Touch Pro from Best Buy with $100 Sprint Rebate

gordec · #1 (**permalink**) 01-07-2009, 11:18 AM

Bought the Pro from BB back in Oct with the $199.99 deal and sent the Sprint 2 year renew rebate. The rebate got rejected about 3 weeks ago, but last week got an email from Sprint says rebate went through. Got rebate about 2 days ago for $100.00 which is still really good deal. Not sure if anyone else got this. Kind of strange rebate amount. Anyways, I'm on SERO.

You were able to do the rebate even with the the BB receipt? How did that work? I was told it would be rejected.

Sprint rebates department is flaky at best. I had a mogul rebate that was like 3 months overdue to be elig. for rebate (and they sent me a TP for $35 after I complained and got to KEEP the mogul). Anyway......should not have received it but mailed it anyway at the same time I mailed my wifes BB Curve rebate......both $100 checks are on their way now.

I have been really lucking out with Sprint.

I just used the Sprint SERO rebate or which ever form appropriate for your plan for the 2 or 1 year renewal + the receipt from BB. Like I said, it should that the rebate was rejected initially then it went through. Just send it in and see what happens. Nothing to lose.

Isn't that something? Congrats on that. It's wonderful when Sprint's internal communication skills foul up and things work in your favor lol.

I just checked the sprint rebate site and it said my rebate was rejected b/c I didn't purchase from a qualifing store. what?? I bought from best buy, you supply to best buy (its a sprint phone therefore sprint has something to do with it in my opinion) so why can't I get my money? who should I complain to? thanks!

I got my phone from bb on Thursday, and will send off the rebate on Monday, we'll see what happens.

bestbuy purchases won't qualify? that's pretty lame. NOWHERE on this rebate form does it say that it has to be from a qualifying store. we need sue the $$$$ out of sprint to get them to do things right, don't we?
