PSA: Best Buy Price Matches Amazon, effective early October

[lazarus2297]

But what phone is not available in store at best buy?

for some reason the DNA is not available in store but only on BBY.com... you can have it shipped to the store and pick it up there but I don't see the point in that..

The only point would be to try and negotiate price-matching once you got to the store, as it does not extend to online-only cell purchases (I contacted 2 CS departments to verify this when I stated it earlier in some thread, they were adamant on that). But that's a wasted effort, as Target has it at Amazon's price; hope the price keeps for the weekend, I ordered thru Verizon and cancelled, so it'll take a few days for my upgrade eligibility to reactivate.

Will Amazon or Target give this price for an early upgrade? I am eligible for early upgrade, but my actual 24-month contract won't end until April. (Got a Thunderbolt now & this phone is very attractive)

 

[Who?]

It should

Or...the person that helped you had the ability to do it. (They're called key-carriers and can authorize price matches, etc.)

I'm not sure about that..

Yes, they both will. I just ordered two from Target using the above link and I am in the same boat you are. I'm eligible for an upgrade but my contract still has several months to run and I didn't have any problems getting the $149.99 for both my phone and my wife's. I also didn't have to pay any sales tax whereas Amazon wanted to tack on sales tax.

They were. That's the only way they can do it.

Nice - now I just have to wait for my family to give me my Xmas present! (Hope this price lasts another week)

Verizon is bullsh**.. I ordered the phone on Wednesday, and literally an hour later I cancelled it so I could get it at Target; the guy assured me it wouldn't ship out, assured me I wouldn't have to pay restocking fees, assured me my upgrade would reset, etc etc. Guess what came in the mail today?

Not going to bother screwing around for $50 since it's already here--and they'll probably charge me fees for returning it even though it was their error--but how typical of their crappy service.
