The AT&T promo for launch day is......(Glad I canceled my pre-order ;) ) - Nokia Lumia 900

Nokia Lumia 900 for $99.99 for the phone and you get $100.00 in accessories for free.
Maybe no $36 upgrade charge either; (not confirmed)
So if you haven't received your shipping info for a pre-order I would cancel and enjoy the promotion on Monday's launch.
I expect this to be confirmed at 7pm tonight via Nokia Times Square launch party, followed by $100 million TV barrage to batter the USA for the next 4-6weeks.
P.S> accessories must be compatible with the Nokia Lumia 900, Headphones....

This means you need to buy it at an AT&T store right? And is it only good on launch day or for a limited time from launch day on?

Hoping the Microsoft store matches the promotion, if not ATT HERE I COME!

Not sure how long the accessory promotion is, the source is a rep. I can only speculate on the length of the promotion, but I would think it would last more then a day. The source didn't specify if the $100 had to be used the same day or if it was a gift card or in store credit. The only thing that was specifically mentioned was the accessories had to be Nokia Lumia 900 compatible.
If you go to at$t web site and look at the Lumia 900 "compatible accessories" I count 29 items. However at least 1 item, the alarm dock would appear to not be compatible; its the " iHome iP18 Color Changing Alarm Clock Speaker "
The source also mentioned that $100 mill was being spent in the first 4-6 weeks on promotion, and another $100 mill after, but not sure how long it was to last.
On Monday, when I pick up my phone at a corporate At$t store for $106.74 after tax, I was promised $100 in free accessories and no upgrade fee. This is what I know.
I can only imagine the offers getting better now till Monday not a retraction.

If this is the case though, does that mean those who pre-ordered don't get the $100 in accessories? That would piss me off if I didn't get this deal if I was one of the first who ordered.

I hope you who pre-ordered it do get it. Id rather be pissed I didn't get my phone early, apposed to not getting it early for $99 for $236+ tax in goods, just to wait two days.
My experience with customer service is as long as you don't stop complaining and continually state your case in a calm professional manor and keep working your way up the food chain you will get what you want, with in reason.

According to a post on WPCentral, those who pre-ordered using an upgrade or new contract are eligible (at least for the North Central region).

Very interesting. Are there even $100 in accessories available yet that are compatible with the Nokia Lumia 900? Seems like you'd be buying a bunch of cases when you only really need 1.

Nice!!! glad to see. Those details match the description my source gave me. Nice find uptempo777.
Beats Audio headphones are $99 and are Nokia Lumia 900 compatible.
Also, portable back up batteries are available for ~$35 and ~$40. That may be a good pick up since the battery is not removable. I think two battery back ups and a Gel case for $100 sounds good.

Beats audio headphones are included? That's pretty cool! I hope you can order things that are not in-stock as well.

They are listed under compatible accessories on the Nokia Lumia 900 page at Att.com

Do you know if this will be all week? I need to wait till the end of the week (till I get paid) to buy it off contract, hoping I can get this deal too.

While texting my rep back and forth earlier because of some data issues, he explained to me that preorderers get the $100 towards accessories

I called 2 AT&T Stores and asked if they would have any special promotion to buy the Nokia Lumia 900 on launch date and they said they didn't know of any. They said they'll have a Nokia rep on-site that may possibly offer anything but they didn't know of anything for sure.
Any idea if they are playing dumb, are dumb, or just really don't know?

Has anyone confirmed that this is for the entire US, or only the North Central Region as originally noted? BTW, for pre-order customers (like me) you can go into a store and tell them to use "Manager Override Reason Code - LP10". That will get you the $100 credit.

