Any reason not to buy a Note 5 @ Costco tomorrow including $250 Costco gift card?

[Alan FL]

It's the best deal I could find.
It will cost $29/mo. for 24 mos. We are currently on More Everything plan paying $40/mo. access fee, which will drop down to $25/mo. with this monthly payment. With that $15 savings/mo. plus the gift card, the phone ends up costing $86 out of pocket at the end of 2 years.
They only carry black or white, not selling the gold version yet, which is what I would have wanted. Deal ends Nov. 29.
Am I missing anything here, or is this a pretty good deal?

It's a solid deal. My wife broke down and finally decided to stop holding out for a white 64 gig, and went with black. Keep in mind, 32 gig white, and 64 gig black are hard to find at Costco. We also got a nice TYLT battery pack included

I should have asked about availability of white 32gb while there.
Oh well, we'll find out tomorrow. They only had black models on display.
The battery pack is also included.

I got mine there. Wanted a 64, color unimportant. I did get the last one, eventually... from the Marlboro NJ store. For $250, I'd do it again. Easily the best deal I could find. Had to return the following week for the accessory bundle... which was gone and the batter pack subbed out. NBD.


It did take a while to activate the phone. The guy was getting ready to change the sim card, but then it started working when I turned off the old phone (GS4). My contacts didn't all transfer right away. The smart switch didn't work. That could happen anywhere.

I did end up android beaming the files from my old to new. That was easily the most frustrating part. Not related to Costco.

Good Luck.

I know the $250 is tempting but Verizon will have the Note 5 for $12.59/month on Black Friday.

The Black Friday deal at Verizon is including the $300 trade in any smartphone

I got my unlock Note 5 32gb for $550 on eBay like a month ago. Check online they sometimes have better deals than what stores offer.

Hey Mike unfortunately you can't use that on Verizon

I inquired about this deal at a Verizon store, and it's only for NEW customers switching from another carrier.
At least that's what I was told.

I'm gonna give it a shot. The worst they can tell me is no and I continue rocking the S6.

Bought the Note 5 today @ Costco.
Will be receiving the $250 gift card in the mail.
Also changed from the More Everything plan to the Verizon Plan, so instead of paying access fee
of $40, now will be paying $20/mo. This $20/mo. savings almost pays for my phone (phone is $29/mo.).
Then when you consider the gift card, I am actually making money on the deal over 2 years.
Everything went very smoothly.
I believe this deal ends Nov. 29.

I bought a iPhone 6S off Craigslist for 500, clean everything. I then purposely traded it for what I wanted in the beginning, a Note 5 on Craigslist, met the guy up at Verizon to make sure it was paid in full. ...also Verizon LTE phones are factory unlocked. I now have what I wanted, unlocked Note 5, no balance. My carrier is Metro Pcs. A little work and research and you can avoid the monthly payments the carriers want. (I just ordered the gear vr too)

I was told you can be an existing customer but it has to be activated on a new line.

I like my Sam's club $.96 note 5. No monthly payments

 

[MizWylie]

For my account they offered me a $5-8 discount from the monthly payment on all Android phones. I don't think the half off monthly payment is good until tomorrow.

Going to try and hold my horses for tomorrow.

Yes, it did say if you add a new line you get the lower price.
