30% off at Best Buy Mobile

OK the $50 Best Buy gift card is back for this week for the Triumph and the Optimus V. A suggestion go to Best Buy Mobile and ask if you can get both the 30% off and the Best Buy gift card, and then try your best to convince the sale guy to give you both. Mine at first said I cannot double dip, and then I told him something about it's a week day and it wouldn't hurt to give "me" a BB gift card considering the money is going right back into Best Buy. Just talk to the sales guy, if he/she think you are cool, most likely they will enter in a code with the best buy gift card. Most associates will want you to activate at the same time, just tell them to sign you up for the $35 plan and tell them that you have a few top-up cards at home that you would want to use, so you dont have to pay the $35 in store.

Another trick you can try in getting both is offer to buy a few accessories if they agree with giving you both. Most of these stores will want a customer to buy 3+ items, so they can meet their quota for the month. You can simply return the accessories some other time or at another best Buy store later.

I've included a scan of a Best Buy Mobile ad for 30% off VM and Boost phones, bring it with you, it will be easier to get them to give it to you.

Got mine for $210 yesterday. The best hour drive i've ever taken! One question, my brother is already on the $25 plan. Can he get this deal and not lose his grandfathered plan?

yes, he just needs to swap phones

First he will have to call VM customer service and tell them to cancel the plan they activated you on in the store than you can use the "swap phone" feature on the VM website. Because if he does a swap phone without canceling, that is not possible as the same MEID phone cannot be on two different plans.

LOL, after I heard he will give me both deals, I didn't really care about the activation.

Another deal for you guys, not related to cell phone at all.
Taco Bell offers their Nachos Supreme for $0.99. Offer is valid until August 27, 2011.
Note, Excludes chicken and steak.
 
I got the 30% of deal with Best Buy Mobile (in the mall). The gave me a new phone with out putting any money on the new number. Waited a few days and called Virgin Mobile and have them cancel the new number and switched the phone out to put on my existing Virgin Mobile number. So got the 30% and kept my number.. I like it. Also got a fast charging car charger and silicone cover both Rocketfish branded for $30 (Together)
