PSA: Moto X 16 GB drops to $99 on Contract from AT&T (Updated) - Moto X General

The Moto X (16GB) just dropped to $99 on contract (upgrade or new signing) at Best Buy. For AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/07/moto-x-drops-to-99-at-best-buy-with-new-contract/
Decisions, decisions.
UPDATE:
Moto X drops to $99 on contract with AT&T for 16 GB and $149 for 32GB (this includes Moto Maker)
http://gigaom.com/2013/10/25/customized-moto-x-price-drops-to-99-on-contract/

yep. went in last night for a price adjustment. =)

Question is, will the 32GB on Verizon next month be $150? If so, i would definitely be willing to give up the customization from motomaker.

Moto maker is rumored to come to Verizon November 11th. I don't have the link but Google it for now.

Right that is what I was referencing. I'm hoping best buy will have the lower price on the 32GB version when it comes out then.

After browsing BestBuy and Amazon, it appears neither offer the 32GB. Is it only available on Motorola's site or in the AT&T store? (I assume therefore will only be available in the Verizon store once it's out for them)
If so, I may just go ahead and snag up the cheap one at best buy. I can live with 16GB for over a $100 savings.

For those not in the know. There is a Motorola trade up program right now where moto will give 100 back for people who have older Motorola phones

Could mean a free moto X if your interested.

The 32gb is only available through moto maker. The stores or Att directly doesn't offer the 32gb. I thought about selling my 16 and buying a 32gb but like you said it's over 100 bucks in savings to just get a 16gb version.

Yeah, I think for $150 in savings I can make do with 16GB.

I bought the phone from them a few days ago and they refunded me the difference. The best Android phone available at the moment and now it's half as much.

according to http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/10/10/moto-maker-tipped-bring-moto-x-customization-best-buy/ BestBuy will have motomaker booths. I hope that this means customization and 32 GB options with the BestBuy discount. I will surely pull the trigger then

Looks like the sale is over The verizon30 code still works on Verizon's site, so I think I'm gonna pull the trigger at snag it for $139.99 unless anyone else here knows of a better deal? My problem is, my billing period ends this Sunday (I'm switching from Sprint to Verizon) and I don't really want to hold off that long. Amazon does have it for $99, but back ordered 1-3 weeks. Not to mention, I may be adding other family to my plan in the next 30 days so that might be hard to do if Amazon has an additional contract prohibiting change of the plan.

updated with new offering from ATT

Well, looks like Motorola is not honoring any type of partial refund/price matching for Moto Maker devices. I purchased a device directly from Motorola (through Moto Maker) on Friday of last week. After calling this morning multiple times and asking about processing a partial refund for the difference in price, I was told that "prices are subject to change" and always offered a $100 Motorola online coupon good for 30 days and only valid on select accessories.
Needless to say, I was a bit miffed! I guess I'll just have to try processing a price guarentee through AMEX and see what happens.

Amazon currently has the Moto X for $.01 for new customers and those family plans that wish to add a line on ATT.

Took my HD back that I got from BB for $199 and got the Max HD for $175 (family line upgrade) when AW had it marked down also. BB priced with no problems. Higher cost phone for less money. Win/Win
Just got back from BBY as well as they price matched amazon on upgrade and new line so ended up getting 2 MAXX, one for me and the wife.
One thing I noticed though was that they charged us tax as if we bought the phone at full price and they said this was normal, is that true? I have purchased iphones before on discount at apple store and they only charged me tax based on how much I paid. This is in California if that makes a difference.

Yes I have see that before. I think it has to due with the way the " Instant rebate is handled"
I bought my phone at best buy for $249 ($299 - $50 instant giftcard for upgrading through them). Yesterday I saw that Amazon had the MAXX HD for $174.99, Best Buy price matched - all I had to do was bring my receipt in. When I got home, I realized that they refunded me too much money (the refunded me the difference in tax) so I ended up getting the phone for $120 out the door. I feel a bit guilty but oh well. I've spent thousands of dollars there over the last few years.

