Major ymmv. Best Buy terms explicitly state no online price match for contract phones



" The Guarantee is limited to one price match per identical item, per guest and does not apply to: Contract mobile phones sold by any online retailer"


Best Buy Low Price Guarantee - BestBuy

Based on the first paragraph of that statement though, BB does traditionally price match Amazon. I'd be curious to know how many other people have been able to get this price at BB as I am still waiting to get mine and would rather get at BB than wait for Amazon to ship... damned this necessity for instant gratification

Read thew exclusions:

"The Guarantee is limited to one price match per identical item, per guest and does not apply to: Contract mobile phones sold by any online retailer, the online prices of retailers not listed, the online prices of third party vendors (Marketplace vendors) on designated major online retailers websites..."

I do realize that, I was thinking it possible that some BB employees might not due to the fact that they price match Amazon on other items. Just curious if there have been many instances of this, really.

I bought mine at best buy for 349 and a week later went there and they price matched the sprint store for 249. And they refunded me 100

RadioShack has the white one for $299, if anyone is interested and unable to get the $249 price match. Still $50 cheaper than Sprint. :)

I managed to get my local BB to price match the 249 from Amazon, and then they gave me $78 trade-in for my GS2... so I only ended up paying $196 out the door! So now I have my new Note 3 and I'm like a little kid with a new toy, couldn't be happier! Unless I had case... :D

They are ridiculous when it comes to trade-in. They took a look at my note 2 and said it was in "poor" condition because on the chrome wrap around they found 4 or more scratches on it. You could barely see the scratches. I'm hoping the chrome on this note 3 being that it is not smooth and it has ridges will not "scratch" as easily. I guess it's ribbed for our wallets' pleasure.

I was more than happy to get $78 for a two year old phone. Granted, I had it replaced by Sprint about 6 months and it had been in a case from day one. But the most anybody else would give for it was $50.
