As a AAA member for 11 years I just called them regarding this - the discount is on plan add-ons. So for my EMP plus plan it doesn't apply as insurance is my only add on and it doesn't apply to insurance. But, if you have a standard voice plan with a text and data add on it would apply to the text and data add-ons.

I'm not sure what you mean by addons but it should apply to any voice line that is on a contract. So the only restriction is that it doesn't work for Even More Plus plans =\

I just called TMO about this and they said I would have to renew my contracts for my line and my wife's line (Family plan) for two years. Not sure that's worth it for me.

Yeah - for my EMP plan it's only add-ons since the regular plan is already at a "discounted rate". For standard plans under a 2yr contract it should work assuming they aren't already at a discounted rate (as explained by t-mo).

I think I win.
It's "only" 2000 minutes, but I still think I win.

Unlimited Family Messaging for $9.99. I win. =)

Wow...I pay $161/mo for 4 people. 1800 minutes/Unlimited Messaging/Fave 5 [no longer offered]/Two data plans/all phones have insurance. My mother and father-in-law pay me $40/mo each so my wife and myself pay around $80 for our phone service. She has a MyTouch and I have my N1.
I also might mention that I have unlimited messaging for families for $9.99/mo . This usually costs $35/mo. I got it on a promo about 4 years ago.

I just callled and got my AAA discount for my 1000 minute plan, Unlimited text, data, caller tunes, and insurance, 14% off and your bill changes to the 27th.
It can take up to sixty days for the discount to show on you bill.

I have a co-worker that ordered two droids via the Verizon website and he only paid 106 dollars after tax. He took ad vantage of a buy one get one free deal. Buts whats interesting is that they gave him an additional hundred dollars off the price for no known reason. A Total price of 106 and he got two excellent phones.

Got my Sprint rebate today...pleasantly surprised!

So I'm pretty sure Sprint owed me a $100 rebate...I bought my Evo for $300 plus tax ($45), and Sprint granted me a $70 renewal credit for reupping my previous SERO line for another 2 years (afterwards I switched plans when I bought the Evo).
So I get my rebate check in the mail today, and instead of the $100 my check was for $250!
I remember reading that Sprint has done this before, sent people $250 instead of the $100, but I sure as hell am not complaining. My net payment for the phone is $25!

Dang, my rebate came today also, but it was only $100.

bought my phone the day of the release but barely sent me rebate in last week.. damn i should have just took care of it that same day.. guess ill continue to wait

OP, when did you send in your rebate papers?

I got my phone the 30th of June, I think I sent my rebate in around a week or so later.

So you're going to notify them that they overpaid or at least find out what happened, right? Or are you just going to stick it to them because they're a big corporation?

It's one thing to commit some kind of fraud but keeping money they send you is not sticking it to them, it's letting them stick it to themselves..

Sprint should be more responsible with their money

So you are thief. Good to know. It doesn't matter if it was your Mom or Sprint. Wrong is wrong.

I have no qualms taking the money. The alternative? Talking to customer service for hours, potentially waiting weeks for another rebate...
This is not the first I've heard of sprint doing this, even my friend received two rebates for the same submission before. Either they're not paid enough to do their jobs right, or they're downright incompetent. To be honest, sprints random incompetence in this case and their ability to still provide great service despite this keeps me as a customer, believer it or not.
When I first signed up for sprint I was supposed to get $100 in referrals...i didn't get them but enjoyed my service from sprint anyways...and still referred people.
The mistake is not my fault, I don't know anyone who would take the headache if trying to correct it over cashing the check

Last year when I was working for sprint I upgraded my phone to the blackberry tour and sent in my rebate. I paid 300 for the device and renewed my contract. I got my rebate a month later and it was for 300 dollars. I got my phone for free and my coworker who did the same upgrade got his rebate for 100.
I checked with someone at sprint since I worked there and they told me to keep it. So right now I'm waiting for my next rebate right now and I am interested to see if I get another cool MIR. The last one helped me buy my laptop and if the do it again the next one will help me pay for my wedding.

Ha, it's actually funny you call me a thief for this.
I called Sprint yesterday to report a gameloft game that was mistakenly charged to my account 6 times, instead of once. The charge looked like a single $29.94 charge and I told them $4.99 of it was legit but they took the whole $30 off anyways.. Then they offered me a $70 rebate to reset my contract to begin yesterday, and I was VERY clear about maintaining my Dec first upgrade
THEN they ship a free airrave for a line on my account thats used in a rural area, and waive the mir for it AND removed the spending limit on my account..
Despite all that: Yes, I would let Sprint mistakenly send me money and keep it, especially when (as nhutpham mentioned) the alternative is likely spending another hour or two of my life on the phone with Sprint's courteous but incompetent CS.

lol @ you dude, just because he isnt going to send them the money back doesnt make him a thief...
if i found $20 on the ground, and I kept it... does that make me a thief? no
but it would bring my "morals" into question

sprint error in your favor, collect 150 dollars

I got my rebate last week from Sprint for $100. A few days before that, I got my $100 Visa Gift card from Bluefish (corporate discount package deal). So my total true cost for the EVO was only $99. Well worth it!

