Did anyone order from Best buy and checkout show a $200 BB gift card included ? The best buy web site shows you get a $100 best buy E - gift card with purchase of pixel or xl. Well when I ordered my black xl with payment plan on a new account the offers came up on checkout one was a $200 gift card and the 2nd option was the $100 gift card. The $200 gift card option listed something about available until 11-13-16 I believe. Any way I picked the $200 gift card I just hope that is what I get just because their web site only lists the $100 e gift at the main purchase pages. Unless the $200 one is a verizon one ?
Any way I ordered the black xl 32 gig model. I wanted 128 gig but bb does not sell the 128 gig. Another odd thing is during checkout verizon required me to port in a number from another carrier ? Maybe that is part of the $200 gift card. Guess I should have taken a screen shot of those offers for my proof so I for sure get the $200 gift card and not the $100 e gift card which is a bb one.
Also odd thing they showed the black xl 32 gig in stock at local best buy stores where the ship options showed 11-2-16 for 2 day shipping and 11-7-16 for free shipping those being expected delivery dates, so they estimated mine for pick up today being ordered today, where verizons web site lists them as being back ordered until 11-9-16 but this bb deal is better with the gift card plus a free chromecast.
So if anyone wanting a good buy check out best buy and chime in if you got a $100 or $200 gift card coming and if you can tell if your gc is a bb or verizon one ? The $200 one listed verizon promotion so hope the $200 is a verizon one and I will add it to my verizon bills lol.

This cool be why you seen the additional 200 applied. Their giving 100 GC for any Verizon phone purchased on device payments...
The $200 gift card is for a new line of Verizon service at Best Buy. It's been going on for a couple weeks. I bought an iPhone 7 in store last week and received it at the time of the purchase. The gift card is for Best Buy, and I was able to use part of it to pay for tax on the phone. The following terms indicate the gift card will be delivered after an online purchase. The $100 would also be a Best Buy gift card, but it would go to Verizon customers that are not getting a new line of service.

I originally tried to order the phone on bestbuy.com and the first way i did it it gave me the option of a $150 gift card then i tried to open a new line on my account and it gave me the option for a $200 gift card..... couldnt get it to work online but went into a store and got my new pixel xl with a $200 gift card....... Last week i dont think the offer is valid anymore though

No actually the $100 best buy e card was the first option, where option # 2 was the $200 gift card. After searching the net I believe the $200 gift card is also best buy one. I wish it was a verizon gift card to pay my verizon bills with lol.

The list the offer for $200 gift card is extended to 11-13-16 I believe but it is still in effect for sure.
I had a not so fun experience with best buy on line order of a black pixel xl 32 gig. I ordered like 6am on saturday morning. The web site listed in stock and for pick up that day so I pulled the trigger. So like 9:12 am est saturday morning I got an email and text both showing the order was ready for pick up. So I made a 35 mile drive to get to the store to pick it up. I was there an hour guy couldnt find the phone then they tell me oh only the free chromecast that came with the order was there lol. I was like wtf your email and text did not list only part of the order was in. So I asked to speak to the sales guys boss and explained hey this was not right I feel that you should be able to give me a gift card for wasting my saturday afternoon and my wasted gas. He said oh I cant do anything. So I said I would like to talk to the store manager and he refused also said he cant just give out gift cards. I said then how about you at least take back the chromecast that I really had no use for and just give me a gift card for its value and he said he couldnt, I think doing that was not being anything but fair and no deal. So I was going to write down his name and he gave me his best buy business card. I said ok I will call customer service about it when I get home.
So I did and the woman looked my order up and she said yeah shes not sure why their web site let me select store pick up when the pixel xl is on back order until 11-7-16 She apologized and said there was nothing she could do on the phone not shipping until 11-7-16, and I said well I just feel like I got the run around and wasted my saturday afternoon and 70 miles of driving gas as 35 miles each way. So she offered me a $50 best buy gift card I was shocked as I was expecting less of a gift card maybe half that. I thanked her and said I felt that was more than fair and I really appreciated it.
The gist of it is best buy at their stores no longer have a 100% customer satisfaction policy anymore, and either cant do anything to make things right or they just plain refuse to, but if you call customer service they are more willing to listen and be fair and make things right, well actually for me they more than made things right which I appreciated what they did to fix the situation.

