Paid 67.99 for my Note. $50 preorder then traded in a S4 ($200) + Best Buy gift card for purchasing the phone ($50) and had 17.99 remaining for taxes and activation.
Same here except i traded a Sanyo Zio......... worth like 2 cents............. no way were they getting my Note 3.........lol
Bought the 50 buck preorder gift card. Went to store to pick up phone (with a crap trade in) realized I forgot the card, they told me I could bring it in and refund it. Went to my local store to do and the manager said there's no way to do it. He offered to reimburse me the cost of the zag tempered glass though, which was 40 and I got to keep the 50 gift card. So after all that it was like 115 for the note plus a 50 buck gift card. Complicated but I feel good about the result.

Unless I'm really bad at math, you got $300 in promotions. The phone costs $720, so how did you only pay $67.99?
He upgraded with 2 year contract so out of pocket cost is 300. He paid 50 dollar for a gift card as a down-payment to pre-order. He traded in phone and got 200 towards phone so now cost is 100. Got additional 50 for purchasing phone. So cost is now 50 tack on his state taxes of 17.99 equals 67.99

How did you guys get additional $50 gift card for purchasing the phone? Mine $118 otd, $50 preorder + $200 trade in (htc hero).
Best buy gave additional 50. They advertised it
I sort of paid $79 for mine after taxes and deposit (or 109 with the Amazon phone I traded in).
There's the $50 deposit, $200 for trading in an HTC Hero (that I paid $30 for), $50 GC for buying a phone this year at BB.
I say sort of because I got a $700 credit in store for my Note 2 as well since I kept having hardware issues with 3 Note 2's within a week. That also got me a Galaxy Gear Neo 2, WB350 Camera, a few other other small things.
This is in the sprint section. What abt the Verizon model?

Imma have to take a visit to Bestbuy and see if they can honored the $50 bucks.
where is this extra $50 gift card everyone is talking about being advertised? please link
I got the $200 gift card for my trade in but i have not seen anything about another $50 GC...

There's two that I've heard of. One is a $50 coupon for trading in a phone; supposedly not many have luck with that one since it double dips. There's another one that is for the BB Reward members from February or so who signed up and said they'd buy a phone this year; I got this one. They basically have this one every year and you get it as long as you sign up, and buy a phone within that year. It'll pop up when you give them the phone number for your RZ account.

I've got melting plastic in my wallett, itching to be used. Given the prices from last week, £360 for a Galaxy Tab, I was trying to resist til the 14th to make my decision.
But today I though, nah, must have one. Playback my DivX... Hooked up the two websites and...
Nope, that's me put off for a while.
Carphone Warehouse want £399.
Tesco Direct want £449.
Clove want £442
Expansys want £499
PC World want £407
Amazon want £408
Scan £450
Ahh well. Looks like Im waiting for the Galaxy Tab 2
try bestbuy.co.uk, main page says 399, but further down it mentions other deals, such as tab+16gig upgrade+pay as you go sim for 359
There going for $250 on contract in the U.S.
I got mine for $50 from TMOUS! Great deals to be had stateside.

how did you get it for $50 Pittphan? i'm also looking to pick one up on contract. if i can get it less than the advertised $250 on t mobile i'd love to do so. thanks!
i just check tmo's site and it's increased $100 off contract. last week i was considering getting another galaxy tablet and it was listed as $500 off contract for about a month. now it's back up to $600 off contract - you do get $50 off if you order online though.
actually it seems the price changes depending on what page you view -
prepaid is $600 plus web discount of $50 off. LINK
"normal" contract says retail is $500 LINK
kinda stupid to list the retail value differently for the same product.
Go here: http://tinyurl.com/d3eczlq by 2-9-13 to reserve your gift card. Activate a new phone between 2-10-13 & 12-31-13 to receive the gift card. Good in store or online.
Checked best buy website, they did what I expected. The note 2 price bumped up to $250 from $200 so the gift card offer is useless since amazon has it for $200 or less.
May still benefit other phones, I didn't check them.

That may be true, but how long can they keep these prices up for? They're bound to go down by the end of this year, which is fine since the promotion lasts that long.

If you signed up for the deal then call your local best buy and ask if they'll price match amazon wireless and give you the gift card. I just got off the phone with a store by me and they said I can get both. So I'll be picking up a note 2 next week on upgrade for $150+tax. Maybe less since the amazon price keeps changing. Its $69 right now for a new customer.
Costco has the N3 for $229.99 plus a mail-in rebate of $50 with 2yr contract. Not only is this a great price, but it comes with an accessory pack. Available online or in-store till December 26th.

Another plus with Costco is the 2 year Squaretrade warranty for $99 at time of purchase with a $50 deductible.

Looks like new accounts only. Upgrades are $229.99 after $50 rebate.
Amazon has the AT&T GN3 upgrade for $179.99. no rebate and membership required. Sorry, i cannot post URL since i'm still under the 10 post mark.
I feel stupid now that I payed 370$ after tax for N3 when it first came out

Ya there are some good deals for the note 3 with a new line. Amazon has it for $149, Costco $179 & Fry's $189. For upgrades Amazon is $179, Costco is $229 and I think Fry's price is still $189 for upgrade (sale right now). Only thing about going to Costco is that you only pay taxes on the amount you pay, not on the full price of the phone, this can save quite a bit. It's almost the same price as going thru Amazon, after taxes... Plus Costco give you the accessory pack. I'm personally waiting for it to go down to $179 at Costco. They seem to follow amazon's pricing, just a couple days later...
don't worry, atleast we got our notes unlocked off the bat no contract and sold them for profit!!!!!!
Got mine from Best Buy last week for $149, plus a free on contract S4. Walked out with both for $160 out the door.
I didn't see this here so I thought I would post it.
https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4
I wonder if it will work if I upgrade through Amazon... But trade an old phone through Best Buy?
Last time I bought my note 2 at best buy they price matched amazon with a sprint contract. (They also price matched an otterbox and samsung SD card to amazon.com) which saved me over $125 on price matching alone. As long as the product is shipped and sold by amazon.com and not a 3rd party seller.
My local best buy(Knoxville, TN) told me they are going to sell it there on all carriers for $299 even sprint
i would try either of those options before risking samsung not giving you any money top make up to $200. If they price match as they say you will only pay $99.99 for it at best buy.