Here is a copy of the store memo from WPCentral.com forums.
It looks to me that you have to sign a contract to get the promotion.
Effective April 6, 2012, customers in the North Central Region who purchase a Nokia Lumia 900 can receive a discount up to $100 to be used toward Nokia Lumia 900 compatible accessories
Minimum $50 accessory purchase required.
Offer requires a new or upgrade Nokia Lumia 900 on a two-year commitment.
Accessories must be purchased in the same transaction as the Nokia Lumia 900 purchase.
If a customer purchased a pre-order Nokia Lumia (between March 30, 2012, and April 8, 2012), the customer is eligible for up to $100 in accessory credit. The credit should be done with a manager override, discount reason code LP10.
The discount is taken off of the device (great for APO.)
The discount requires at least one compatible Nokia Lumia 900 accessory SKU and the Nokia Lumia 900 SKU (65367, 65375, 65511) to be included in the cart.
Five unique barcodes are used to issue the discount:
$60 discount barcode applies to accessories totaling $49.95 - $60.00
$70 discount barcode applies to accessories totaling $60.01 - $70.00
$80 discount barcode applies to accessories totaling $70.01 - $80.00
$90 discount barcode applies to accessories totaling $80.01 - $90.00
$100 discount barcode applies to accessories totaling $90.01 and above
The customer receives up to $100 in credit toward their accessory purchase (no cash back value if the purchase totals less than $100.)
Apple branded accessories, gift cards and iTunes cards are excluded.
The $100 accessory offer applies to Nokia Lumia 900 compatible accessories only.
This offer applies to COR only.
Merchandising
An exclusive price card backer and in-store flyer is being used to promote the $100 Accessory Credit. COR locations are scheduled to receive these price card backers to display the week of April 8, 2012.
FAQs
How long will this offer be available?
This offer will be available for a limited time only.
If my customer purchases $85 in accessories, which barcode should I use?
In the scenario, the customer is eligible for a $90 discount. Use the barcode that will discount the device $90.
If my customer purchases $45 in accessories, which barcode should I use?
There is a minimum purchase of at least $50 ($49.95) in accessories to be eligible for this offer.
If my customer purchases half of his accessories from in-stock quantities and the other half through DF, will the barcode still discount the cart?
Yes. The barcode will recognize the accessories in the cart whether they are in your store or available through DF.
Is my customer eligible for a $15 refund if he purchases $85 in accessories?
No. In order to take advantage of the full $100 credit, the customer must have at least $90.01 in accessories in his cart.
Is there merchandising to support this offer?
Yes. A Price Card backer and in-store flyer will be available to support this in-store offer.
How should we position this offer in store?
Purchase a Nokia Lumia Windows Phone and get up to $100 in free accessories.
Are pre-sales eligible to take advantage of this offer?
Pre-sales are eligible but a manager override needs to be used since the phone was purchased in a different transaction. Use reason code LP10.

I used the promo yesterday. Got a screen protector and jawbone headset which is for sale. I already ordered the gel case when I preordered and that came in yesterday. Glad I did because they didn't have much of a variety of lumia 900 specific accessories.

Lumia 900 Free for New ATT customers

http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/de...are&siteId=OOTtr9mlaCk-dLZ7mZTkyggORUcKhIoCvg
just press new to att at the bottom. Select the lumia 900 and your plan and cart will show $100 discount
Wow, they really are not ruining this one with the price.
I got the $100 dollar discount, but that discount didn't make it free. It brought the price down from $199.99 to $99.99. I think $200 is the intended retail price, but a $100 promotion bring the price down to $100.
It might be free for others, but thats the way it worked with my company discount.
Mine came out to $0 due after discount. I already got confirmation that the order was processed and sent to the warehouse for shipping
Can I take advantage of this if I am on Sprint and I would like to transfer my line to an existing AT&T plan with my family? I'm new to AT&T even if they aren't.

AT&T In Store Lumia Promotions?

Just got back from the AT&T store and had a chance to play with the 900 while I was there. Spoke with the manager for a few minutes who mentioned that there 'may' possibly be some sort sales promotion for the 900 that will soon be announced at all AT&T stores. Seemed like he knew what it was, but wasn't giving up the goods. Also he alluded to an earlier than April 8th release date.
Just throwing it out there.
Well, for what it's worth, if you go to the Nokia site they have a countdown clock. The clock points to Friday, not Sunday.
Nokia supposedly booked times square for a release party on Friday at 7pm.
For what it's worth, I stopped by two ATT stores on the way home:
One swore the launch was the 14th, and if I preordered, I'd be able to pick it up that day.
The second said if I preordered now, my phone would be available in 14-21 days according to their system.
Figure I'll just stop by on Monday and pick one up from one of the worthless ATT stores in my area. May have to stop by on Friday/Saturday as well as see what's going on, as a launch on the 8th when the stores are closed has all the employees baffled.
Promotions
My Understanding is only "Corporate" Stores are going to get the device early. I tried to preorder The Lumia 900 online as an upgrade. I could not do it online and was directed by customer care to go to one of 3 Corporate stores in my area (Fresno, Ca)On 3-30-12 to complete the order. One of the reps I know there said Nokia is pulling all the stops. All the reps in store have Lumia's, some black ones, some Cyan ones. A rep from Nokia actually came to FRESNO to train and show the features of the phone and share marketing tactics. The rep said that this was a first as all the training for other phones, including the I Phone took place at out of town meetings. He said the Nokia is going first class all the way and the promotion in store will be substantial, and was confident they would have product in store by Easter Weekend.

