I you're a student and on Sprint, this might interest you.
http://www.studentrate.com/STUDENTRATE/all/get-all-student-deals/Sprint-Student-Rate-Member-Discount--/0
Is this one of the discounts they're discontinuing next month?
Read the fine text: Has to be used online, and from what I gather, you'll basically be renewing your contract for another two years, signing a new contract, or adding a line (see first consequence).
While 23% is nicer than the 20% I get through working for a municipality, I'll stick with my 20% for now. Thanks though!
They originally offered 15%, which I signed up for at first, then about a month ago they upped the discount to 23%. Think they also have a T-Mobile 25% discount. All you need to sign up is a .edu email addrress. Doesn't even have to be yours, just get someone to let you use it.
Now I get 25% off recurring fees per month and 50% accessories through work :O
I wanted this deal but the EVO's been sold out online since the release.

Fortunately I ordered online at midnight from the studentrate site on release day and had an EVO 3 days later. I feel bad for people who have been waiting 3 months. With the 23% discount my bill is $70/month after taxes and everything. It kind of takes the sting out of the $10 charge, but the thought of paying $10 less with another smartphone just brings the pain right back.
Any other discounts that I dont have to resign 2 years for? I just got the Evo and im paying 100+ a month on this 79.99 play ugh, help!
Any way to get the student discount by calling?

If you just bought your phone and service with Sprint, I suggest hopping on a discount soon because it will only extend your contract for a month or however long you've had your phone. It doesn't add 2 years to the end of your contract, it just starts a new 2 year agreement. Unless you already had service with Sprint, you won't be adding much to the length of your contract if you do it soon.
I bought my Evo through Studentrate when it was first released and have the 15% discount. Are you saying that I can somehow switch that to a 23% discount without buying anything? Anyone actually done that and if so, how?

I don't remember exactly how I did it, you just click the link for the discount at the studentrate site. I think down at the bottom of the RI Sprint page it will say something about adding a discount to a line. Then you enter your info and Sprint will notify you if you qualify. YMMV.

Yes it can be done. S.W.I.M. signed up with the 15 percent discount and as soon as the 23 percent discount became available...he migrated to it.
Actually what you should have done, since you are a member over there, is read the 30+ page thread about this.
you dont need to purchase your phone through them or extend your contract. I got this discount directly through sprint, it was 15% when i first signed up back in october. I had to be very persistent, it took me more than one call. You also have to have the primary account holder be the owner of the .edu email address. I will try to get them to increase my discount to 23% now that it is a higher discount, maybe they did it automatically I didnt check my last bill yet.

The normal student discount is 15%, but there is a discount only for members of a certain Rhode Island education association that is 23%. Not every student is eligible for the 23% so I doubt Sprint increased your discount. When you sign up for the 23% discount online it clearly states that your contract will be renewed, but maybe by calling a Sprint rep like you did, one might be able to keep the same contract termination date with some haggling.
I get 23% off for being a Chrysler employee. Also can upgrade every year.

Go back to your SR account, go through the same steps as when you were ordering, get the new code, then go to the website that's given, apply the code and you'll receive an email within a day stating that you've been approved for the 23% discount. I've been rocking it for 2 months and I'm kind of pissed that I'll be loosing it on the 3rd line.
Oh, BTW, did you ever get your $50/per line invoice credits for each evo - should have been on split over the first and second bill. We never got ours, so I called, chatted and finally got the $150 (3 evos) today. Now I'd like to know where that damn rebate is...

I forgot all about that invoice credit. I'm checking my last two bills and I'm not seeing any credits. Luckily I keep all paperwork and I have the original order invoice that lists the credit that I should receive. Who did you call? Studentrate or Sprint?
edit: My rebate shows that it has mailed so I'm not too worried about that. Already got and cashed the 25 bucks from studentrate.

Attaching a card during registration was optional, and they won't automatically charge you anyways:
What happens at the end of my free 1-year membership?
You are receiving a full 1-year membership to ShopRunner. You have the option to provide your payment information that would be used to renew your membership at a rate of $79 annually. Even if you provide your payment information, your account will not be billed unless you actively go into your Account Settings page on ShopRunner.com and change your status to auto-renew your membership. As a reminder, your free 1 year membership has no obligation and does not require a credit card. The 1-year membership is absolutely free.

Thanks OP :good:
On a side note, you can get an extra 3 months for free by activating ShopRunner Central. To do that, after you sign-up, go to Track All Shipments/Orders, and sign up for ShopRunner Central to get a 3 month extension. Keep in mind that this grants access to your Gmail account for them to download receipts and orders from all of your online orders, not just ShopRunner orders. So open a second tab and have the page ready to cancel the Central thing. Make sure to revoke access to your Google account as soon as you see the credited time on your account. It should be immediate.
To add/cancel ShopRunner Central: http://www.shoprunner.com/members/ShopCentral.php
To revoke access: https://www.google.com/settings/security
I'm set up until 19 March 2014 now. Note that they run these promotions at least once a year. I've had ShopRunner nearly since the day they came out, and I've never once paid a penny to them for membership. This will be my third or forth year now. It's worth it for free Dominos pizza delivery alone. lol
EDIT: I just logged in to my account to check up on things, and I noticed that they seem to have made 2013 a free year for everyone. My account does not expire until 19 March 2015 now. Yay, I suppose.
How do you add the promo code if you already have an account with them? Or do you have to set up a new account with a new email?

