[Q] How much did you pay for your Fuze?

I'm thinking of jumping on the wagon and was wondering if you guys would kindly share how much you paid for your Fuze, I have been asking several stores and even with premier account the price is 299.99 after rebate with 2yr contract (plus some upgrade fee and of course sales tax) in total would be close to 400.
Please let me know if and how you could get it for less than what I was quoted for. And is there any official statements from AT&T that lists benefits of having premier account?
Thanks

I was 269 out the door with a 50 mail in rebate i think he messed up (I am not premier that I know of)
http://mangledpoly.com/fuzePrice.jpg

i started a new 2 year contract, was leaving tmo for att.
its 369.99 if you get it bundled with the car charger, case, bluetooth headset, and maybe some more trinkets i don't remember.
then its 349.99 if you leave all that off.
then -50 with the text or data or something like that rebates...

he definitely messed up...but good for you though~
also, i got it for ~440 aftertax before mail-in rebate. I was only able to get an "early upgrade" with $75 off retail price. Manager was nice enough to waive the $18 upgrade fee for me though. Every bit counts

Bah. Lucky dude who's rep marked it down $100. Where do you live? lol
I was unlucky =/ tax was a lil over 8%!!! :O
Came out to $391 before rebate T.T I'm a return it and see if I can buy it from a city that has less tax.

Baught it online @ Premier for $388 Including $18 upgrade fee..I also think tax came around to $24.
Shipping was Fedex 2day for free. Doubt I will get it this week though.

really!? gas is going to cost you more than that tax difference, unless you live near border of WA and OR, then i'd see a reason to do that.

Mine was $367 shipped from AT&T Premier site. There was no upgrade fee, and then I have the $50 rebate to add to it. Bought it this morning, it shipped out this afternoon - comes in on Thursday!! I waited over 2 months to upgrade my phone as I wanted this, or the Sony X1. I couldn't wait any longer, so I gave into this phone. I can't wait.

I think a ~1-1.5% difference would make me drive. Besides, if it's in the way to work, it doesn't matter right?

Mine was $259.99 before the $50.00 MIR. I went into a corporate store in Kansas City Area, and was told they were discounting it $100.00. I asked why and was told: "I am not sure, perhaps revenue or longevity". I didn't ask any more questions and certainly didn't want them to reconsider.

AT&T Authorized Dealer...
Hey all,
I stopped by on Monday afternoon at an AT&T authorized dealer in Pembroke Pines, FL (South Florida). They had the only gotten in one fuze that afternoon which they sold me.
They charged me $300 plus tax, so it was $318 total, plus the $50 rebate when I send it in.
Not quite as good as $269 before rebate, but I didn't want to say otherwise either when they quoted me that price.

mine came out to 387 after taxes and now i gotta mail off the $50 rebate

I paid 349.99 + 24.15 tax = 374.14 - 50.00 rebate = 324.14
I want the 100.00 discount some of you got. I wonder if I call and complain if they will credit me? I love complaining.

just ordered mine about 2hrs ago off the at&t wireless website.
$374.49 w/ 2yr agreement ( contract renewal )
kept my unlimited data plan and unlimited txt.

Yep ordered it about 6pm est. Hopefully it gets here friday. I guess that's dependent on when it's shipped also.

I just re-uped my account and purchased the Fuze for $299 online befor rebate. Total came to $327. I'm not really worried about the rebate at this point. Just received the tracking info and it will be here Thursday the 13th.

Fuze Pricing

What is good price to pay for a Fuze on eBay? I am up for an upgrade from AT&T in January. I was thinking of buying a Fuze on eBay now and then once I get my discounted Fuze, list that on eBay and make up the difference. What do you guys think?

I'd call ATT and get an early upgrade. You may not even have to pay the early upg. free if you play your cards right. I am not technically eligible until Sept. 09 and I got the promo pricing after a couple (4) of calls. GL!

I just told them my current phone was not working properly anymore and was out of warranty and that I did not have money to buy a new phone without a contract upgrade and they let me upgrade when I was supposed to wait until Jan.

lol, I posted my adventure in the release date thread. I didn't really say much, actually. THEY told me that I could get an upgrade and after the back and forth, they made good on their offer. Still don't know how I managed to escape the fees. Get creative and schmooze the tele-sales rep.
Ya get more bees with honey, as they say.

