Does this only apply to those who are due for an upgrade? Girlfriend has an OG Evo 4G, was thinking of maybe doing this for her so she can have a cool new phone.

My BB rep said that they had been giving $50 for cracked screen evos but, now that think about it, should have tried to figure out if that was for the #2 or #3 promo, could make a difference

It's actually a 50 dollar credit for the Evo along with a 50 dollar gift card, and the additional 50 dollar gift card for the pre-order deal. So you have an optional 100 dollars in gift cards, but a dedicated 50 dollar credit. Did you get any information on what state they'd accept Evos in?
You should have also found out if the salesperson would pricematch Walmart
Yes, think you may be right about the credit. The rep WOULD NOT print the employee info screen out for me but it definitely said how customer can get $150 when do all three with Evo.

I think you're right. My Best Buy already told me on the day I pre-ordered that I'd be able to stack my Phone Freedom card with the EVO Trade-In ISO offer...and this was before I knew about the $50 pre-order card. Sounds like a free E4GLTE to me!
We will see...
My Best Buy told me that no accessories need to be turned in with the EVO 4G. That includes the memory card and the charger. I was told that as long as it powered on and was in good condition, I'd get the full credit.
Hope that helps.

For their buy back program..no .i kelpt both sd cards out of 2 old blackberry curves.. It could b any phone from any carrier working or not. Sprint will give u credit for it..
Evo 3D ViperROM v.2.5 downgraded HBoot 1.5 to 1.4
Here's how it "should" work, but my local mobile manager was going to check with her district manager to make sure.
Here: It shows you get $50 credit for a new phone and a $50 gift card.
So that means EVO LTE $149 ($50 credit applied toward phone) - $50 gift card. $99
Then you look at this: Which says you get a $50 Gift Card for preordering and purchasing the Evo 4g lte. It is YMMV on whether or not they will allow that gift card to be used on the phone or if they will want you to use it on a case and some other BS. My local manager said they should let you use it on the phone making it $49

I just hope they are ok taking my evo without the original back. All I have is an extended battery back with a huge battery 
They told me it doesn't matter if it doesn't work.

I haven't shopped at best buy in several years...have the employees always been so clueless? I had to walk them through the process of preordering the phone and tell them about all the $50 credits I expect to receive on Friday. The person I was dealing with even called the supervisor on their personal cell phone and they couldn't give me a definite answer that all $150 would stack.
If they give me any trouble on release day I'm heading to Sam's Club. It will be a similar price after factoring in the $40 tax difference (in California) but I would have to go through the trouble of selling my OG EVO myself. But, at least I can avoid the pressure sales tactics of their insurance and useless accessories.

I am a little confused on the stacking and what is available, so let me explain how my pre-order fell out and get some input (thanks in advance for any info).
This past Friday I stopped at Best Buy and said I wanted to pre-order the new EVO. The rep took my info, looked up my Sprint account and plugged in all the info for the pre-order. She then got up and pulled a gift card out of the drawer and said I needed to place a $50.00 deposit down and I would be given the gift card.
I took out my credit card and another rep comes over and says I don't need to put down any money at all and shows the first rep how to enter the codes so that the phone is reserved for me. He then clicked the "email documents to customer" button and then prints out the "Preorder Agreement."
I look at the agreement emailed to me on the phone and it says the EVO will be $199.00.
I mention to the rep that I have the Phone Freedom promo from February reducing the cost by $50.00. The rep says that is in the system, but bring in the email just in case.
So, after reading all of these threads, I am a bit confused on what I am eligible for. So, what are the scenarios and the final cost.
I seem to be missing one of the possible discounts here.
1. Take the Freedom promo only and the phone is $149.00.
2. Take the Freedom promo and turn in my "gently used" OG EVO and the phone is $99.00.
3. From the other thread on price matching, get them to price match the WalMart $149.00 price and then apply the Freedom promo (making it $99) and, if I want, turn in my OG EVO and the cost is $49 for the phone.
But, then I have also read on the BB website that you get a $50 for activation.
I am trying to juggle the possibilities, so is there something I am missing here? I wondered if I should have put the $50 deposit down and got the gift card (or was I purchasing the gift card as a condition of pre-ordering the phone as my preorder agreement states in the tiny print "Purchase of a gift card is required to complete the reservation process."
Again, thanks for any input in advance.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Phone is $200 and comes with $50 gift card making it $150. Turning in EVO gets another $50 plus a bonus $50 making it $50. Then your phone freedom (lucky! I missed out
) will get you another $50 off. So, you will just be paying tax.

That "should" work, assuming they let you stack it all. My local store is waiting for a response from the district manager.
Best Buy has waived the $50 deposit requirement for the time being. But a heads up they give the phones out to people first come first serve. So if 70 people preorder the phone and they only get 50 you are SOL. But trust me putting the $50 down in advance doesn't fix that, they still do first come first serve with preorders.
As far as the deal goes, you can forget price matching. With all the other gift cards they have added to this deal, there is almost zero chance they will allow it. You could possibly ask, but it is pretty unlikely.
So what can you hope for? If everything stacks as it should: $199 - $50 Freedom Promo - $50 credit for trading in OG Evo - $50 GC for trading in OG Evo.
$49. But they are also offering a $50 gift card when you activate your new phone, and they may or may not allow you to use that GC on the purchase. So your total would be just taxes.
From what my local manager said, they are offering that extra $50 off the Evo 4g LTE because they have no way to remove the activation fee you will get from sprint any more, so they are offering this to customers to make them happy. But it will be up to your local store as to whether this all stacks. As you can tell Best Buys aren't all run the same.
My local Best Buy had a big sing "Ask how you can get your Evo 4G LTE for free"
This is what they said
Phone 199.99
Gift Card for Pre Order -50.00
Trade in OG Evo -100.00
Phone Freedom Gift Card -50.00
That gets you down to 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000
No reason to even bother with price matching from other vendors.
Even better I am trading in my Epic Touch +349.00, I will walk out of the store with money

$100 for trade in of the Evo 4G? Why I'm I hearing, and seeing $50 for trade in?