Sprint doesn't feel bad about taking an extra $10 a month from you, do they? Why should he feel bad about taking the check.

Don't get another thread locked or deleted because of that. When are people going to let that die? No one forced you to buy the damn phone!

are you kidding me? you knew full well that the evo would cost an extra $10/month compared to other smart phone plans and you bought it anyway.
you can't possibly compare the $10 fee and keeping money that is not yours.
the fact of the matter is that they paid you too much money by accident...if you keep it and can sleep just fine at night, that's your call.
i would give the money back. do what you gotta do...

Shut the **** up. Stop hating because if it were you I betyou'd keep the money. It's different if you were at a store and the clerk gave you more money than they were supposed to.

W00000T I FOUND ONE.. 12% off
I'm a RewardZone Premier Silver Member, and I got coupons in the mail last week, it's good 12/8-12/19, says 12% off on no-contract phones.
It says "when you use your reward zone program premier silver membership"
It also came with a 10% off one too.
Looks like a standard coupon, I've used these before and I always use my RewardZone, so I don't know if it actually is required for a Premier Silver level to use.

My advice for using best buy coupons is always be nice and courteous to the cashier, if you act like some douche they will deny it, and if you get your coupon denied just ask to talk to the manager, they usually fix things up for you. I've got them to honor prices that were misprinted in the past.

Wow awesome...I just checked BB and I'm not eligible for an upgrade until JULY so that means i have to pony up $500+ for the Nexus S. So any coupon in form is awesome!
Hopefully one is found for thursday!

I believe that all of the best buy reward coupons state that unlocked phones and contract phones are excluded. It says that no contract phones are acceptable meaning pay as you go phones. You could probably argue that having t-mobile service means that all phones would qualify but they are technically unlocked phones or contract phones. The coupon may not apply the discount but they may give you the discount anyway.

correct. only one device

I think they are on to it. This is the 10% off coupon good till 12/31. Notice how the category has changed to just phone accessories

forgot about these. should be getting some of the premium silver member ones in the mail soon. really hope i get the 12% off contract phones.

TELL ME YOU LOVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLICK ON THANKS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go to http://bbyurl.us/ps1 this is a mobile coupon. 12% OFF, it says rewardzone members only! You can go to the site on your PC to look at it too!
Or get the URL sent to yourself. This is a SECRET code/txt message!!!
Send PREMIER to 332211 and you will get a txt message about the above URL with the 12% off No Contract Phones. You will probably need a RewardZone membership, so go sign up now!
Here's the actual mobile site that shows the coupon: http://m.bestbuy.com/mobile/coupons/coupon-premier-1370997.html
"PHONES & ACCESSORIES: no-contract phones • landline phones • landline and mobile phone accessories • phone cards • 2-way radios"
It says you need Premiere Membership, but again, just sign up for RewardZone, and hope that it works for non Premier members
CLICK ON THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You

Just to let you know, the back of the coupon, in the fine print, it says its not valid on contract/ AND unlocked phones. Isnt the Nexus S an unlocked phone? Im a premiere silver member and got the coupon a few days ago as well, but saw the fine print. I will still try to use it, but they could argue it and say that it is an unlocked phone so therefore invalid

Damn, what is the differenzce between unlocked phones and no-contract phones? Seems to be the same for me. Sorry I am not from the US, so maybe this is a stupid question.

I think we should argue if they say anything.
I would like to get it for $199 on contract, but the store doesn't sell it, only off contract full price (and it happens to be unlocked), it's their fault they don't sell T-Mobile in their store, so it should qualify as a "no contract phone"

Thanks for the info although I rarely ever come close to my 450 minutes. Is there anything we have to do or are the 300 minutes automatically added to our plans?
Never said it before but thanks for all the info you give us, it's good to have an insider.
P.S. Still working changing my upgrade to 6/1, they really don't want to change that. I'll be with them 10yrs on 10/15 so from a company perspective I don't really think it's such a big deal to change.

I dread having to call Sprint for an extra 300 Bonus Minutes on top of the already 450 Anytime and 60 Bonus minutes I DONT USE AS IT IS...
Ive been back and forth with them for almost 4 months just trying to get them to fix my data - and now they want me to call for 300 minutes? How about just crediting me what 300 minutes would cost at $0.45 each on my bill and we call it even!?

Be careful with T-Mobile bogo

The BOGO is for qualified plans only (meaning T-Mobile One unlimited). So with the simple choice plan that I have with six lines if I were to switch, it would add at least $80 more each month. I had already ordered the two phones and added a line when I called customer service to find out why one phone was being shipped today and the other ship date was October 6 - 10. During my long discussion I discovered that my plan wasn't eligible for the BOGO (actually the customer representative voluntarily revealed this information - and even suggested that with the plan that I have that I not switch). Something similar happened to me before with T-Mobile you would think that I would learn my lesson.