$349.99 before $50 MIR
No tax yay

Amazon has it for $174.99 for new customers and upgrades

My contract isn't up until feb, but I went to an ATT store and was able to get the upgrade pricing. All I really had to do was sign up for a data plan (for atleast 6 months) which I was planning to anyways. Just go in to an ATT store.

Bah. Ghey. I was all excited to buy from amazon. Blah. I'm just go through this process.
1. Add a line. Get fuze for $250 before $50 rebate
2. Remove old line after it ends (week or so)
3. Transfer old line's number to new line.
4. Outcome comes to:
Fuze: $250
Activation: $30
Tax: $30
Number exchange: $10
total: $320 ($270 after rebate)
Difference from when i bought in store: $350 - $270 = $80 saved I'm doing it. I would use the 80 bux for something else.

Cheapest out of contract price?

Just sold my iPhone a good hefty amount Wheres the best place to get out of contract pricing? 400 isnt much, but I've heard of people getting it for 300? Anyone know where?
Also, my two year ends 02/26/2011, do I qualify for the upgrade pricing from Costco which is 79.99 or do I have to wait until that date?
Alex

Yeah, go to Costco and ask them if you qualify for the early upgrade right now. If not, wait until the 26th... its a great price. ($79) I tried yesterday but they turned me down for an early upgrade, told me to go to the corporate store, and I can get it there. Try your luck!

Would love to know where I can buy one online at a reasonable price with no service contract.
att.com don't sell them without a service contract so that is out

AT&T stores have it retailed for 399.99 without commitment. They probably need more than a few in stock to sell it to you but that's the cheapest I have seen.

Just got mine today from ATT off contract $399 seems to be the cheapest right now anywhere. Seems kinda odd that they wouldn't sell u one.

Seen eBay prices as low as $320. Could probably dip below $300 in a week. I trust eBay more than say, small obscure handset websites, because I've never had a problem bidding on a phone and getting what I wanted in a timely manner, but when it came to an actual online retailer, they would give me the run-around on shipping or send me a defective product.

sometimes http://www.wirefly.com has good deals on early upgrades.

Just got mine at BB for 324 plus tax. That was no contract price.

I got a pretty good early upgrade yesterday.
I have 2 lines, 1 shows ready for upgrade and the other addon line shows eligible on 4/24/11. Contract is up in August.
I went to a corporate store and they said 99 for the normal upgrade and 399 for the other.
I went home and called customer service and got the same story.
I then asked them what charges I would have if I cancel my account early.
They told me and after a couple of min. they gave me the retention rep.
Ended up getting 2 new Inspires, free shipping, for 79.99 each!

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

Att store used an early upgrade for a non data enabled line for us and it was $300 and put on the data enabled line for me, but then i gave it to my wife. THEN the data stopped working for her line and we had to call and explain because there was something that needed to be enabled on her line for the 4g phone, EVEN though att was out of the 4g cards. So we have to go back to the store to get the 4g card i was supposed to get, but going to get for her line now.
Untill i buy another one. Maybe today. But that will probably be the full 400 price. Ill check bestbuy store see if its cheaper

Great price for the G2X at Costco !!!

Hey guys, the G2X is now here, and guess what - I just got mine today from Costco.
The price was $149 after $50 mail-in rebate. For an upgrade. And it came with everything that comes from t-mo, but it also came with an extra car charger, leather pouch, and a bluetooth device. It was a great surprise for me, and if you are waiting for the right moment to get the G2X - now would be a good time.
Go to your local costco and get that badboy!

Dang and i ordered it the day it came out. Why didnt i wait lol. Jk.

If you want to get it off contract - its the same price in costco as it is in T-Mobile store. Your best bet is to go and look for it in craigslist, as they do have good deals sometimes. But if its over 500 - dont buy it, just get a new one for a few more bucks, and you will know that if something happens - you can return.

Wow, they list it as $399 retail but no option to purchase online for retail...

I knew I should of waited to go to costco.. stupid impulse buy..

You could have upgraded with a 2 year contract, then just paid the ETF and you'd still have it cheaper ~$400 ...