How did you manage to use it to pay the taxes ? I thought they list you get the card after you activate as in they send it to you ? Or did you purchase out right if that makes any difference as mine is on the payment plan lol
I ordered Saturday ( yesterday ) from Best buy and I just already got the $200 bb gift card emailed to me. I was shocked figured they would wait to send it until after the pixel xl was activated. A nice surprise, the card being a verizon gift card would have been more nice but hey cant look a gift horse in the mouth lol or at least we shouldnt lol. Would be nice if you could use a best buy gift card on your verizon bill and being bb is a verizon dealer they could really do that if they decided to and verizon just credit back bb for it, but yeah that would be having your cake and eating it too lol.
Use it this way
A BB gift card is good for anything BB sells, purchase a visa gift card with the BB card
Problem solved profit.

I bought it on the payment plan, since that was listed in the terms, and the Best Buy outright price is higher. If you buy in store you get the gift card at the time of the phone sale, so they allowed me to use the gift card on the sale. When I returned the iPhone the Best Buy employee only found two stores in my state that listed having the Pixel currently in stock.

Mine had the pixel xl listed in stock but it was wrong and its on back order. I got an email the day after with my $200 best buy gift card. It definitely makes up for the phone being overpriced.
My best buy order of my pixel xl 32 gb that I placed on 6am est saturday the 29th was estimated to be on back order until 11-7-16 then yesterday the 31st I got a ship email from best buy and the UPS tracking showed it actually got picked up. Crazy thing is I didnt pay extra for shipping but they must have given me free overnight shipping because UPS shows its for delivery today so yeah that is one day shipping lol. Very much a nice surprise

Yupper.
Sick of waiting, figured I'd give the 611/Retention scheme a try and was surprised when the CSR went ahead and processed my order with no hassles whatsoever. Never even had to do the whole retention thing. Retail price was $350 -$50 loyalty discount w/ waived upgrade fee and $50 MIR(form being snail mailed she said).
Take it for what it's worth...there still isn't an "official release date for retail" and maybe I just got lucky, but there it is.

The core stores will be able to sell the Tilt 2 on the 18th of this month.
On the phone ordering now, but they have to go through their system and not the website. Through retail/611
got mine thru CSR too. ordered it this morning.
I called them, tried to get transferred to retentions but they wouldn't transfer because they said that retentions is an internal department. so I asked the CS rep if I could upgrade to the tilt 2.
I told her I would go to T-mo since they sell the phone for $50 on the win-mo website, so she dropped it to 300, then took an additional 50 off for loyalty. so I paid 250 w/ MIR.
I couldn't wait any longer. ridiculous AT&T. ridiculous.
I ordered mine as well this morning and hoping it will come tomorrow since it is overnight shipping
Just ordered mine!
$350 - 50 MIR, and the CSR was very nice -- she waived my upgrade and Premium shipping fees.
Bit miffed I couldn't get it at the prices some people were getting through Premier -- or sooner, for that matter -- but I'll live.
No one is getting cheaper than that because people are just talking since no one is ready to show the receipt

What are "core stores"? Are they official At&t retail stores and not "retail partners"?
$125 Got it today
I had already posted this in another thread.
I paid the $350 +TAX will obiously use the $50 rebate. Got FedEx next day shipping for free. Got a $175 credit onto my account to offset the cost of the phone. So my price will be $125 +TAX all said and done. It wasnt very hard to get them to work with me. Since they credited the account not discounting the device I will still get to use the MIR.
Good Luck everyone. Hope to see you get great deals!

cheaper then what? i got mine for 199.99. i'll show you the receipt when i receive my phone on friday if you want.
Some stores have already gotten tilt 2s in. And some will already sell them before oct. 18th. One store here got 4 in today when I stopped in looking for a case for mine and said they would sell them today. Granted many stores may not see them till the 18th or sell them till then. You can always call around as I did to find out. I ordered mine thru rententions yesterday (I got it today 299.99 free overnight shipping plus a 50.00 mail in rebate =249.99) It all depends what rep you get, what mood there in and how generous they feel.
For those of you who are getting the tilt 2 for ~$249.99, is this with a new 2 year contract??

Hi,
Just ordered mine from 611/CSR.
Rep I spoke to gave no indication it was not available and I played along, I just want my Tilt2. Got it for $299.99 plus MIR (Had a $50 upgrade credit available)
So should have it in 2 Bus. days.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Picked mine up at a corporate store last night. I did not previously order one or have one on reserve, just called as asked. They said they received a few in their shipment yesterday (10/14 US, 14/10 for those on the other side of the lake).

