Best Buy Price Refund

Best Buy has dropped the Infuse price to $149. I went in today and got my $50 dollar credit. Don't wait, as the refund can only be obtained within the return period.

It may be $129 tomorrow (Memorial Day) on Amazon for upgrades. Maybe cheaper for new customers. Check it tomorrow. If it is $129, I will probably pull the trigger.

Crap. Sucks that I went through AT&T about 5 days ago. Paid $199.

Went and got my refund today. Used half of it to buy a case that finally came in.

I did the same thing but they are offering new lines and new customers the infuse for $99 so I called and complained. They ended up giving me a $100 credit on my bill so I basically paid $99...

Infused(personal)

i got mine from best buy on friday for $130 on an upgrade. i knew they price matched so i went in thinking i could get it that day for $179 for matching amazons price and not have to wait for shipping but they guy started checking around on his own and told me about the walmart price and hooked me up with that.
now i'm just riding out the return period waiting to see if they'll announce the release of the gs2 before the time runs out.

Where do you see the $99 for a new two year? Did you speak to any customer service rep?

I want to know if this 100 adjustment worked for more that one person and what was said and what kind of rep/dept it was

As a new customer for AT&T you are able to use an online promotion that takes $100 off almost any phone as long as you order online. I tried it for the Infuse and it works, but since we're already customers we don't have access to any $100 off promotion. I didn't buy my phone at AT&T so I can't try getting $100 back.

So I called them today to complain about feeling as though I was "slapped in the face" as a loyal customer (been with bellsouth/ATT wireless since 1997). After a little interrogation and some hemming & hawing she gave me the $100 credit (105.42 to be exact). This phone rocks pretty hard with a $100 price tag...lol. I'm glad more of you have called and done the same thing. While I understand the importance of marketing to obtain new business, current customers should not be left out in the cold. ;-)

Spoke to two reps this morning both said no. One regular rep, another was the online rep. The online rep said I should just return my current unused Infuse, cancel the order and line, and re-order a new one for the $99 price since I'm under my 30 days. Made an note of it as well.
I'd loose the activation fee and have to pay another. Any idea's?

Ask for the retention dept, be adamant about the online price and tell them you want the credit. When I called I told them my brother just order the same phone online and got it for 99, the Rep said she couldn't do anything so I asked for a supervisor. He is the one that authorized the credit. Trust me if it comes down to losing a contracted $79 month customer over a $100 credit they will give you a "one time courtesy" credit. You just need to be persistent...

Lucky me. Got sensation for free

I walked in to bestbuy to price match from target. $100 and they said they would. They brought over their manager. Boom! Phone was given for $1 along with $10 insurance and $20 buy back program. So I walked out with only paying $30 plus tax. It's almost too good
to be true. But my girl is jealous. Lol

If you're in the USA, Target online has it for $99. And I believe Costco has it for a good price as well. There's some threads about it in the forum somewhere.

Got mine completely free thru the web only promotion that T-mo ran a couple of weeks ago.

Congrats, mate.

AT&T Infuse for $450

Guys, if you were on the fence about buying, at full price, an Infuse, AT&T is listing them for $450 online and in-store. That means stores like Best Buy have to sell them the same price through their price-matching policy.

Best buy will only price match if they are selling it for that price at an AT&T store. If it's an online only deal they won't match it.

Are you kidding me? I did post in the General forum that i dropped my phone a couple of days ago and ask any feedbacks from anyone who dropped their phone and fixed it. But everyone told me that if i try fixing it, its best to get a new one. Thats why I said 100 cause i know much it cost to fix it. If i just add another line to my plan it wont be more then trying to fix it.

Considering selling. Pricing input needed.

Im really wanting a nexus, in order to get it I would need to sell my g2x. I was curious as to thoughts on pricing.
This phone has not had the reboot issues others have had. It has a slight scratch on the screen, but its only noticeable in direct sunlight. The bezel has a few dings in it. To be honest, its a great dependable phone that I hate to sell, but I want something that's better supported.
Any input on a price to sell it would be great.
Thanks.

I'm interested as well as pricing, I'm in Phoenix, AZ so the craigslist market is pretty good, and full of kids itching tto spend money. Mine is like the Guy's report stating no reboots and minor wear and tear. I'm putting mine up for 175$ cause people are going to low ball anyways. I'll be pretty happy with 150$ though, anything more is kinda hoping for too much.

I haven't gotten a phone on contract since the sidekick. So unfortunately I paid a bit more than 200. I hate being locked into overpriced plans. Prepaid is the way to go.
I was hoping between this and the g2 I have I would be able to get a nexus without adding any out of pocket money.. unemployment sucks, but I gotta feed my phone addiction. Lol.. looking like I might have to throw in some cash tho.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I tried selling my phone with case for $200 and then dropped it to190 but didn't get any hits. You'll definitely want to go lower (maybe $175 is a sweet spot for some people).

I tried putting my perfect condition G2x on craigslist for $200 with 3 cases, 2 extra batteries, and a 16 GB Micro SD, and I got lowballed like crazy. Most offers I got were around the $125 range (one guy even offered $90! ) I eventually got somebody to buy it for the $200, but it took a couple days.

Mint g2x should go for ~200$

That's with minimal or no accessories, don't let those lowballs get you down

Sprint GS4 user upgrading to N5 - sim card question

Hi,
I'm seeing some conflicting into about this in several different threads, so I thought it might help to address it in one location. I'm a Sprint customer and currently have a GS4. Will I be able to use my existing sim card to activate my N5 when it comes, or will I have to get a new sim card?
Thanks!

You can use your existing SIM (you will likely need to call in to Sprint customer care to get it swapped over though). I'd suggest that you request a new SIM anyway, for use on the S4 at a later point.

Thanks. I'm selling the S4 and telling the buyer that they'll need to contact Sprint for a new sim.

Sweet, that was quick. I'm still working out the logistics. I'm going to have to sell the S4 first because I can't afford to be out 400 bucks until the phone is sold. I was thinking about just taking my upgrade with Sprint on December 1st, but then I found out that Sprint is only selling the 16gb model. I'll probably use my upgrade to buy an iPhone 5S for $200 and hopefully sell it for $600-$700.

Yeah, I hear you. Luckily I had a nice bonus at work last month, otherwise I wouldn't have dished out the money. Hoping to sell the S4 soon. Put it on Craigslist with no hits yet so I'll probably try Swappa and Ebay next. Kind of glad it didn't sell yet though because that will at least give me the chance to go back if I have major buyer's remorse.

The in store credit amount is higher, then you get 30% extra on top of that amount if you buy a used game for $1. Then use the in store credit to buy gift cards you would usually use.
You could buy all shell gas gift cards, then take them there and buy all VISA gift cards... or just use them for fuel like I am.

Interesting. Did they hassle you about the phone being brand new? The guy I talked to over the phone said they they can't buy a brand-new, unopened phone, and he acted like I stole it or something. I had to explain my plan and the fact that I don't even have the phone yet.

Not at all. We opened it together. Heck I literally never even touched the phone itself. He did ask why. I told him the truth, that I was eligible for upgrade and the iPhones bring the most on trade and I bought a Nex5 off contract.
