prohibited by law. Offer valid only on new HTC One devices purchased and activated in the U.S. between 6/14/13 – 7/15/13. You must register your device at www.htc.com/us/googleplay/redeem by 7/15/2013. Limit one registration per email account. Codes will be delivered to registered email address within 2-4 weeks of registration. Information may be subject to validation. Google Play store credits must be redeemed by 11/30/2013 and may be subject to a later expiration date.

Unfortunately, the site says that its for purchases after June 14th. However, it still took my information and doesn't ask for it in the sign up page, so I tried it anyways. Will post what the email response from HTC will be. Hopefully, this will be useful for new purchasers. Thanks!
EDIT. Thanks for adding that info @snachez.

I work for AT&T. They only open it to the top 2 credit classes. That sucks man. If you pay your bill before the due date 6 months in a row that will help open that option for you. I opened a new line and did the next option at the store. I hope to get the phone soon since im close to the ft. Worth warehouse.

Some questions...
Premier (corporate or discount through work) account or standard?
How did your order your N3? Brand new account? New line on an existing account? If an upgrade on an existing contracted line was it: A) $299 for a two-year contract renewal, B) no change to commitment via AT&T Next, or C) no change to commitment purchased at full retail?
I'm only asking to see if AT&T's prioritizing shipments based on type of account or type of service/upgrade.

For the unwashed, here's the definition of EMO. AT&T shipping to employees before the official launch date might explain jcoello getting his order so far ahead of the "10//1" published shipping target. We'll see if any of us mere mortals get an early ship date.
The AT&T E.M.O offers eligible AT&T active managers attractive discounts on wireless products and services on up to two lines* of service.
The discounts include the following:*50 percent off select consumer voice plans*50 percent off select unlimited consumer data features (Messaging Unlimited, Family Messaging Unlimited, MEdia Net Unlimited, MEdia Max Unlimited, Blackberry Personal, PDA Persbhonal)30 percent off select wireless accessoriesNew activations will be eligible for standard consumer device pricing (1 yr or 2 yr commitment).For upgrades, standard consumer device pricing will also apply; however, you must meet upgrade eligibility requirements.​

When I did my HTC One I got mine day of launch. I can tell you for absolute certain we do not get preferencial treatment on equipment. Either its a typo or by some miracle i will be a proud owner of a Note 3 weeks early. I hope its the latter but the many years of preorders this is a first for me. Never seen this happen before but highly acceptable if its true

Paypal Chargeback on a Swapp.com sale

So I sold a Galaxy S5 on swappa.com two months ago for $585.
I shipped the S5 via USPS Priority (with tracking number) to an address in Florida.
Low and behold, two months later, completely out of the blue, Paypal just subtracted $585 from my Paypal account, so now it's in the negative.
Seems the buyer initiated a "Unauthorized Payment Chargeback".
I've submitted my tracking # and Swappa.com sale ID to Paypal and they are "reviewing the claim". But some quick Googling says I'm probably about to lose $585 when Paypal deducts it from my checking account.
I called my Credit Union and they need form after form after form and a $30 fee to block PayPal and the form can't be submitted until AFTER Paypal takes the funds from my checking account. And then there is no guarantee it'll work?!?
And the Paypal website won't let me remove my checking account from my Paypal account. So if they decide against me, which it sounds like they might, then I'll be screwed.
Just a warning to you guys.
I wanted a quick sale and did not research the buyer before shipping the item. That was my bad.

I don't get it. Why was the charge reversed? Maybe it was a hi-jacked account that was used. That happened to me years ago. The money just magically vanished right out of my bank account. Nobody could tell me how or why. Had to figure it out for myself. Unreal.

Yeah, I guess.
What I don't get is why do WE get dinged for this.
It wasn't US who mishandled the buyers charge account.
So wtf. Paypal or Credit Card companies are the ones who should eat the charge.

Yeah I know. The sellers always get screwed.

I'm afraid you're going to have to just use this as a $585 lesson on why you should NEVER use Paypal for anything. I don't have a checking account OR a credit card linked to my PP account.
Edit: I thought Swappa was a broker, of sorts. Don't they get hold the funds till the buyer receives the phone?
Edit2: Call AT&T and Tmo and report the MEID as stolen?

Honestly, i think paypal will rule in your favor. From personal experience of this happening to me on ebay; generally providing paypal with the proof of shipment is enough. Granted, it takes a couple weeks for them to get their stuff together, but just wanted to let you know.
Good luck

hi
in my experience if your tracking number show the item was delivered for the address that confirmed on paypal for the buyer at least ( city, state and zipcode ) match then even chargeback will be end up in your favor . but if the address was unconfirmed on paypal then ya they could decided it against you .

Forgot about this thread!
Yeah, they ruled in my favor after holding my account hostage for two weeks. Thanks guys.

Congratulations on the ruling. And just for that guy being a ****, and trying to scam you, I'd still report it as stolen. But that's just me.
