Best Buy OG Evo Trade in !!!!!

Hmm, just activated my evo to replace my sons evo shift. Bought the evo shift at BB anyway, wonder if they will take that?
Looking at Best Buy's website, they'll give $80 for the Evo Shift ($30 more than the Evo).
 
Interesting.... Today my Father in Law stopped in at the Best Buy Mobile store that just opened in our mall here in Ann Arbor and they are advertising any Sprint phone buy back = 100.00 off new Evo. Weird!

Any links or photos of ads would be great. You are not the first one to mention this but I can't find anything about this anywhere.

Ok look, I contacted a couple best buy store in Ft. Lauderdale area and everyone advised me on the same thing. U get the instant $50 for the pre-order but the condition of the OG EVO 4G determines if you get the full $50 gift card. So u can basically say that its a trading in your OG EVO, will get you a gift up to $50.

The website shows the qualifications: Good $50, Fair $30, etc. So basically you receive between $80-$100 discount. These stores also advised that they are not stacking this deal with the Freedom promo from February 2012. Also some stores are not allowing you to use the the extra $50 gift card for just trading in the OG EVO 4G with this transaction as well.

So lets review cause each store has something different and this release is this most confusing one yet. Before anyone says they got something different. Best Buy is trying to allow the least amount of savings on devices because although they receive a percentage for the sale, the want to profit from the accessories as well. The bottom line price before taxes and with other gift card is between $80-$100. Some stores are allowing customers to stack the deal basically adding the extra $50 gift card from just the purpose of trading in the OG EVO 4G (this is before judging the conditioning amount) and/or the Freedom promo for additional savings. All in all, if you get the right store, you can get it down to about $0-20 before taxes. If not, sorry. Makes sense......???????? If you have any questions.....holla it me because the 18th is getting close and for the ones who need to call Sprint to run the early upgrade for buyout do it before the that promo is over.

I'm getting $110 buyback for my Evo 3D, then $50 gift card. I will be asking about the phone freedom $50, that would be a wash!
 
Sorry. I am selling it back. I bought their buy back program. Its less than 6 mths old. Did the same with my evo 3d

Where are you people located that these Best Buy stores are stacking up these deals. The Sprint buyback is only giving $70 for the OG EVO and $90 for the 3D. Everyones' post is about some store stacking and combining the promos.

This is a BuyBack Program that Best Buy started last year, here is the link Buy Back Program
 
So you bought a mobile device off contract with Best Buy and spent at least $700 with Including the buyback program. Cause $280 is steep and I don't see Best Buy allowing you to walk in and get a free phone (EVO 4G LTE) $100 bucks in girt card

Did you read any of the top of page 2. I took the time to explain how people are possibly going to get this free/nearly free with trade in of the OF EVO
 
I read that but what I'm saying is, not only are customers confused but BB Mobile Reps are as well. And everyone is signing up to what they understand the deal to be.

At one store, one of the Reps explained to me exactly what you said on getting the deal down to $49. But another Rep stated that you cannot use the $50 gift card for trading in the OG EVO 4G, at the same transaction but you can use it towards accessories (which to me is to get customers to buy the overpriced crap). Forcing customers to purchase the device for $100 and also purchase accessories.

On top of that, stores are stacking the Freedom promo to the deal so there basically getting the device for free. I haven't found a store who knows what there doing and I'm in the Ft. Lauderdale area.

I agree that Best Buy is just one big cluster *uck of possible savings with these damn gift card promos ... I went into my Western Washington store to pre-order and see what I could get ... The first thing is they knew nothing about what was posted to the Best Buy website and or nothing about what was a promo 3 months ago or a year ago ... 2 associates needed to call up supervisors to get my pre-order straight ... I got the $50 (Pre-Order)GC, then $110 (Trade-In) for my Evo3D, Then I asked about the $50 GC Just to upgrade through them on any phone and they both were dumb-struck ... Again they texted and called the "Boss" but received no answer ... I will call today about that last $50 GC.

( All Stackable ) Seattle (South Center Best Buy)

HTC EVO 4G LTE $199
Pre-Order -$50
Trade-In(Evo3D) -$110
Upgrade Promo -$50

Final Cost ------ Receive $10 Gift Card and New Phone
