How to get a deal on Note 3

Re: How to get a deal on note 3

They wont give you a dime off the price of any product.They will give you a credit on your next months bill.

You are 100% WRONG!

How could you possibly say that!?!?
Did you read the 1st page of the thread?
Did you see Paravoz' screenshot of his order, he got $200 off the "product", (not bill credit).

Have you not read ANY of my posts?
I will repeat ..........

1st call,
(I wasn't even calling about a new phone, I called because my unlimited texting jumped from $10 per mo to $20 per month).
After retention fixed my tx package, he then offered to set me up with a good deal on a new phone. First we talked iphones, then he said he could give me a better deal on Samsung.
He offered $75 bucks off the $299 "product" + $100 bill credit, + waived upgrade fee, + free standard overnight shipping. Guess what I told him? .... "I'll think about it" I said.
He then tx me his boss' phone number, and told me to call and leave a message for him if I change my mind. After researching the N3 for an hour, I called that number and left him a message.
He called me back, then set me up. $224.99 for the N3, (that's $75 off the "product") + $100 bill credit (to be applied within 45 days), waived upgrade fee, + free overnight shipping.

Guess what I immediately did next, ........................ anyone ??? (no, it's not hump day) lol

I googled "android forums" and joined 3 of them, (including here).
When I learned of Paravoz' deal, I was peed he paid less than I did for the "product".
I then also learned of the free tablet or watch with the purchase of qualifying phone + 2 year contract.
(so do you think I was going to make a second call? ................ you're darn right I was !!!)

Having saved Paravoz' Order Status to a local folder next to my Order Status, I called that number and left another message.
Same guy in retention, Justin, called me back.
I told him I wanted to e-mail 2 screenshots, and wanted $200 off, like Paravoz received.
He gave me his boss' e-mail. then put me on the phone with him.
I told him I was peed, wanted a better deal. After a 5 minute hold, he came back and told me that Paravoz has a business account, and that he couldn't give me the N3 for $100.
He told me all he could do was give me an additional $50 off the price of the N3, knocking it down from $224.99 to $174.99.

Then I told him, “being w/att for 12 yrs, and a manager in retention, surely you know about the Promo offering free tab or gear for qualifying phone and contract?”

He started about how he gave me this, and that, when I stopped him.
“the other stuff has nothing to do with this promo. I bought a new N3, and a new 2yr contract, and I am entitled to a my choice and I want a watch” I told him!

So he gave me one. He knew all about the promo, (didn’t pretend that he didn’t), created the order, entered the proper codes, and knocked the price of the $299 watch down to $0.00, (he didn’t give me a $299.99 credit off my bill, he gave me $299.99 of the “product”).


So in conclusion, here’s what I got …………………

Note3 for $174.99
Smartwatch for $0.00
$100 bill credit to be applied within 45 days
Waived upgrade fee
Free shipping

So redrover69, please don’t misinform the members by telling them ….. “They wont give you a dime off the price of any product. They will give you a credit on your next months bill.”
That’s 100% wrong of you to make such a statement.

How does the rep know that I have a business account? For business accounts you need to login in to the premier account but I have a normal account with family plan. I just checked that business accounts get free 1-2 day shipping but for me it was regular 3-5 days. when i was ordering she tried to give it to me for 299 but then she told me to hold and came back and said since I have been a loyal customer since 2008 she will give me the phone for 99$. it also depends on the rep though. Yesterday when I tried to get the gear, he told me there was never a promotion for free Gear even though I said that it was supposed to be a black friday promo and I didn't receive it.

Re: How to get a deal on note 3

I'll tell you how.
It's the one character you did NOT black out., (the first letter of the order number) wink
If your order number starts with an "N", its a business account.wink
If your order number starts with a "V", it's a personal account wink

Business accounts do NOT qualify for $100 bill credit, or waived upgrade fee, or Galaxy gear.
That is why you got the N3 so cheap, ($100 bucks), cause they're not giving you anything else.

Re: How to get a deal on note 3

How would I get a business account if i don't even have a business? i did get credit for my bill before which was for the iPhone and fee waived. but that wasn't me calling to get it waived it was my cousin who called to (hes on the family plan and its his iPhone). How do i check what account do I have? it doesn't say premier or business. Also. business accounts can get fees waived its in the FAQ. There was a promotion for free galaxy tab (must also get a plan) but there wasn't a promo on free gear. can you post a photo where it shows the free galaxy gear on your order?