If you currently have an account, there's a clever way to get in on the deal. Cancel your membership, then sign up again with this deal using the e-mail address of your now cancelled account. It will retain all of your shipping history and account info and extend your membership a year from the date you re-sign up. You'll gain at least 15 months, if you combine it with my suggestion above. There's a possibility that you'll get an extra year for free if you're quick about it. It seems like they're giving away a free year for 2013 for current members. That could give you a total of 27 months for free.

My wife and I each ordered one this morning. We watched the countdown clock and clicked immediately. Looking forward to moving to it from my Nexus 5. My wife has the monstrous Sony Z Ultra GPe and thinks she will enjoy a smaller phone for a change.
I don't suppose anybody took a screenshot of it showing the $199 price for credit card price protection submissions?

promo code not working, is it a mistype? Entering it after login to amazon to pay.
Anyone confirm?
NVM confirmed dead
Just a bump here. It is listed at the normal amazon page (as of this post) for $199 and the promo code works. Just got it for $179. Thanks to above posts. YMMV not sure how long these last.
http://www.amazon.com/ALCATEL-ONETO...sim_107_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0Q1BEF2P9023PZZ644NH
Promo code only works with non-lightning deals? That's my guess only since this is a now a lightning deal. I feel terrible for ordering this at like 11:30 PM last night only for it to drop to $199 today. Did not find out about this until just now when I came back from work. Trying to see if Amazon will honor a credit for the difference now.
Edit: Eh. No joy. They won't honor it even though it's being fulfilled by Amazon. Oh well, I'm missed $25. Not the worst missed deal I've had. I just don't want to wait another few days to get the phone. Should get it tomorrow (when I'm off). Then I'll see how well it fits my usage. If everything goes well, I'll probably sell my Nexus 6 32 GB Cloud White and stick with this baby.
Could someone please upload a screenshot of something on amazon showing the $199 price? I paid $250 for mine back in may and would like to submit to chase for price protection. I'd be very appreciative.
*nevermind* I was finally able to get it to show $199.
I'm glad i checked the board tonight cause i bought the IDOL 3 yesterday at 225 so i contacted amazon and got a partial refund when it ships on Thursday.

If you purchased within 10 days you can contact amazon and they will do a price adjustment...beyond 10 days you have to use credit card price protection which lasts for 60-90 days.....I'm submitting a chase freedom price protection claim tomorrow because I paid $250 on may 20th and it's showing $199 with the previously posted $20 off promo code still working making the final price $179.99.

Odd. I called last night and the rep told me they could not offer me price protection since it comes from a third-party seller. I kept trying to explain that it was a Amazon fulfilled order. She tried contacting their "cell phone department", but I was told they closed at 7 PM (no clue which timezone). Her suggestion was that I refuse my package and try and order again. I didn't want to wait until next week for my phone considering I might even be home and it could get delayed further because no one is around to receive it.

You might just try calling back and talking to a different rep. On a bright note many credit cards have price protection now and the chase freedom one has been painless so far..I started my claim over the phone..they are emailing me the paperwork to which I have to add printouts of the sale price and my original receipt...since it's an identical item from the same store purchased should be pretty straightforward. I'm not sure I'll get the $20 off promo code but the drop from $250 to $199 would be nice.

The price was also available directly from amazon yesterday and this morning.
If you buy something in May I don't see how price protection works two months later. It is usually within a week.

Typical price protection with credit cards is a minimum of 60 days and usually 90 days. I submitted the claim for the $50 difference and didn't include the $20 off promo code so I could have purchased the phone for $179.99 but trying to explain that when the sale price showed $199 on the amazon page would greatly increase the risk of the whole claim being denied so I'll take my $50 and be happy.
Citi Price Rewind : 60 days and they check the price FOR you at most major places when you submit a "price rewind". I've gotten money back from laptop chargers to laptops...and now hopefully a smartphone.
Discover has price protection for 90 days.
Chase Freedom: 90 days.

U can also buy a good BT to headphone adapter to make any wired headphones wireless.

I can see folks loosing a dongle easy enough though...

Well,,,,u dont pay $100 a year to Google for speedy delivery...do ya? Amazon spoils up too much.
And no surprise that it takes longer for orders to ship when a big sale or price cut happens. They are probably overrun or backordered.
Once the Pixel 2 comes out, Google will only sell the 1st gen until no stock..and not make any new ones....I believe that is what happened with the Nexus devices....i have been told anyway.

I thought that they doing the sale just to get rid of the last years pixel model? It is really good for me actually because the only reason why i didn't upgrade my n6p last year is because pixel was too expensive but now its around 560$. Hopefully they are going to do the same thing next year for the 2.
