So I had seen this Cyber-Monday deal earlier in the day, but in the cart when I would add the phone for a new line of service with an existing account, I would get $169.99. So after calling the wife, and her hemming and hawing over if I should pay cash or put it on AMEX (to cover the phone), she finally agreed to let me buy it with the AMEX. I went back into the cart and added the phone again, with the same option (existing account new line of service) but the price went from 169.99 to 199.99. I contacted Amazon, they could confirm it that it was indeed at the $169.99 price on their side (with the same options) but for some reason the cart was messing up. They had me buy it at 199.99 and immediately changed the price to $169.99. That plus I had a single $25 statement credit on a $75 purchase w/AMEX for anything at Amazon during December, made it a sweet purchase at $144.99.
I got the phone on Wednesday, and I'm very glad I made the move back to Sprint. We originally had a Sero account (for my wife) that got upgraded for smartphones. Since I bought my line back to Sprint, we went with the unlimited family plan and with my organizational discount, it made the second line the same cost as the Sero plan. I'm very happy indeed.