Is the promo free phone on new plan ? That is already known. Also Amazon has the phone for a penny. If they have something else as a promo beyond this, that would be pretty amazing.

Wish I knew, but he wouldn't say. Just said to keep my ears open as it would be announced soon. I'm hoping its something good, and not just an accessory or two thrown in.
If you wait until it's available at Costco, they usually throw in a car charger and case and tax is only charged on the price that you pay, not the retail price of the phone.
Not sure if it's going to be available at Costco on launch date though. A few days wait might be worth it though to save some extra cash and get some freebies.
Any word on the promo ?
Haven't heard anything on my end. Plan on stopping by the local att store after work to see if I can prod more info out of them.
I'll take some nifty new Nokia Lumia 900 accessories like a case or bumper.
$50.00 with 2 year contract at all corporate stores in New England (including upgrade, which I did)...
Even though their price tags say $100 (or $99.99, whatever)

Nokia Lumia 900 at Costco

Just talked to a Costco representative who said that the Nokia Lumia 900 is likely to be there on launch day but if not, it'll be there in the first week. Price is going to be $99.99.
Why buy at Costco?
You only pay tax on the sales price (instead of paying tax on the retail value) and Costco also give you a free car charger, case and screen protector. You also get 30 days to return the phone if you don't like it for a full refund.
Not too bad to wait an extra few days if it's not available on launch day.
But AT&T will be free and Amazon for one cent. Plus I heard (see posts in the same forum) that there will be special promo in AT&T stores.
Not so sure if Costco is the best deal. Plus you have to pay for a Costco Membership.

Keep in mind that the free and one cent promos are for brand new customers. It's a great deal if any one decides to switch carriers.

I tried to get 710 for my wife off contract from Costco and the wouldn't even sell it to me. I doubt they would offer it for 99$ unless you are new.
That's what I thought... so if you are new subscriber AT&T and Amazon is better deal. Not that I can buy from them, but I do live close enough to the border and if there a better deal to be had, I would want to see the details. I know off contract is going to be about $450. But if Costco is selling for $99 then I would be interested. Seems to me that AT&T and Amazon are the place to buy for new subscribers.

Does Amazon still have it for 1 cent and AT&T still free for new subscribers? I tried it a few days ago and those deals didn't seem to be available. I would go that route too but I'm adding a new line to an existing AT&T family plan so I don't think those would work for me.

Apparently it's a discount applied at final checkout so the phone is free or one cent. Obviously I cannot try it because I'm not in the USA.
Best to call up AT&T or go to the store. Apparently there is also some other free stuff they are kicking in but that's not confirmed.
Just found out that Sam's Club is doing a similar deal to Costco where they only charge tax on the sales price of the phone. They don't include all the accessories that Costco does but another option if you have a membership to Sam's Club already.

Kinda confused ...

So I was looking into buying a no contract Lumia 900, but found out that AT&T and Rogers (Canada) only sold them with contracts. Does anyone know where I can get one off contract? Been trying some over-seas e-shops, but unfortunately, no luck. Am I missing something here?
Any help would be much appreciated!

AT&T stores *WILL NOT* sell them off-contract for some initial period. I believe it's 90 days. I tried to buy a white one off-contract at 2 separate AT&T stores and was refused with that explanation. I called several others and was told the same thing.
You can, however, buy them off-contract at a Microsoft Store. Price is the same as what AT&T would charge: $449.

