Hello everybody. Want to share my experience for anybody that pre-ordered their v20 through AT&T and was planning on getting their $200 trade in credit. Just got back from AT&T store and process was pretty simple. I took in a old iphone they checked it out, asked for my v20 imei, then they gave me an instant $200 credit in my bill. They also said I could've used the credit instantly to buy accessories at the store, or wait to get some type of card that I could use later.

Thanks. Just putting it out there in case any body has any questions about the trade in credit process for AT&T.

I was wondering about that, as I pre ordered also. Is there a list of phones that meet the requirements?

Phone needs to be worth at least $5 to qualify for the $200

This is correct. I tried to trade in a ZTE phone but it showed a $0 trade in value and they wouldn't take it.

so pre orders must go into the store to do this? i had chatted in and they told me i will get a email, still no email here, smh.
also, has anyone searched and found a cheap burner (pre-paid phone) that can be used as a trade in? T-Mobile guys were using a Pixie4 or something, $20 at WalMart but ATT values it as a big ZERO!

You don't have to go in store, but I believe its easier and quicker. You don't need an email to go get credit in store. Just tell them you pre-ordered and are there for the credit. I couldn't find a cheap prepaid phone to turn in. The cheapest I found was a AT&T iphone 4 on eBay for $50, that AT&T valued at $5 trade in credit.

The store I went to said i would HAVE TO USE HALF of the credit in the store. I chatted online and they said I didn't and the store shouldn't be trying to make me.

I don't know if it's the same at every store, but the rep usually gets some form of commission on accessories.
So that would probably explain it.

I agree. The store I went to didn't say anything about having to use half credit at the spot.

My local AT&T store said I had to use all $200 on accessories in store and seemed shocked that I chose to keep the phone instead of trading it for a bunch of accessories I didn't want or need. Kind of like they always act so shocked that I never want the cheapo tablet offers that will cost me $10 a month for 2 years.

I just called the Customer Service of AT&T with the argument that I pay $100 bucks extra for the SGSII Skyrocket aditional from other customers that bought it from $149.99 only. After a little talk with the rep. guess what? They refound me $100 dollars to my account as a credit ... I have to say that I'm more than happy! For you guys that try this, good luck!
I hope more people can take advantage of this. I happen to live in a market that won't see LTE until the 1st or 2nd quarter next year and only paid $149.99 from a local corp. store. They should price it the same everywhere (corp stores that is) imho...
Just picked mine up for $149 @ best buy...told them about the att store and online then they price matched. And no $35 restocking fee

I've called 3 times now and gone back in the store. I've been denied this every time. Any tips on what I should say? I am a 20 year customer with 7 lines and internet. You would think that they would treat all their customers the same.

Strange... I called At&t on Monday and asked if I could upgrade early (I wasn't eligible for an upgrade until January 15th). Not only was I told yes, but I was given the $150 price for the Skyrocket. And in my zipcode it was coming up as 250 online.
Plus, I was told they will waive the upgrade fee. (I still have to call now that I have the phone to make sure that happens).
All I did was just ask nicely for the upgrade and the rest just happened. Now I've got my phone and I couldn't be happier.

i want to early upgrade too! how many months do i have left on current contract to be eligible?
I bought mine for $149.99 also. I called AT&T and complained about the fact that I had to pay $249 when others in CA or NY have only to pay $149.
After 30min on the phone the answer was still "no we can't do anythinbg the best price I can offer you is $239" When I told her that I could buy the same phone for $199 at walmart or Radioshack she said she was sorry but could do more.
I told her it was sad because at least Verizon and T-Mobile are not changing their price depending of the city and then I asked to talk to a manager.
The manager was "not available" but I got the promise he will call me asap. One our later, I got a phone call, the price was accepted, $149.
It was worth the time
Am I the only one who would rather pay the $100 than spend 30+ minutes on the phone with an ATT CSR?
Hmm my local ATT store asked me what area code showed 149.99, but ones I knew that should have showed 149 seemed 250 and he said he cant bring down the price.
What area code shows 149 still from ATT website.
If you bought it from Bestbuy, just print out a screen shot of the AT&T website showing $149 and they will refund you the $100. I attempted only 1 time and had no problem.

I just went to Bestbuy and showed them the price on my phone. So he looked on their computers and it said $250 and that it was because my zip was in Oklahoma City on my phone(I used the zipcode a few posts back). I just said my parents moved out there, and after this semester of school I would be moving too. I just said I didn't want to return it and have to have my parents buy it and ship it to me.
He asked a manager and they approved it. Probably didn't want to lose store numbers on contract renewals and bit the hundred bucks.
I would advise saying you didn't want to have to return it and buy it there if your zip is different, they want to keep their numbers up.
Not sure if anyones noticed, but its 199 on the site. I paid 250 on 1/5 for it and renewed my contract. My question is what are the chances of seeing 50$ back since ive had it for 20 days? I swore i asked the in store sales guy about this scenario and he directed me to call att for a refund. called and the guy pretty much shut me down and said no. having a manager call me back tomorrow but has anyone been in this similar situation?
I called AT&T and was told I'd have to take it to store where they promptly credited my account $50. As long as you're within their 30-day price guaranty you shouldn't have any trouble. It sounds like you're well within the period.
I just bought mine today for $199

I also got mine from AT&T on January 5, and it was $150. The $200 it shows as now is a price increase. Maybe a regional inconsistency?
If you're within 30 days, you should be able to get a refund for the $50, but it's odd to me that you got charged $100 more than me when I got it at the same time as you.

