$50 Discount on the Galaxy S3

[sailorman2439]

I woke up early this morning like everyone else to order the S3. Later on I was on the Verizon site again and noticed that there was a $50 discount on both colors and memory options of the S3. I called customer service at 1-800-922-0204 extension 4 and they credited my account $50. I would advise everyone who ordered early this morning with no discount to do the same. Cheers.

So what did you get and what did you pay? I was under the impression that pricing was always to be $199 for 16gb and $249 for 32gb. What I was most surprised to see was a lack of New Every Two discount on an upgrade that I had been saving since 2010...

Was it the primary line? You also only have 6 months to use it after it becomes available iirc.

After the $50 credit, I ended up paying $199 for a Blue 32GB S3 plus activation and taxes. They couldn't change the transaction, but they did credit my account $50 for the next billing cycle

I actually transferred the upgrade from a secondary line. I believe I had used the last NET on my primary line to get my original Omnia way back when, but I can't recall. Oh well, this beats having to wait until November, having to chance loss of my unlimited data!

I'm still not seeing the $50 discount that sailorman2439 is mentioning (both logged in and logged out of my VZW account)

Can't find any $50 discount on the website... Maybe it's area specific. Boo :-(

 

[sailorman2439]

I can't see it anymore. I guess the discount may have been mistakenly applied to the S3 in addition to the other phones they are discounting by $50. Bummer they noticed.

I ordered over the phone and got this discount, but its as a rebate. So it will be deducted from my next bill.

I also got $50 discount on my primary line. This discount is not specific to S3, I could upgrade to any other phones and still get this extra $50 off.

I'm upgrading 2 phones to S3, my secondary line don't get the extra $50 off.

Anyone called right now after pre-ordering in the morning and gotten the $50 credit? What was the reason for the rebate?

I asked this morning about any discounts or a NE2, during my pre-order, and they said since I had used my NE2 in 2010, they don't offer it anymore.
I wonder if that's what the $50 credit/rebate is from.

If you last upgraded in 2010, you should get 1 more NE2 credit with this upgrade. When you go to upgrade again, you won't get it though.

It is called $50 loyalty discount to encourage you to renew contract at Verizon Wireless rather than going to a competitor.

Is this only for primary lines? Any such discount for secondary lines?

According to Verizon rep, the extra discount usually go into the primary line.

I just called too and got the $50 off any phone.

Just ask for customer loyalty discount

 

[jman5]

Hmm... do I simply call retentions and say that a friend said that when ordered it, he got a customer loyalty discount and ask for it to be applied to my order from this morning? My lines are secondary on fam share...

thanks

Did they just credit it to your account after the fact?