How did you do that? Did you just ask them straight up or did you have to play some games with them? I'd like to know.
I just picked up my Tilt 2 from a retail store. The lady seemed more than happy to sell it to me. She said they got 3 in and she didn't seem to know anything about the 18th release date.
I did call numerous other stores before I ended up at the one that sold me the phone. One store said they only had the Pure in, another said the release date was the 18th, another said that they got the Tilt 2 in but was unable to sell it at the non-commitment price because they had so little in (I then asked her how long she thought I would have to wait before I could buy it at the non-commitment price, and she said 'about a month').
Anyway, i'm just glad I got the phone. I am loving it. The screen is beautiful and I haven't encountered any issues so far. Totally worth the $499 I paid.
Yay!!
I just got mine last night! I have a family member who works at one store and I know people from the CSR's up to the Reigonal Mgrs. They all have been told to say the 18th...a Sunday?? But they started getting shipments as of yesterday.
Some stores are going to have MS people setup Kiosks and show people the Pure and the Tilt 2.
Now... when to start flashing.
See ya Fuze... it was great while it lasted! 8)

What did you say or do to get that price + rebate?
I have a FAN and I just ordered a Tilt2 for $250 with $50 rebate.
Normally FAN phone offers are not as good as the ones offer to the public as the FAN folks gets a discount on their monthly service.
I was trying to make up my mind on a LG Expo or a HTC Tilt2. Both cost me $300. The offer of $100 rebate to Public on LG Expo is not available to FAN folks. The HTC Tilt2 was $350 but with a $50 rebate. That was yesterday! I have been checking both of these phones ever since the LG came out. As yesterday was last day of work, and the offer for rebate is before Christmas. I thought may be I’ll wait a little longer and see if the LG Expo would offer a 100 rebate to FAN customers.
This morning, I locked on to work at home. I just want to check if I could access the ATT Primer Web and saw the Tilt2 went down by $100. Needless to say, I ordered one!
Time is ticking and if folks here have a FAN, this is the window to get the Tilt2. Thought this is such a good deal too good to pass.
(Update)The price drop is good for regular customers and FAN customers.
i got mine about a week ago from letstalk.com and i made 2 cents
It was $198 with a $100 MIR and then sending in my old HTC wizard to HTC for another $100 (you may qualify for this too, head over to http://www.htctradein.com/att/ )

Thank You! I just gave my Dopod C730 to my son and I am using my back up Treo 650. I was using that to play games. It was in good working condition. I checked that link you provided and I can get a $100. What a deal!
Thank You again!
BTW, I just checked my order and it was shipped from Texas via Fedex. I'll get it by 29th.

Usually online deals aren't available in stores and when you talk to someone in the store they'll tell you the same thing.
I've read some posts about people talking to the manager in getting them to match and sometimes beat the online price but i've had no luck in doing this with the Tilt 2 and previous devices.
Plus i live in Texas and it didn't take 2days to get to me without paying extra for shipping

I've never had a problem gettting prices matches with online prices with ATT going today called and they said the would give it to me for that price actually. Maybe theyre more willing to match in la.
I did a phone upgrade from Fuze to Tilt 2 on December 1st. Price was $349 minus $50 in the rebate card so $299. Just called and complained after seeing the price cut and being (barely) within my 30-day return window and they gave me a $100 credit to my account, dropping my Tilt 2 cost to $199. Now I need to check into the HTC recycle deal and see if I can get $100 for my oldest HTC (an 8125) which would take me to $99 for my Tilt 2. And I'll still have my original Tilt and Fuze as backup phones, and maybe sell my 8525 on ebay.
Amazon have the phone for $99 with free line activation and a $50 gift card plus you can then do the HTC trade in for $100.
i work for an AT&T store and the $199.99 price is across the board for anyone
I got mine from let's talk on black friday weekend for free. without mail in rebate.
Can't you just add a line and get the phone for free, than just terminate the line for $40.00?
Walked into AT&T store here in SoCal on the day after Christmas, and got the Tilt2 for $150 with a $50 rebate ($100 net cost). Have been customer for years, so they gave me some sort of "Premier" discount. Don't know what exactly that is, but I'll take it!
I've been with AT&T a long time and still have the Cingular 8125 which I plan on trading in.
I want to upgrade to the Tilt 2 but will AT&T force me to get a smartphone data plan?
Is there a way to upgrade to a new phone with them touching your existing phone/data plan?
Yeah i know the evo is not Verizon, but they got exclusive rights at this point to sell them, and they have them on sale for 99.00! Best deal i have found so far, and obviously authentic unlike the ones on ebay. Normal price on them is 149.99, so i dont know how long they will be on sale. Supposidly some people buying the droid x's have been getting them for 50.00, but when i asked them, i didnt get any further discount other than sale price
If your not geting the droid x, you cannot get the 32gb micro sd card for $100 in the store. But you can get the 32gb micro sd card online only without the droid x for $100.
Ordered mine 2 hours ago. Overnight shipping free.
Sent from my HTC EVO
That is untrue, it is onsale in stores as well. picked mine up about 2 hours ago for 99
im assuming this is a class 2 card right?
yes class 2
I actually bought one of these yesterday, and my wife is about to freaking kill me. Anyone want it? 100 bucks and its yours. PM me for my paypal info. Verizon said its a special item and they dont do returns. Erg.