That's not entirely accurate, ATT&T stores does not want you to get a new Lumia without a contract but if you specify at the store that you want a "no commitment phone" they will sell it to you at $449.99 dlls. They will try to convince you to get a contract but they will sell it off-contract at the end.
How do I know?, I got mine last week and I do not have an AT&T contract.
Also if you want to get it online (this is for the people that can't go to the AT&T stores" you can get it at Amazon Wireless site for $499.99 dlls, just remember to select the "Replacement Phone" option.
Now... this is the bad part, there are no unlock codes yet for the AT&T Lumia 900... as of today of course.
Hope it helps.

this is not true. They can and do sell no contract, right now. I've seen at least 2 phones sold that way. Now, I understand each store may have discretion on how they sell the phones. But it's not written in stone.
Once they have an ample supply, they will sell the phone to anybody. For now, reserved for contract deals. More $$$ for the sales rep. Makes sense.

I bought mine off contract on launch day. I just told them that customer care said it would be fine if I bought it off contract. The sales guy checked with the manager and they sold it to me.
I bought mine from a Rogers store as well. Off contract in the first week they had them (2weeks ago). Cost was $525 + tax.
I bought mine from the local AT&T corporate store at the no contract price of $449 two weeks back without any problem. The stores are giving $100 worth of accessories free but only if you buy it on contract.

+1 to this. I bought it off a Rogers authorized dealer. Walked into the store, said I wanted to buy the 900 outright. $525 + tax and 10 minutes later, I had the phone in my hands. This was about 2 weeks after launch, at most.
I was buying a white one. No AT&T store in my area would sell one no-commitment.

TMO giving $500 trade in for Samsung 9 series

I had actually ordered yesterday direct from Samsung which was giving $350 trade in for the same phone plus $70 for accessories. I just checked my Tmo app and saw this new Promo so I cancelled the Samsung order and put the order in with TMO which is giving the trade in values for purchase of a variety of the new Samsung phones. They charged $88 for taxes and upgrade fee, then give me a $125 credit when the old phone is returned and $375 in monthly bill credits. The bottom line is that I make $37 up from TMO and then have to pay $15 a month for 24 months.
You may or may not be able to use Insider code type 3 from TMO. $200 rebate.

UPDATE: I MAY be getting the price match after all, but its not worth the drama.
A second person on chat told me they were 110% sure they were doing price matching, but you have to order first, then get the match. I went ahead and ordered and called yesterday to get the match, but they said they couldn't see it in their system yet, try later.
Called again today and was told I had to wait until the order was shipped to get the match. Spent about 20 min on the phone with them with nonsense.
After the call I decided to just cancel and buy from Amazon. Samsung's website then offered me 10% off to keep the order, so I said ok (credit applied after shipping). Theoretically I can still call when it ships and get the full price match.
Suggestions to avoid the drama:
1) buy from Samsung for $700, get 3% back from Rakuten, plus $70 instant credit on samsung.com, then cancel the order and accept the 10% rebate, OR
2) buy from Amazon for $600.

I'd rather buy from Samsung that's just me... I did the cancel thing after order on my fold 2 and got $100 back credited when they charged me for order once it shipped...if going that way you would usually get email telling you of the credit you will get at shipping... I would still chat them for the full $100 match... Don't know why they giving you such hard time... Ughhh sorry to hear it..
When I cancelled my order with Samsung it just cancelled and I was not offered any discount to continue with the purchase. Samsung was offering $350 trade in for the S9 plus $70 for accessories, which I generally find to be quite expensive at Samsung. So the $500 trade in from TMO gave me $80 more than I would have received from Samsung. Although I also like to buy direct from Samsung, I felt a little burned by them when they dropped the price of the Note 20 Ultra by $200 just three weeks after it was delivered.
When I ordered mine, Samsung told me I had to wait until it shipped. I traded in an iPhone 11 Pro, which took the phone down to $55.00 US. After it shipped I messaged them back, and they told me they couldn't refund more than I paid, so they gave me a $110.00 Samsung Credit code within about 2 hours.

SECOND UPDATE: I ended up getting both the 10% ($70) rebate for not cancelling AND the $100 price match, so yay me, I guess. So my final out the door price from Samsung was $530 USD (plus tax). That included the $70 credit at the Samsung store, which I used to buy a case and their little discount fitbit. I also got a 2% rebate from Rakuten and 1.5% from my credit card (Capitol One).
Traded in my OnePlus 6t for $500 trade in discount at T-mobile. Will pay about $9/mth for 2yrs
Once you realize that this device gets left out of their beta program, and their monthly updates. It doesn't looks as nice as it seems. October security patch was launched for all S20 devices, except the S20 FE. Beta program is the same, all S20 family devices except S20 FE. Not so appealing now.
