Retail for Diamond is $549, so $150 off would be $399.

Additionally, I'm fairly certain the referral card deal is limited to something like $250 in credits per year, which means that even if you happened to find 10 people who weren't already on Sprint to activate and claim you as a referral, you'd still have to cough up $150.

I've gotten referral credits before (I'm actually on my second set of cards, since they send u new ones if you make referrals after a year of receiving the first one), and I use mine to pay my Sprint bill, which is great- I look at it like having free service for a couple of months as a reward for helping spread the love. However, if your goal is to pay for a handset with this money, its a lot of effort to barely make a dent in the price of this particular handset.
Part of that was actually based on some of the spare cash I have at my disposal already.

Good to know the other info, though, thank you!
