Default Got your Atrix 2 from Best Buy in the last 30 days? Important info inside!!

My boy TimmyB44 on AndroidCentral put me on to the fact that according to the local RadioShack ad in todays newspaper, they are offering the Atrix 2 for free. So if you got your Atrix 2 from Best Buy within the last 30 days you can get them to match the price and get a refund. Having just gone through the process let me let you know what happens.

First thing you want to do is contact your local Radio Shack and see if they have the phone in stock, once you find the store that has them, notate their phone number and call Best Buy at 1.800.BEST.BUY and request a price match. They will ask you for the store phone number so they can confirm they have the phone in stock and it's price. Once they do so they will submit the price match and you will be credited the difference (in my case, $49.99) within a week to 10 days. Make sure you get your case# just in case, at least you'll have something to follow up on should you not see the credit in that timeframe.

Yep, sure will, will that help those who bought theirs prior to the 24th of last month? Not at all. Not only that, but Best Buy does not price match for items for sale Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving. So hopefully it stays free after the Black Friday sales so they can get price matched too.

I just did what you said and I called the phone number and they told me they prefer doing the price match at the store. They also want you to gave the receipt and after that they processed it and they returned all of my money. So my phone is was completely free. No tax no nothing. Free. Thanks for the tip!!! E

They didn't need my receipt as it was in my account electronically, they even emailed it to me the day I got it. So hopefully the same happens here, full refund.

Would this apply if I bought from AT&T? (In AT&T they matched my price to Bestbuy's $49.99)

I was super surprised that they gave full refund. I got my receipt from customer service so it worked out well. Did they give you your money back yet or is it being processed?

They should be able to. If not, then just return it because you're within 30 days to cancel everything. Then go to RadioShack and buy it. lol.

It's being processed, she said it would take a week to 10 days. I'm in no rush to get it so I can wait. I will let you know how much they refunded though.