im guessing so, its 199 all around here.
so fyi i did have to go to the store and they credited me 50. thanks all!
Add me to the list of those who paid $149; also purchased on the 5th and agree, must only be certain regions.
I think the price varies as I also paid $149 a few weeks ago.

best buys buy back program on my infuse plus employee discount= nothing for me perks of the job. Ill be doing the same thing with the note. I love getting free phones haha
So I was unfortunately unable to preorder this phone, but I'm definitely planning on getting it. Each day I have to wait is getting longer and longer and was wondering if anyone here managed to pick one up in the store today/has called a store to see if they can get one a day early on Saturday (I already badgered them enough earlier this week that I'm ashamed to call them again). Would be very awesome as Sundays don't leave me much time to play around with it
It really depends on the stores in your area. Some people have gotten theirs from in-store already. I would doubt at this point that you would be able to get one a day early but you never know. I know that Target (where I'm getting mine) won't even have theirs until Sunday.
Both radioshacks that I preordered at has em in stock, but they can't sell em to me until Sunday.
Costco is selling them now. 189...

Radioshack systems won't let them checkout the One X until the 6th(i tried three different ones and talked to a manager). Bestbuy WILL let them checkout, just gotta find someone willing to sell it.

Something sounds very fishy about this. We get shipments of 10x of a single device at a time (usually)
Each box contains about 5 phones of that color / capacity.
Display unit maybe?
The salesman told me to call back tomorrow to see I'd their shipment arrived in and he would swap it out.

Lol... LG stopped production on their flagship device? No. A lot of cell companies are out of the G2 bc of holiday sales. I had to track down a white one for Verizon and it took awhile. Best bet is to either order it online from AT&T or Amazon. Store restocks can take a while.
He said its for work. So has to be a corporate store. I have a Verizon G2 for work and only a corporate store can upgrade a line on a corporate account.
Perhaps call and order over the phone. They should be able to activate the sim and ship you a new phone next day.

Yeah the phone in black is readily available on Verizon's site. Have it shipped to the store and activated if they won't do it over the phone.

Get to the verizon website by going through ebates, and you can get $160 in rebates on a new activation.
Ebates is a referal site that has no hooks or gimmicks. THey just want you to shop online by clicking on their site first. THe money is sent to you via check or paypal. And it works.
Use this link

Create your account
Search for verizon wireless, and it will open a new window to it. THen shop around and get $160 back.
Simple. No gimmicks, no tricks.
It's finally in stock on AT&T's website. I placed an order and should arrive sometime next week.
I still find it weird that it was sold out online and in all AT&T stores. I tried placing an order over the phone too and got the same out of stock. The AT&T rep even tried calling local stores in my area and was also told out of stock.

I'm in the market for a G2 now, and it seems the same thing is happening. AT&T's site says it's sold out. I called my local store (York, PA) and they say it's not marked as end of life, but they told me no other local stores have them in stock either. Could it now be because of the Flex?
Could be just catching people's attention maybe? Just picked one up, and let's just say my HTC One is getting a bit jealous, lol. I never even heard of this phone until a couple of weeks ago.
I ordered the white one on the att site on the 30th, during the one day it's been in stock. Now it's back ordered. Hope it doesn't take forever.

Amazon wants 200 dollars more than AT&T though. Thanks for the thought though.
I just ordered the Note 5 taking advantage of the $100 discount. I currently have a Note 3 and was wondering if I could get any money or credit for it by trading it in to Verizon. I also heard some people got credit or something from Samsung after buying the Note 5. I just can't find the thread anymore.

I also heard some people got credit or something from Samsung after buying the Note 5. I just can't find the thread anymore. Anybody know of any credit I can get with my Note 3 from Verizon or Samsung? Thanks.

I know VZW had a promo going a couple of months ago where you were guaranteed trade-in credit for the Note5--but that's ended for some time now. You should be able to look up the trade-in value for your phone on the VZW site before going in-store.

They finally have the gold one, but they aren't letting switch it out unless I buy a new phone or upgrade another line. Sorry this didn't have anything to do with anything. Just a rant.

I upgraded and bought my note 5 the same way 2 weeks ago. Online with promo code to get $100 off the phone. Before i did, i went to nearby verizon store and said i could get $300 credit if I were to trade in my note 3. But they said up to, if in above good or mint condition, depending on condition of your phone and manager descrition. Hope you enjoy your note 5
dont forget to claim samsung promotions. $50 BBGC and other goodies like bluetooth headphones, etc.

I went from a Note 3 to 5 also and did get an offer from Verizon. The offer said up to $200 back. When I clicked on the link and filed out the form their website it told me they would give me $19.84 for the Note 3. Decided to just sell it on ebay with all the related accessories - I'll do that and get around $200 instead...

Hey man the website price isn't correct. They should text you a promo code about a week after purchase. I traded in a galaxy nexus that was worth $1 when I entered it on the site, but then I entered the promo code and it jumped to $200.

BBGC= Best buy gift card. He's talking about the promotions you can sign up for on the Samsung website for doing things such as buying a phone, activating Samsung pay, etc. Usually they will throw in a free item or cash back.

Just checked Samsung site. My card is not compatible with Samsung Pay (I already knew that) and I can't find any offers related to buying a new phone. Is that something you need to do before buying? I'd love to get something out of buying the phone if I can ?

You did not say where you ordered your phone. It seems like the offers are always changing. I was able to get the best deal through Best Buy back in December. I got Best Buy $100 discount as well as $ off by financing through the Verizon plan of the day. I was planning to buy it out right. But it worked out to be cheaper to add it to there program. I had unlimited and they weren't about to let me keep that anymore.