It is 32 gb. The item name, description, and sandisk item number all point to 32 gb. If the arrived unit is a 16 gb, just return easily with the invoice/email/whatever. There are no pictures on the conformation or shipping invoice anyways.
I wouldnt have ordered one if the sandisk part number refered to a 16gb card. Everything seems legit and good so far!

I ordered the full price Note 4 for Verizon on 9/25. Was scheduled to be delivered today but I just got the notice that they are out of stock. I am on the Verizon UDP with my current Note 2 still and want to keep it. I did my trade in through amazon and that went through. I am looking for suggestions on the quickest way to get a Note 4 in my hands while keeping my unlimited data plan.
I got a good deal through Amazon, $622 for the note 4, but at this point I don't want to wait for weeks to get it. Can I get it through Verizon or Best Buy and still get the rebate (mail in or instant) and keep my unlimited date plan?
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Hi, thanks.
Yep, I know there are two rebates. One required preorder by 10/22, which I obviously did through Amazon, but if I cancel I will not meet this requirement.
The other https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/tradein does not require a preorder, but it does appear to require the trade in and purchase to be on the same transaction. Since I have already had my trade in processed through Amazon, this isn't really feasible either.
I was looking at the Best Buy Option. Didn't study their spin on the rebate, and they are selling the full price phone for $749 rather than the $699 I paid on Amazon.
I'm in the same boat. I just cancelled my amazon order. I was just at best buy and they wouldn't let me buy the phone outright. Computer wanted a 2yr activation to get the $200 gift card. I showed the managers that all their flyers and ads don't say anything about that being a requirement. I was there over an hr. They did nothing except waste my time.

Moved your question thread to Q&A where it should have been created - please post in the correct sections.
Thank you.
I'm typing this from my note4 that I paid 299 for via my udp
I bought it in store at best buy and used an upgrade on a 2gb line (nationwide share plan). They said they have to activate the phone, which is fine since it went to the 2gb line. After I left the store, I popped in my udp sim card from my note 2 and voila. They're offering a bonus 200 trade in gift card for a working smart phone until 10/31, but I figured I'd hang onto my note 2 for a backup if needed. I may even buy a cheap Craigslist phone and turn it in to best buy for that gift card. $95 for a note 4 with udp ain't too shabby.
Anyone that ordered from Amazon actually get any info on shipping yet? This is kinda crazy.

I just got 10-29. Good enough I guess heh.
I was just curious if anyone was submitting a credit card price protection claim considering the Pixel 3 is now on sale and if you were successful. Any shared experiences would be helpful. I submitted a claim and hoping to get back 200$. This benefit is usually offered through your credit card company. I bought mine with discover.
Just to get this right, you bought a phone, knowing there was a global sale on a set date a few weeks later, where the phone will be reduced for a weekend/week... and you want money back?
In a nutshell...yes... it's called Credit Card Price Protection. A service offered by some major credit card companies in the US such as Discover. Basically if something goes on sale within 90 days after you purchase something, your credit card company can reimburse the difference. The more you know...btw I don't think anyone knew the price would be reduced on this phone based on previous years.
Applying the same tactics used by business and corporations is smart money management. I applaud the OP.
It should work, bank depending.

I just rang Citi (1-866-918-4670) and got $200 reimbursed off the Pixel 3XL and $39 reimbursed off the Pixel Stand (Best Buy). Bought both items from Google on Oct 17th.

I submitted a Citi price rewind request since it falls within the required criteria $200 is $200 so why not.
Hey i submitted one as well. Do you happen to have your screenshots with dates? I submitted mine and it didn't really show a date, so they said it might not be accepted.
Thank you!
