I am pretty sure you dont get the rebate unless you get a 1 or 2 year contract with the phone. I submitted my rebate through the verizon online rebate center and mailed away with my verizon receipt from my online purchase and the rebate form I printed online.
Was this a fluke on verizon's behalf since I paid $530 for mine and not a new contract or extension? I mailed my rebate last week and got it today. $100 rebate card!
thats not sure. u can get the mail in rebate with full price. also i ordered mine from customer service over the phone and i still got a mail in rebate form, im pretty sure I can get that also, which they gave me the instant discount already
Wait I am thinking about getting switching to Incredible from the Eris for a few reason, but is this really true? Because, at 430 plus tax that is cheaper than going the ebay route. What can the rebated card be used for, can it be just used for cash?
if you are anywhere over 12 months into your plan you can upgrade to a new 2 year plan and only pay a $20 early upgrade fee... making the phone $220 .. U upgraded my secondary line for the incredible and they keep sending me emails for an extra 50 off of another incredible to upgrade my main account early... making it $150... if you wait verizon will send you some discount soon... especially if you are a long term customer.... I'm 9 years with VZW and finally I have a phone I'm not ashamed to own
The rebate applies regardless of the price you paid. The only way it doesn't apply is if you received an instant rebate at the time of purchase. I too, paid full retail, and got my debit card yesterday. Bringing the total cost of my Incredible, after I sold my Moto Droid and accessories, to $64.00.
Where would have it the lowest price eligible for the rebate?

I could of sworn the fine print said it was only applicable to people who got a 1 or 2 year contract, not people who paid full price. When I ordered the phone full price it did not show any discount available like it does with the 1 or 2 year contract, it shows price after rebate...

That's right, because when you re-up, or do a new contract, they give you the rebate instantly. When you go the full retail route, you have to mail it in.
I also paid full price for mine 529.00 at Best Buy and they would not give me any rebate, instant or mail in. You would think paying full price they would cut us some slack
Wow thanks for the info. I had no idea I could qualify for any rebates, but mine's on it's way right now. That extra $100 will be useful for a proper battery/charger/AF that this phone shoulda been stock with!
To find out if you are eligible for a rebate, simply go here, https://www.yourwirelessrebatecenter.com/promocenter/verizonwireless/promo_search.html, and fill in the required information.
The rebate only applies to 1/2yr contracts, so if you received a rebate and paid full retail then you lucked out. The *instant* rebate only applies online, telesales (if you tell them your are having errors ordering online), or sometimes indirect stores, other wise if your order at direct store or through customer service by phone, you would recieve a *mail* in rebate. Exceptions can be made depending on the situation.
All I know is, I paid $529 for my Incredible, ordered on the VZW website, did not extend my contract, sent in the rebate, and got my $100. If people aren't interested in $100, then so be it.

I was just clarifying the policy. I'm not sure why it's being included but that's a good thing! I recieved mine for $100 after the instant rebate and NE2 of $100

Yep I just sent mine in too, sold my TP2 for $300, getting this $100 back. Overall price for the Incredible - $164. I can be happy with that lol
i must have way over paid phone after tax was 620 last one they had in stock in Vegas was on vacation and won enough to buy one now need to sell xv6800 maybe get 100 for that then total would be 420 but i won 700 of 50 dollars so win win.
Thank you guys SO MUCH for posting about this! I also paid full retail for my phone, $530 + tax, with NO contract extension, and asked the store reps specifically if I was eligible for the $100 mail in rebate, to which they said NO, and even on my receipt "(Rebate NOT Elligible)". Why I ever listen to those clowns, I do not know... they also said I was not eligible for the free 2gb memory card... eh no big loss there but still I wonder.
Anyways, I followed the link and found that I AM eligible for the $100 rebate, got the form right from that link after filling in some basic info, and will mail it off tomorrow with my UPC and copy of my receipt. I don't forsee any issue with getting my $100 card
You guys made my day, and my wife's day as well . I also was lucky enough to sell my Touch Pro 2 to a coworker for $300, plus this $100, brings my total out of pocket to ~$150... Very nice indeed for a new phone after only 6 mos!
So anyone get their rebates yet since I posted this topic?
Well i was able to get the vibrant for Tmobile for 64.99 with 2 year commitment with $20 unlimited data loyalty plan, No upgrade/ activation fee, and free 3 day shipping and intant rebate. I was offered same deal on all 5 of my lines but will only take it up on one since i want to save the other upgrades for future phone releases. Only bad part is i wont get the vibrant until tuesday .
Im thinking of picking up one at tmobile tomorrow for retail price which is$439 to play with until mine comes in and then just return it, but i dont think tmobile will like that much.
Just really happy to get such a great deal and looking foward to android coming from the iphone platform

He has 5 lines. Phone companies always treat people based on how much they pay a month. The more you pay on your phone bill the more likely you are to get deals and fee's waived.
Also I see this confusion a LOT. $439 vs $499. It seems the $439 price is only for current customers, or people well into their contract. The $499 is for everyone else.

Ive been with tmo for 8 years and have 5 lines so im sure that helped. Basicly all my lines are out of contract and had previous considered going to ATT for new iphone. Tmobile offered free upgrades on all lines for any phone they had at that time with all fees waived. But they didnt have the vibrant out yet, so they told me to call once it was out to see what deal i could have. I called once it became availabe and they offered to waived all fees, bump up shipping and and additional $100 credit to regular upgrade. They ended up giving me additional $135 because i mentioned my upgrade only said 164.99, which was different from their $199, so they just added $35 to match the price.
Tmobile takes care of their customers! I have no issues being on a commitment with them.
Nice ^^^
They really hooked you up.