I called Costco yesterday and the guy said that they won't be getting the phone for a couple of weeks! I guess he doesn't know what he's talking about.
oh and btw, costco will not sell the phone off contract. your better off just getting it at tmo

Got mine yesterday at a T-Mo store.
They discounted the phone to $450 and gave me $95 in accessories for $65.
$515 plus tax.
Even More Plus, no sweat.

I am a Costco Manager so hopefully I can shed some truths.
1. Wireless advocate our subcontract company (owned by CarToys WA) is stocking the g2x. Stores should have received an initial shipment of 5 phones yesterday and another 5 today. If they claim they dont have phone, ask them to check stock. I bet its in receiving dock area.
2. The phone is available to non-contract customers for $399.99. The issue is that the employees do not get a commission for non contract sales. So many times they will refuse to sell full price for a couple weeks so they can get there spiffs. HOWEVER Costco is customers are always first. If you demand, go find an acutual Costco manager and have them assist you with Kiosk personal. That brings me to point 3.
3. Be prepared if in a state that has sales tax to pay tax on full $399.99 This is our policy unless you buy online at Costco.com. But you can use this to your advatage if buying full price and they refuse. Say well than how come upgrade customers have to pay tax on full price. Remind them you know that they are required by Costco to sell Tmobile phones at full price. No other brands in Costco Cell kiosk are sold to non contract. Only Tmobile and that is why the full tax issue. You just need to push and you can get it full price.
4. Best thing is you are protected for 90 days with your phone. You can return, exchange phone for any reason. I use my first phone as a test phone. I test the hell out of it and return for keeper phone before the 90 days is out. Plus if a better phone comes out I get that. Love the 90 days!
Hope this helps!

If you have a premier account, they give you the "$100 off promotion" which brings the phone down from that $299 price to the standard $199. As explained here in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247597
I just pre ordered through an actual store and paid the $199 price.

Okay, can someone explain to me what exactly is the advantage of AT&T premier? It seems that I have it (discount from my place of work), but from everything I've seen, the GS4 is still the same price as in store...?
Maybe I'm missing something..

I get about a 22% discount on my service each month and you get a discount on all accessories and some phones. You usually don't get much of a discount on a phone that has just been released.

Gotcha. Thanks. Yeah, it looks like I'm getting a 15% discount which is alright. I was also told by 611 that I get free overnight shipping on all orders via Premier. Not sure if that's 100% true or not because I've always done my shopping at the corp store anyway.

Just contacted Premier CS. I had to upgrade my plan code. Everything works now. Waiting impatiently for my S4. How much could I get for me S3 on the black market?

I got mine for 179.00 I think because I have been a premier member for a while maybe its a credit, I just got my phone yesterday. Its nice and thin but holy moly is it loaded with crap. Cant wait to root this thing!!!!

Weird, I had no such issues with mine when I ordered premier. I preordered 4/16 and got it 4/24. Great phone so far btw. Can't wait for root to clear out the crap on it though.

I ordered mine on the 24th and had an issue with the checkout button sending me to an error page at the very last step. When I restarted the process, it had changed my plan details from "550 minutes" to "Add a line" (my phone is a second line). This reduced the cost to less than the $35 dollar minimum or whatever that the $100 instant off requires.
I cleared my cookies in another browser and restarted the process. I was able to get through that time without an issue and it had reverted back to the "550 minutes" so I got the $100 off.
I did have to choose a "new" data plan though I was still able to select Unlimited Personal Data Plan for 4G LTE Smartphones (what I had previously). The code changed from LTEDPPBVM to LDPPBVM5 or something like that. Probably just a coding change internally.
I do get free overnight shipping with Premier, I don't know if this is the case for everyone. My phone shipped yesterday and is out for delivery today.

im on the phone now with them when i said $299 they guy was taken back a little bit and said that didnt sound right and he was also amazed that i got the phone 1 day after ordering, dont call the sales department tho i called them and have waited 20min to get transfered to internet department
long story short you need to upgrade your plan and they wont help me with any discounts because i have the old plan grandfathered in with unlimited data

Mine came in yesterday. I paid $174.99 and ordered over the phone with the premier dept. I've had better luck over the phone on prices. They seem to be able to "bend the rules" a little more.
