I got my Note III... for $7!?

[ZuneNinja!]

Success! I just got mine for $128 also. I couldn't get them to waive the upgrade fee, but I'm going to try calling in and see if I can get the credit back to my account.

Thanks to all that posted about this. I wouldn't have been so quick to jump on this deal otherwise.

Boy do I feel like I was screwed.... Let me explain.

I got wind of the Verizon30 code that you order online and do an in-store pickup. I went through that for both my Wife and Myself (both getting the Note 3), and had the total $524.00 that included the taxes and upgrade fee's for 2 phones and a 3 pack screen protector so average out to $262 each. Cheaper than the $300 each plus the protectors and taxes.

I go to the store at 10 am, and am the first one in the line (excitement building)!! After some issues the sales person took me from his mobile position that they use with the pads, and took me up to the front desk. After getting his manager involved for some codes, he proceeds to check me out. I know I had to upgrade/downgrade my plan so my wife could get her work email so he had to do that as well. Both phones, thee 3 pack screen protector, and the taxes came to $270!!!!! I am thinking OH HELL Yeah!!!!!


But... They tried to activate the phones and they will not activate. The sales person gets with his manager again, and after some troubleshooting they replace the SIM cards thinking something there was broke. Still unable to activate, the sales person gets with customer service, and then Tech support, and they can not figure out why the phones wont activate. They discover the phones instead of being 30% off with the Verizon30, is only charging the 30% instead. Well Duh!! After my repeated attempts to see what the hell is taking so long, they let me know at 12:55 PM that because there was a glitch and I paid an incorrect amount which was causing the activation to fail. The store has a ticket open up with Verizon Tech support and they said they will try to compensate me, but I Paid for the phones. Not my fault for a glitch in their system. Additionally, the store still has the phones while they try to fix the issue.

Should I do the right thing and say give me the phones at the correct 30% off, and compensate me some how? Or should I play hard ball due to there error, and I should also be compensated for my lost 3 hours. I did it online to save that time not waste additional time due to their issues. The sales person and to some extent the manage did all they could do so I am not blaming them.

Thoughts????

Verizon would be the first in line to screw you over so go ahead and give it to them. Stick to your guns. They've been honoring all their other mistakes and glitches

Came on this morning to see if the note 3 had been rooted yet and read about this. Immediately ordered one online and picked up at store with VERIZON30 code. When it was time to pay only $128 and change. Verizon has made me a happy customer again!!!

Dammit if I didn't have Unlimited Data I would be all over this.

I was able to move my upgrade to a non unlimited line, use the upgrade there. Then switched the N3 back to my line just fine. I triple checked the guys tablet as I check out to make sure my line was untouched.

I got a $300 phone for $90!!!!

I ordered a new 32GB Galaxy Note 3 last night and used the VERIZON30 code. My total came out to $260 and some change with activation fee and taxes. I chose instore pick up. When I went today to pick it up I was only charged $89.00 for the phone with taxes and activation this came out to be roughly $129. I do not know if this was a glitch in their system or not. Please try this and share with everyone who can upgrade. WOW a $300 phone for $89. That made my day I hope it makes yours as well.

Hmm smart. I might have to try this.

 

[slide83]

Got mine for ~130.00 too.

After seeing this work in system, csr asked for code and did it himself.

I'm happy I was able to get a few people knowing about this deal. This may be a glitch, not sure exactly what's going on, but I might just get another one for my dad! :laugh:

I've been in and out of the Verizon store here in town and I was gonna pull the trigger earlier in the evening, but I was just too crunched on time, so I'll more than likely try this out tomorrow. Does anyone here have any idea how long this Verizon30 code will be good? I would imagine it's just a "limited time" kinda thing, but I really have no idea. Does anyone here know FOR SURE? And I know this is used when ordering online and doing an in-store pickup, but how about just walking in the store, making the Note 3 purchase, and telling the CSR that you have a coupon-code at checkout?

 

[BeansTown106]

this same thing happened to me with the htc one i ordered online with verizon30 coupon but with in store pickup and when i got to the store they only wanted 20$ for the phone!! unreal.. there system is bugged to **** first they let preorders keep unlimited now there lliterally handing phones out for nothing haha this happened to my buddy as well somehow they are tripling the coupon and giving you 90% off!

online with instore pickup is what worked for me and Op so thats what i would do. i just hope they dont catch on and then charge us all a bunch of extra $ lol

 

[swan3609]

Oh **** ya. Beans got in on the deal. I really hope someone manages to get custom recovery so you can work your magic. I have been on your roms on the s3,note 2, s4 and hopefully this note 3.

I got my note for $148

But that was from trading in my SGS3 to best buy for it (because best verizon would give me was like $80)

 

[dubge]

you know it is about time verizon got screwed on something on a large scale

 

[jsdecker10]

I'm gonna go to Verizon today and use this code and I'm also thinking about taking my S3 down to best buy and getting a few things with the credit I'll get over what Verizon would give me! These trade-in values by Verizon are RIDICULOUS compared to Best Buy!

 

[alhadee12]

If you're going to go the gift card method Best Buy is the place to go. Verizon your just giving your device away. Selling it is always good, but time consuming.

Might be doing something wrong but I wasn't able to find an option to even ship to store or enter a coupon ordering online through the business account upgrade section. Their CS is only open M-F too so I'll have to check Monday. :crying: looks like a killer deal though.

-Ok, so what's the exact process in order to get this kinda deal?

-I have an upgrade on our account that I'm wanting to use, but it's NOT on my own personal line. The upgrade is actually on a line that has an older flip-phone associated with it and I'm wanting to transfer the upgrade from that line to MY line that has a galaxy s3 associated with it. When I go to the Verizon Wireless website, what's the exact process I need to follow on the website?? I'm wanting to do this tonight and be able to pick it up in my local store tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks!