I paid $499.99
i paid 499.99 also, and i've been with t-mobile for 9 years with 4 phones.
got one offered for $429+taxes (~$460) as my early upgrade price (i bought my mt3g aug last year).
moved on to the retentions folks who brought it down to $249 + taxes, which is only $50 more than a brand new contract, i was sold on that. had them make the note on my account and picked it up in-store locally for the same price! =)
loving the phone so far, big upgrade from the mytouch3g.
can't wait to get CM6 on this baby.
btw, im having market issues currently - "download failed" error. was initially able to download a couple apps, but none now despite several reboots.

If you signed a 2 year contract, then you could try to get the $50 rebate.
Costco has it for $99.99 (instant) with a 2yr contract until Monday.

Just picked up 2 in store myself - $149.99 each with $50 mail in rebates. The instant $50 rebate is for online orders only, I think.

Did you upgrade? I started a new account and got it for $99.99 instant.
fuuuckkk so us G1 users are screwed?! my upgrade doesn't take affect till august something (got the g1 on release date) i wanted the phone for 100 bucks
When i got the G2 last month with a partial upgrade i had to pay $350, then found out costco had them for 99$ and that people were calling 611 and making tmobile price match that and getting theirs for around $150 in the end...
I ended up returning the HTC G2 after finding out i had paid almost 3 times too much.
I just ended up calling 611 for my Mytouch HD upgrade and she marked my account at $260 for an upgrade.
Is that worth it? is costco selling it for less again? I want to snag this phone up today so ill wait a few hours and read any posts i may get.
________________________
EDIT: After a huge debate with a customer service rep, i was able to get the phone for $149.99 + TAX, but it was harder then pulling teeth!!!!
I got mine for $150 and adde the $20 data plan. I also signed a two year contract. No upgrade fee and free shipping.
I got the family more plus plan so I wanted to put down $300 for the phone. At the end I paid $347 with 2 silicon case (20% off the cases if I got 2. So I bought one for my cousin.) and change, but I have about $182 and change left to pay.
myTouch4G (Glacier)
Hubby called retention and got it for $149.99 (matching wirefly's price) and free shipping. With the EIP, paid $30 up front, and 3x $40 for the next three months bill. This is the upgrade price (+ 2 more years of contract) which I don't mind since we like T-mo and we're on a grandfathered plan.
Should be here on Wednesday.
I got mine at Costco. $200 - $50 MIR = $149.
i got mine from tmo for 99 then a 2nd one for 149 .... which i havent opened if anyone interested lol
Got mine for 150 on a new contract... - my 30% discount (radioshack) and - the 45$ I got from tmo in commission for selling the contract... breaks down to 75+sales tax
Then in 3 months the contract gets shredded when I convert it to dealer line
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Free! I work there!
Sent from my HTC phone
how did you get both phones so cheap???? Would you mind sharing?
Me? Employee discount... I work at radioshack... plus I make commission off phone sales so I got paid to buy a phone
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Through Wirefly and BOA
Ordered a new accnt from Wirefly for 79.99... But i did it through Bank of America's add it up program (You need a BOA checking accnt or credit card) so I will get 50$ credited back into my BOA accnt in a month's time... Net = 29.99$

I showed this to my tmobile store and they wanted my activations so they sold it to my for 79.99 and gave me a $50 T-Mobile rebate, so I never had to use my BoA card and I walked out of the store with 2 MT4G's. My gf wanted the purple one (I got the black) so I made them take the class 4 sd cards out of another black one and replace the purple's class 2.
Yes you read that right. Black ones get class 4 sandisk sd cards and the purple ones all had class 2 samsung sd cards. Not sure about the other colors.
Got mine for $149.99 thru retentions
But I wish I would have been one of the lucky to get it for $99 lol but $50 isn't something for me to get up in arms about because either way I got a deal I believe.
I've been keeping an eye on amazon wireless's $150 epic expecting to go up in price any day....well it went down to $100 when I check last night! So I ordered it...hooray. I signed up for as a new customer so not sure if it will be the same price for an upgrade. Hopefully that will help some of you out.

Don't sweat it. It's been this price for weeks now. Problem is, it's ONLY for new contracts (no upgrades) and the $99 is only for single plans. Family plan new contract price is $149, and upgrades are still unavailable through Amazon - apparently they are working on it.
Walmart.com has it for 199 with and you get a $100 wm gift card in 4-6 week's only thing is its back ordered and they don't tell you..So i'm waiting for mine right now. I did get it for 169 w/ the gc because of a sale last week. Too good to pass up. Ordered 3 LG optimus's for the family so I'm getting $400 in gift cards but because my epic is back ordered the whole thing is on hold

I wonder how is it treating you? Because i just put my order in as a new customer Hooray.
The phone is now on sale through Verizon and if you paid full price you can call and get a price adjustment. I paid $250 for my 64gb BN that I bought on December 4th, and just got a credit for $125.
This is the number I called 1 800 922 0204. You need to speak to billing, I was on hold for about 20 minutes, but that's well worth it for $125.
Hope this helps.
Think this will work for those that purchased on release?

No.
if you used the edge program they will deduct 125 from the cost shorten the payments
Confirmed.. just got $100 refund on my Turbo 32GB.
I got my turbo on November 5th and tried calling in. They couldn't give me the full refund of $100 but did give me $40. I'll take it
edge discount
So they will give you $125 off if you are under edge? Really?
No. I tried and they wouldn't give me a credit.
