Sam’s Club is now the owner of the “Best Black Friday Deal Award” for the time being. According to their Black Friday ad, they plan to sell the Samsung Galaxy S3 for 96 cents ($0.96) the day after Thanksgiving. Yes, if you are a part of the club, you can pick up the hottest phone of the year for less than a dollar, as long as you are down to sign a new 2-year contract. Talk about a steal.
They will also have the Galaxy Tab 2 7″ and 10″ tablets for $179 and $299, respectively.
Lol good luck grabbing a phone! they will only have a certain amount in stock to sell for a freaking dollar!!
You cant beat best buys deal right now $99.00 with a new contract!! :thumbup:
$50 @ best buy.

I've worked for Sam's Club over 9 years.. Most stores will have more than enough.. Last year most of our .96 cent phones lasted a few hours.. Plus your biggest lines will be at walmart and other retailers.. I say if you want a sg3 for .96 cent.. You have a big chance in getting one on black friday..
I know a few people who will be out there lol. Luckily I picked mine up on launch... 1st person to own an S3 in my area

I want to get one for my wife but our upgrade doesn't kick in until Dec 1. Any chance they would waive the early termination fee for 8 days?
If not then paying $50 for a GS3 is still an awesome deal once I add the ETF.

Only way to find out is to call them and inquire. Let us know how it pans out for you though.

Refurbs?
I stopped by the the Sprint kiosk at my local mall today. The price for the S3 upgrade was $199.00. So I told the salesman about some of the Black Friday prices and the fact that Walmart had it for $149.00 a few weeks back. His response was that the phones at Walmart and Bestbuy were refurbs. I don't think that's the case, but how about it? Does anybody know if these vendors are actually offering refurbished units?

Course he would say that. He's bitter you weren't going to buy from him.
I'd suspect that it would almost be illegal to not advertise them as being refurbished.

The small print picture is at the bottom of the main advertisement. I'm assuming it's for everybody everything on sale. But I could be wrong.

I think The 96¢ deal at Sams Club will probally be just for new contracts. I say that because if you check the Sams Club web site now they do have 2 different prices for the S3 depending on whether its a new contract vs. being eligible for an upgrade on an existing contract. Currently it's 99.99 vs 149.99 respectively. So my guess is that if they are offering 2 tier pricing now (actually 3 tier since you can also pay full price with no contract), the 96¢ price is likey the lowest and I wonder what the price will be for an upgrade. Still 49.00 or 99.00 is a good deal seeing as I paid 199.99 each for 2 S3's a few months ago. Iv've got a third number on my account and its eligible for an upgrade.

About that Sams ads is bad news for me becuase here in Puerto Rico Sams only sells AT&T and T Mobile phones.

I'm guessing price matching from other stores wouldn't be an option with this ad because it's a 'club' store.
I could see a Best Buy sales manager having a stroke when they see 50 GS3s being sold for $47 less than what BB will be offering on black friday. :laugh:

It sure doesn't seem like Radio Shack knows what's up. They didn't have a clue what phone I was referring to and told me to check back on Thursday afternoon after I said SGS2, Epic Touch, and finally Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4G! Wow..really?

Its confirmed at Best Buy for Friday but price is still unknown. Was gonna be 199.99 but may be 149.99 thanks to walmart
I've heard confirmation of BB Friday morning at open, should be the regular $199.99 price with contract that is being advertised. From my experience, BB hasn't dropped prices until pretty much everybody else has, but I guess it's never too late to change
They will price match though!

Really?? Do you think they'll actually do that since the price being advertised from Wally World & Wirefly were for pre-orders? Wouldn't be a pre-order if we picked it up after release at BB...I have a feeling (being a former employee of theirs) that they won't budge a nickel.
That's just my feeling though, anyone feel differently?

Im actually hoping that the 149.99 walmart price will hold through to the brick and mortar stores. Then with a little luck you can persuade best buy to match. Otherwise 199.99, but Im not sweating it too much. Im going to either sell or trade my evo, which should help me out quite a bit. Then with having to carry a phone for work they will kick in some monies for a new device every year. I just have to find someone to have one in stock on launch. I just got off the phone with my sprint store, which is a sprint store by wireless paradise, and the said that they are backordered bad. He then proceeded to tell me Sammy didnt make enough and that Im going to quite lucky to get one on launch.... I will be the worlds saddest panda if I dont get one of these. I havent been this hyped about a device since lite brite.

Employees cant buy them till next month unless your doing a straight up contract like a normal customer. But we just looked in RSS (inventory) and it looks like 5 per store. My buddy watched them unload and from the truck to the cabinet 5 was it.
BTW, 199.99 You may get your store to price match walmarts 149 but its gonna depend if the manager will honor it. I like my 2nd job so Im not pushing the issue.
I knew that 199 was a joke !

I have no doubt it's the 32GB version. I don't think it will cost that much on Verizon though. However I was willing to pay close to that for shipping it overnight from Espansys so, I would pay it for a 32GB model.

Best Buy's off contract Verizon phones are usually quite expensive. That $799 price is being inflated by Best Buy. Anyone thats going to buy this phone off contract should just get it from Verizon, probably a bit cheaper.

I have no inside knowledge, but my hunch is that VzW's off-contract price will be about $650. And I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon sells it at a subsidized price of $150 before the end of this year.

Hopefully amazon will have a lower price. Also costco is usually cheaper or they throw in accessories. We got my wife's stratosphere for $30 with accessories vs $150 at Verizon. They had the razr for $289 with a dock and car kit.