Yes, most Simple Choice plans aren't included, but they don't tell which in the promo details. That's pretty much the reason they're giving you a $930 phone for free, they really want everyone to give up the good grandfathered plans. I have the 6GB $70 2 line Simple Choice plan and I'm not trading that in for a $120 2 line One plan
Purchase a qualifying Samsung Galaxy Note8 on EIP and activate at least one new voice line on T-Mobile ONE or select Simple Choice Unlimited with unlimited high speed data and get your choice of a Samsung Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ for free after rebate. If you cancel wireless service, remaining balance on phone becomes due.

This should be a warning for any promo. Verizon did this all the time when they switched from the unlimited plans. None of the plan promos would ever apply to their grandfathered data plans.

Yea the big problem is that it's after the return period has passed is when they tell you that you didn't qualify for the BOGO and now you're stuck with a $930 bill

I had the 2 for 100 simple choice unlimited plan. When they offered a free 3rd line to swap to the tmobile one plan, I jumped. 3 unlimited lines at 33 a pop. Can't say no to That!
That said, a 6gb plan would last me a week. I'm a heavy data user so that wouldn't work at all. I'd hate having to swap between wifi routers to stay under a limit
I have 150x150 home fiber but I still keep mobile data on unless I need to Chromecast YouTube for the kids ( requires me to be on my home network).
I LOVE the 10gb of hotspot included. My trucks head unit is a quad core android unit so I use YouTube music playlists while driving ( and iheart radio ). I couldn't live with a data limit!

I have and I also have the ORIGINAL TMobile unlimited plan. Not only did I not have to change, the in store rep lied to me telling me that I would have to upgrade. I didn't believe him and called a mobile rep. Glad I did. My Visa card will arrive within 8 weeks.

Nope, I was told I was denied for the galaxy s8 bogo because one of the lines during activation did not get activated properly. Rep told me that it would be a simple fix for the rebate department to fix, hot diggity damn it was a 40 minute wait to disconnect. Spent 2 weeks trying to talk to the rebate team.
Now the note 8 is released and what do I do??? Paid half of both the lines and upgraded to the note 8...
Yeah it was a lot of money spent I could have hosted opened the extra line and gotten another BOGO but then to fuss later on to close the new line...
Regardless it was such a good idea to upgrade to the note, so much screen space just makes all then difference

I did but I refused it didn't want to fork over 700 bucks just to get 300 6 months later lol thanks but no thanks

I got a note 8 today, and am on the simple choice plan, and the "free" second phone is just costing me a $10 a month additional line that I'm gonna cancel as soon as I get the card and pay off the EIP.

They screwed me... I have to pay full price, for both devices.

I hope that your simple choice plan is considered as being a qualified plan. Mine wasn't despite having unlimited data (it was explained that the unlimited data that I have was due to a promotion therefore didn't qualify). They wanted me to move over to the One plan which would have basically doubled my bill (because I have 6 lines).

Everything worked fine here, I'm on the 4 lines for $150 Simple Choice Unlimited everything. Already received my 930 gift card too ?

You reminded me to actually submit the rebate, thanks! I ended up calling in to get the rebate, cos I didn't see how to put it in online. Turned out that the two associated lines had to have unlimited internet, which the store had *not* told me. So the nice woman on the phone added it to those two lines only, put in an adjustment so it wont cost me extra, and submitted the rebate for me. She said once I get the rebate, call in and there will be no problem removing the unlimited internet.
So the store almost screwed me over, but customer care sorted it out for me. Patience and being polite to CSRs is magic! This is why I stick with t-mobile. Their CSRs have consistently gone above and beyond for me. And I'm on the simple choice unlimited talk&text and 2.5GB data.
A somewhat old plan.

Yeah? How long since you submitted for the rebate did it take to show up?

That's good to hear that it's working out for you. However, I would like to suggest that if you don't already have some sort of written proof of this that you get it. I'm not trying to scare you but from experience one rep may have told you one thing and the next one would say that they have no record of it or that the rep gave you wrong information. Simply submitting the rebate does not automatically mean that it is approved (again speaking from personal experience). But I will also say that if you have a truly unlimited plan that you should be good.
P.S. I've been with t-mobile over a decade because of the same reason that you have mentioned - CSRs have consistently gone above and beyond for me - but you still want to be careful; especially it being due to it being a $1000 transaction.

You should be good to go. I'm waiting for my note 8 to arrive this week. I did the trade in with Samsung for $400 off. I'm a little nervous based on others reporting that they got screwed over in the past. However, it went well when my wife did it in September for $425 off and a bunch of freebies.

I thought about doing the samsung deal, but I wanted the t-mobile financing, plus I wanted to walk into the store and walk out with my new toy same day.

I got the samsung interest free financing which comes with the ability to upgrade to the next samsung galaxy if it is half way paid off (similar to T-Mobile Jump)