Re: How to get a deal on note 3

Hmm I called them about 3 times each time I was given credits on my account. No mention of a discounted phone. I accumulated about 400 in credits but paid full 289 for the phone.

I called complained best buy had it for 199 they gave me 90 credit. I also received a 100 credit in 45 days when I ordered the note 3. plus some other credits. But

I didnt get a phone for 100 nor did I get a free gear or a discount. Im sure its hit and miss who you get and what they will be willing to give you.

Wow, at least you didn't call me a LIAR like Bill did.
I told you guys you NEED to talk to the retention dept.
Here are my invoices.

Look at the date on the invoice for the N3, and look at the discounted price, ($224.99)

Look at the date on the invoice for the gear, (that is when I called back and complained).
They gave me an additional $50 off the PRICE of the N3
As you can see they discounted the gear all the way down to $0
(they also charged me shipping, now I will have to call back and get THAT credited)

so one last time .........

N3 discounted down to $174.99
Gear discounted down to $0.00
$100 bill credit (to be issued within 45 days)
Free shipping on N3
(gonna call to get my $10 ship back on the watch).
Waived upgrade fee.

Call retention, talk to a supervisor, get the discounts & promos you deserve !!!!

 

[redrover69]

Re: How to get a deal on note 3

Hahaha

Re: How to get a deal on note 3

anyone know the direct number for retention? I also have 319$ in credits. when i called the sales dep. I told the rep that i got the phone for 100$ when he asked, which was my mistake (shouldn't have mention it), then he told me that I have already got a big discount and I don't need the fee waived and told me there is no watch lol

Download my invoice to your local. Call ATT, tell them u want retention. When someone comes on the phone, ASK if they're with retention.
Tell them you want your flippin watch and u want to speak to a supervisor asap. email my invoice to them if you have to, (there is no way that "some" att customers get the watch, and others do NOT) !!!

Re: How to get a deal on note 3

They gave me a 100.00 credit I didn't ask for the Gear because I didn't want to push it. I was very appreciative that they gave me 100.00 off my bill.

UPDATE 2: Got a message that they will call me on the 18th, which is the day my finals start.

Well, I just sold my gear on Craigs List for $240
Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch

So after all was said and done, it took me 1 week, but I got a new N3, and came out $165 AHEAD weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

That's right, not only was the N3 free, but I put $165 bucks in my pocket.
Not THATS how you get a deal !!!!

Re: How to get a deal on note 3

Looks like they forgot to call me... again... Gonna take my last final exams tomorrow then I will have a lot of time to call them and tell them that they lied to me

Re: How to get a deal on note 3

Was on the phone for almost 2 hours they didn't want to transfer me to retention. After they did I was put on hold for several times. In the end after their "research" they said they didn't hear about any promo and it could've been instore or online only. The only thing they could do is 30$ credit for 3 months

Re: How to get a deal on note 3

Hi XiphoneUzer,
Thanks so much for your information. I just got my N3 two days ago. I was just on the phone with retention. After two hours of talking, holding, waiting for a manager, ... I finally got all of your deal without the Gear. However, I need to return my phone back to the ATT store and gain it from Retention. My longest wait time on hold was trying to gain the Gear. In short, the Manager told me that they do not handle accessories and could not help me. I told him that I could easily send a copy of your receipt. He wasn't receptive to that and just kept on saying that retention doesn't deal with accessories. So...any additional info of wisdom you can provide to help with my success. Thanks much!

Re: How to get a deal on note 3

I thought I would share how I got my deal on my Note 3. So I had some (a lot actually) reward zone points from Best Buy. I wanted to use them and I waited because I knew Best Buy was going to drop the price on the Note 3 eventually. So the 9th of December rolled around and I figured now was the time. I walked into Best Buy not knowing that the points I had banked for quite some time, I could use on Smartphones. So I asked the guys that worked in the Samsung spot and they said, "Yeah, I don't see why not."

Awesome.

Here's what I did: I had $165 worth of points that I used. While the guy was helping me out, he noticed that I signed up for "Mobile Freedom" or something like that years ago. I had forgot all about that. That gave me $50. And because I was there on "Green Monday" I also got a $10 gift certificate to go along with the sweet deal I was already making out with. You do the math.

So I cant complain. I got an AT&T Note 3 for nothing. I waited for the Defender to go on sale. I got that for $40. This never happens to me the way it did. I'm happy and the wife is happy I actually made out like a bandit. Merry Christmas to me.
