[Q] [REQ/TIPS] Picking up this phone soon at BEST BUY - Galaxy S 4 General

So I have Verizon Wireless and I am eligible for an upgrade now.
I want to pick up this phone and I am looking to spend about 199.99 with a new 2yr activation with the renewal of my contract.
I am trading in my old HTC Rezound at best buy which is ROOTED and FLASHED for $50 plus best buy is offering a $50 gift card towards the purchase of any Samsung Mobile phone I am told.
Does anyone recommend any other tips or suggestions possibly before purchasing and renewing my contract with Verizon and/or purchasing the phone at best buy?
I would greatly appreciate it thanks!
I look forward to possibly start making this THREAD my new home.

what s4 version will you bought at best buy? i9500 or i9505?

Buy from Verizon or Bestbuy

I have a Galaxy S3 on pre-order from bestbuy and verizon. I am looking for input on who i should get it from. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
verizon, best buy tried to credit check me when i have an 4 year old at&t account in perfect standing(also on family plan and we have bought 11 phones all from best buy on this account and never been credit checked on upgrades), they asked me questions like my mortgage and who my mortgage was with... gave them the f-u and went to an at&t store and got my upgrade with no hassle.

Early upgrade at Best Buy Question

I have a question regarding AT&T early upgrade at Best Buy store.
Let's say I'm eligible for Early Upgrade on a line. Now AT&T will charge for Galaxy S4 $199+$200 Early upgrade fee. Now question is on bestbuy they are doing a promotion for 2 year extension on contract (upgrade), Galaxy S4 for $49.99 Now if I do early upgrade with BB, will I be eligible for this price of $49.99 + $200 (Early Upgrade Fee at Best Buy) or will pay standard $199 + $200? Thank you all in advance for reading and answering my question.

How did you purchase your note

With Verizon trying to move away from contracts how did you purchase your note 5
I used The Edge but will most likely pay it off sooner than two years. I get a $15.00 discount on every phone on the edge so it isn't all that bad for me.
Paid $800 cash
Bought it through a Comcast promo using Edge to get them, activated 2 lines getting 2 x $200 gift cards, traded in a couple of old smart phones to Verizon, getting 2 x $200 gift cards from Verizon. When I get the gift cards in I will pay off the Note 5 and other filler phone with those gift cards.
Paid 839.00 tax included

Paid $839 through Best Buy. Charging cradle shipped today via USPS. Hopefully Note V ships tomorrow or Monday next week

I purchased from Best Buy with a 10%off coupon. 629.99 for Verizon 32gb
I purchased full price from best buy planning to get the free wireless charger and the $200 trade in on my old phone while keeping my unlimited data. However best buy lied. They said in their ad that I just had to activate the phone, what they meant was I had to activate it on a new contract.
I did get them to price match Verizon tho

I have unlimited data. I am adding a new line and doing the device payment using the Comcast link. I will get $200 visa gift card from Comcast. I will trade in a phone to get the $200 trade in. I may try to port a number for the extra $100. The $40 activation fee was waived. I will suspend and cancel the line. I will end up with $400-$500 in gift cards and account credit. I intend to sell my note 4. Hopefully I should get over $300 for it. In the end it will cost me less then $200.
I still have a couple thousand in account credit from this.

Full price, which I'd typically only do for a developer edition. No regrets thus far.
Could someone tell me what they're paying for a single line with tax? I'm looking to switch to Verizon but I'm thinking they'll kill me on tax. I want to buy the note 5 is why I'm in this forum.

You should mention what state and city you are in. The tax is completely based on location.

I pre-ordered mine from best buy....cheaper and you get the free wireless charger. The process is pretty much the same.

Best Buy also has a deal for $200 trade-in credit for ANY working smartphone.

I traded in my old HTC Thunderbolt best deal ever.

I just got mine with Best Buy today. I'm on a loyalty plan 60 dollars unlimited talk test and 2 GB data. 249 plus tax I would have taken the 200 trade in for the gift card, but giving my Note 2 to my stepdaughter. I did get the wireless charger too the broke the USB cable within two minutes. It got bent as I accidentally tripped and the power bar turned over and actually bent the USB plug. No worries, will just use the USB cable from my charger if I use it.

Awesome, that's almost as good as my trading in a iPhone 3GS. That's why I save these old phones, I have a dozen more 3GS and 4s that I'll trade in when the iPhone 6S comes out.
I purchased the Note 5 on the Edge program and received a $200 Best Buy Gift Card and free wireless charger. I'll pay the phone off as soon as I can and use the $200 gift card on a Sound Bar for my TV.
I just made a boo boo. I bought the note 5 yesterday from best buy and didn't think of taking in my Droid X2 to see if they would give me the $200 gift card. Do you think they'd give it to me if I took it in and traded today?

I'm not sure if it will help but I did the same thing with Verizon. I ordered on the phone and didn't do the trade in but they gave my a $170 gift card and $30 credit on my bill for a S5 I traded in at the store. BestBuy will most likely let you return the phone and repurchase it with the promo. They are good with stuff like that.
I may very well try it but I don't want to return the phone to get it.

Yep, you could cancel the whole thing and do it all over if they wanted to go that route since you're in your 15 trial period.
As long as you're within 14 days of the activation (the carrier return policy that BBY is held to) and the promotion hadn't ended, they should and need to accommodate you on this.
The way I read it when going through the online cart, Best Buy would only give you the $200 device buy-back if you do the monthly installment, i.e. full price. Not true? I used an upgrade to get mine instead of paying the full price/24 mo.
