I tried to pre order, but I want the installment plan. Customer service said I have to go in store to do that... Not able to do that on their Web site. Guess I'm heading down to BB today.
I am thinking they want you in the store for the memory card because activation of the line is required. I got a feeling that because i am not doing new activation or updating a carrier plan and buying outright i will not be eligible for the SD card. Best buy pulled this crap last year. The $200 gift card was only for new activation customers not buying outright. However, i was still able to get the free wireless charger.

Why do they only offer the large size band? Seems stores are going to field lots of people needing to exchange for a smaller size...
Verizon says UPTO a $300 credit. My galaxy S6 is only good for $165 trade in credit.I looked at both Verizon and Best Buy pre-order and found that the Best Buy deal wasn't really such a deal.
At Best Buy you get to choose a Fit2 or a EVO+ 256GB card but have to pay $349.00 up front.
At Verizon no gift but you have an upfront payment of $0.00 and you can trade-in an old phone for a $300.00 credit to your monthly billing account.
I do believe I will wait to see what the Gold unlocked version looks like before doing any purchasing.

When I picked up my s6, the free wireless charger was picked up at the same time as the phone. For pre-orders, they get the same amount of sd/fit2 as was ordered. Maybe a slight variance to cover people changing their minds.So if you order in a best buy store today, do you walk out with your bonus item or do you get that when you pick up your phone?

However, if you are trading in a listed phone you get a coupon code that gives a $300.00 credit no matter the value of the trade in. Same deal as for the Note 5 when it came out. So check the fine print for the list of phones. If the S6 is on the list you should get the $300.00 rebate coupon. But you should check with Verizon directly to confirm.
I just got done with a chat session with Verizon, and I did not know this but for grandfathered unlimited data plan users, you can do a non-contract agreement option for a new device that lets you pay the full price of the device over the two years ($36x24=$864), OR you can get the device on subsidy for $299 + $40 upgrade fee if you sign a 2 year contract. Both options keep unlimited data though.
That puts competition on the $349 w contract Best Buy pricing! Hmmmmm... now I just need to see how capable Best Buy is at keeping unlimited data plans for customers.
Best Buy's app tonight has an add for the Note 7 preorder with a place to write your email address for preorder info as soon as it's available. I'm just wanting to see how people's (especially grandfathered unlimited data Verizon customers) experience is getting the phone through Best Buy. I'll hopefully order mine this weekend if I can get a Best Buy employee to guarantee that my plan won't be touched (as Verizon stated should be the case with their price hike this spring for grandfathered unlimited data customers).

This. No other option local corporate store is aware of. Unlimited is a dirty word to them.I am pretty sure only the payment (installment plan) lets you keep unlimited. Using the 2 year upgrade through verizon will not (unless they changed it recently)