Sam's Club in store price of $48.88 for new contracts or renewals. Got one yesterday. Sam's Club does require a membership, they start at $40.
not a bad price for someone set on getting a new e4gt on contract. good share!
The only Samsung phone i see is the galaxy 2. The only phone i know that is called that is the t-mobile phone. It says club price of 580. Am i missing something? Aren't they supposed to be cheaper? Sprint wants 500 full price. Best buy is the same way, more expensive full price than Sprint.
Why would anyone shop at Sams Club? Do you hate the working class or just mom and pop stores? XDA should ban all references to Walmart and Sam Club. I can see why their phones are cheap when they pay their workers peanuts and give the literature on how to get food stamps and welfare.

I guess you did. $11 cheaper than Amazon wireless before tax. That 11 is including the 40 for a membership to sams. I suppose if you want to be a **** about it, you could get the membership, buy the phone, leave for a while then come back and say you don't want the membership any more and want a refund. At least their website says you can get a membership refund. I didn't look into the details and conditions for the refund yet.
I'm guessing Amazon wont have tax and get free shipping. If you don't get the refund then its almost the same price after taxes if you get it at sams.

As far as I know you're correct but, that's no reason to hate them. They bring jobs to places that need them. Yeah they don't pay the best but, it's either no job or have a job. In this economy a job is a job.
I was able to get my upgrade early by buying out the last 6 months of my contract. it cost me 65 bucks that they bill to the account.
Radio shack has a deal right now on the nexus for 199 but you get 100 off when you trade in a old smartphone.
I ask the guy if there going to do the same with the sg3 and this is what he told me. after the first two weeks of sg3 sales there going to offer the same deal around the first week in july. I'm guessing the sunday ad will have it that 2nd sunday in july.
so I bought the nexus and got my 100 bucks off so it was only 99.99. he then had me come back today and return it but was able to transfer the credit to my pre order of the sg3. bam sg3 99 bucks LOVE IT.... but yeah now I have to wait for it.
Hope it works for anyone who try's.
Badassss info! Do you know the max amount of months they will let u buy out????

Early Buyout has been going on for a while now.
I can confirm that. Sprint told me the same thing when I called to turn on caller ID blocking since they are now wanting to disclose your full name on caller ID instead of just your number.
For those of you who have done this, is it as simple as calling Sprint, buying the rest of your contract time, and then somewhere like a radio shack or best buy having it in their system that you are upgrade eligible?

When you call make sure to ask for account services. Otherwise you'll be bounced all over the place.
Hell of a deal considering I just sold my Epic 4G touch for 350 on craigs.

When you call make sure to ask for account services. Otherwise you'll be bounced all over the place.
Hell of a deal considering I just sold my Epic 4G touch for 350 on craigs.
220+135+35 activation fee = 370. I got my phone for 40 bucks outta pocket YaY

So just tell whoever answers that I need to speak with account services?

I can confirm that. Sprint told me the same thing when I called to turn on caller ID blocking since they are now wanting to disclose your full name on caller ID instead of just your number.

I bought out my contract for $45 bucks
I think I'm in the $125 range (eligible for upgrade May 2013), if I buy out the rest of my contract now do I have to upgrade immediately or can I let it ride awhile and see what I want to do?

why not let a few months go buy and drop to a lower tier then?

My original upgrade before the $45 buyout was August 1st. They told me if I don't upgrade early by that date, they would refund the $45. Hope that helps.

Do you know when this is supposed to start?
But this is for new customers only...
My contract has been up since october but I'm under my uncles account, so would I be able to create an account and just port my number over?
Also, I believe Best Buy will pricematch anything on walmart.com till the 31st...so people who really will sign up for the first time, I believe this will be the cheapest route..I've never seen it so low lol

when exactly did you see this and what zip code did you use? When I do a search theydont show the price. Meaning if Best Buy cant confirm the price its a no go. Ironically they show prices on other phones but when I use my zip it shows no available which means I need a zip code that shows a state that has them... Mine is in transit from BB after returning it back to Sprint Store for $50 less at Best But THEN of couse I see this. Not too late though since I havent even received it yet
Thanks

Is this the best deal I'm going to find for a renewal? The only thing that bothers me is that it's a 1-2 week wait on Amazon.

Got a kick out of that. Told me the same thing - heck, even the order confirmation told me it would be end of January. Got them about a week later (on Christmas eve)

I wouldn't worry about the shipping time for Amazon. I just switched from Verizon to Sprint because of this Amazon deal for $99 and it originally said 1-2 week wait. On Dec 27 looked at my account and it said that it wouldn't ship until Feb 4th, the next day I received an email stating it was shipped and was here 2 days later.
I'm so glad I got this phone for $99, makes the sting of not having 4G any more better since this phone is fast as hell. Now I just need to sell my VZW Nexus.
Best buy denied me! No online only price match.

They can't deny online price, they can only deny the new price for a renewal. I would go back and if they still say no talk to the store manager and if still nothing then call the 1800 number. The online price match is a best buy policy that may be extended for the rest of the year. My local store said if they take it away they will still honor it. Good luck and don't just let them do whatever they want. Fight for it.

I would buy it from walmart.com, especially if you live in a state like my state (CA) that charges prices on the full retail amount of the phone before discounts. a phone like the Note 2 is easilly a $50+ tax, but on walmart.com, they don't charge tax so it's $139 out the door. I bought mine last month when it was $199 ($299-$100 walmart gift card) and was charged no tax on the phone.