Bought mine a week ago. BB matched the then $199 amazon price. Went back in on Sunday and they matched the $149 price. Competition is great for consumers.
Where was it priced for $149? I looked on Amazon today and its $199

$599 shipped New Egg till 11/27

With used N7100s selling for over $600 on Ebay and a dearth of them on the closing marketplace here, I think it will be awhile for prices to drop into the $500-$550 range. I pulled the trigger on one. New Egg has a 30 day return policy and ships quickly. I buy all my PC building parts from them.
Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 Titanium Gray 3G Unlocked Cell Phone w/ 5.5" Super AMOLED Touch Screen / Bluetooth 4.0
$30 off w/ promo code EMCYTZT2557, ends 11/27
And then you go to pay, and they say the device may be manually unlocked with scratches...
I didn't order, and bought for 550$ from eBay.

The N7100 does not have to be "manually unlocked"
That is for US carrier phones that need to be PHYSICALLY unlocked! LOL Its a disclaimer that does not apply to already factory unlocked phones. and with a 14 day no questions asked return policy, there is not much risk taking here. NewEgg is a very reputable online store.
The only phone on Ebay for $550 was or is a used white one missing accessories. I did not see any new devices selling for $550. I would have bought it if it was a US company.
ALL unlocked phone sellers should have that disclaimer.

There was a black friday deal on ebay for a BRAND NEW Galaxy Note 2. for $550. They sold 1,000.
see if this link works for you, its an expired listing now. but u might still be able to view it.

I think newegg.com extended the sale to 11/27/2012
I purchased mine from Newegg, beginning of November when they had it on sale for $589. It was brand new in the box and runs SWEET!

I jumped on the $49 with rebate Tmobile deal. TMobile screwed up soooo badly that online orders got canceled and my phone order didn't get processed till after the deal was closed in their system. So as result they manually gave the deal, $49 and I do not have to do the mail in rebate. So not bad, I can get the phone for $49 + $200 etf + $63 for the month of service. Wish I had ordered 3 more.

I am sure and in January maybe $500 LOL At some point I had to jump. Anything less than used pricing was good enough. $550 would have been great. But My Note is on Ebay now and that would be worth less as the Note II goes down so it's a wash going forward. But yeah $550 would have been sweet considering the used ones are selling for new prices on Ebay. Crazy! I am curious what my blemished Note will bring. Its at $290 I had a BIN price pf $350 with 32GB SD Card. But that's gone with the first bid. 5 day auction so it won't be active until later this week.

$50 Bestbuy gift card

Go here: http://tinyurl.com/d3eczlq by 2-9-13 to reserve your gift card. Activate a new phone between 2-10-13 & 12-31-13 to receive the gift card. Good in store or online.
Checked best buy website, they did what I expected. The note 2 price bumped up to $250 from $200 so the gift card offer is useless since amazon has it for $200 or less.
May still benefit other phones, I didn't check them.

That may be true, but how long can they keep these prices up for? They're bound to go down by the end of this year, which is fine since the promotion lasts that long.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If you signed up for the deal then call your local best buy and ask if they'll price match amazon wireless and give you the gift card. I just got off the phone with a store by me and they said I can get both. So I'll be picking up a note 2 next week on upgrade for $150+tax. Maybe less since the amazon price keeps changing. Its $69 right now for a new customer.

That could be a sweet deal. Bestbuy price matches and is offering a $50 break on sprint phones. $149 at bestbuy would probably be the best deal sround.
From what I understand best buy won't give you a gift card if they price match it.
But it's worth a shot and the BestBuy deal was today only.

I was lucky. When I went in to pre order in Oct BB was out of their allotment for pre order at $299 and a $200 gift card. Once the GN4 was released they of course had none. I checked the website several times a day and the very last day for the $200 gift card (nov 1st) in stock! So I ended up with one for $165 and change out the door. Whew. Luv'n this phone.
According to the website Amazon has it for $268.00 not $199.00