Yeah and it seems you have to buy and trade in from the same store.
I didn't realize best buy would price match Amazon and I was buying a case and screen protector through Amazon anyway, I pre ordered through Amazon.

I'm sure amazon has not charged you for the phone. Cancel that order and head to best buy and pre-order. Seems they are not getting a lot of orders the best buy in my large city of Knoxville tn had only had 6 pre-orders total on all carriers including mine as of Monday so I'm sure they are still doing pre-orders about everywhere.
Or if you don't need the phone would were going to trade in go ahead and trade it in and try to see what happens can't hurt if you don't need the phone. On the link it never says you have to trade in on same retailer it says:
1. Pre-order note 4
2. Trade in old device at any participating retailer
3. Upload pre-order and trade in receipts to samsung.com/ xxxxxxxxx (can't remember exact site but it seems it may work.) Contact samsung customer service see what they say
When does it get released.

I specifically asked my local best buy if they would price match the note 4 with Amazon and they said no. Only price match to Sprint stores, not even other retailers like Target etc.
Forgive me I was a bit confused.
Do I have to buy the phone at best buy?
Is this only for the sprint version?
Thank You
From the looks of this I should be able to get 200 credit for my Epic? Or am I delusional?
*** Just went to try the pre-order on Amazon, and it seems it wont allow me to keep my current unlimited data plan.. WTF.
Took the GF to BB today and was told corporate sez they have reached the limit for phones available for pre order through BB store's. She was unable to pre order one with the promo's. WTF?
Lucky I ordered mine a couple of days ago. Sheesh...
I tried last week to order the black model and got the same response. The white version was available, but I don't think I could handle having a white phone, even if am going to get a case for it at some point (if I get I get the phone at all)
I was told today that the stores cannot pre-order anymore, but I was able to online. Now I plan on going to store to see if they will honor the trade-in promo, since it says in stores only
My Pre Order Experience
Today:
Went to BB, was able to pre order the Note 4 and traded in a Samsung S2 US Cellular
Was given an instant $25 gift card for the Samsung and then will receive $175 Instant rebate at time of purchase.
I was told to pick up the phone on 10/16 after 10AM
Price match to amazon was accepted.
Also applied for an additional Best Buy CC, which is an auto decline without a credit run because I already have the card and they gave me an additional $20 off for that,
At the end:
$300 Phone - Price Match
$200 Gift Card
$20 Credit
$40 Gift Certs
10% coupon
-------
$30 Balance
Love you BB
Just thought I would add that it is any store, online or physical that is accepting pre orders according to the Samsung faq on the promotion. I pre ordered through sprint and will fill out the form through Samsung Web site.

I wouldn't say that suk's. Got mine for $165 November 1st 14. That was a hell of a deal.
With a trade in (my ancient Optimus S) and a BB card it was $99. Here in Ca with the dumb azz green tax and such... $165.
1 buck, wow.
I just switched from the HTC One M7 to the Note 4. Went to Best Buy and picked it up for $1 and they were still offering $100 gift card.

Go back and have them price match! I picked one up on Sunday for $1 AND a $100 Gift Card! .....it's like they gave me $99 to take it from them!
Bagged mine back on Sept 18th for a buck on 2 year renewal as well.Went to local BB to see if I could score a card, but doesn't apply to online purchases.
Ahh well, still ahead of the game.
Thanks for the heads up. I got one a month ago when they were nowhere to be found. Got it on BB for $200 plus contract. Got one today for $1 for my kids. Evens out the score to ~$100 each.
the gift card isn't offered anymore ..well through online that is. is it only offered in store?

I picked up my Note 4 on Oct 1st for $99. I called up Best Buy yesterday and they gave me the $1 price match, but only for the charcoal version. The pearl white version still carries the $99 price tag.
Got mine in Best Buy on Sat for $1, and they gave me the $100 gift card.
Did they give you the $100 gift card as well?

I picked one up for the wife today @ 1 dollar and it's her birthday too... They are selling out fast around here, yesterday they were listed on the website as being in several stores close to my house but when I pulled the trigger today I had to drive 30 miles to pick one up. get on this train fast if you want one at that price.
Got mine.
I picked a Note 4 up for a dollar as well. I got the $100 gift "card",but had to pay $54.00 for some fee. I applied the gift card to this fee and walked out of there with a Note 4 and $50.00 gift "card"in my pocket. My stock battery life wasn't that great, so bought a zero lemon battery for it. Battery life is better, but no where near my S5 using the MOAR Rom. That sucker go 2 days moderate use on it. The note 4 gets a day.
$1 & More
My last Note 4 broke, went to BB & no great deal on the Note 5, but the 4 was running at the $1 price along with that $100 gc.... AND since i wasn't treating myself to a newer device, I promptly spent that gc on my fancy new Gear S2 classic. AND i'm super impressed the S2 has no issues communicating to devices with custom roms (fyi)
