Diamond retentions deals

[robertzas]

i have a friend who works for sprint and he said earlyer this year, maybe because of the billing system upgrade, a LOT of people got early ups. I'm not complainin though!

We have 3 sero lines here (all 3 signed up last September), and lucky for me, my line is the only one showing $150 (the other 2 are showing $75).

Hope that works, I've actually never called it to check.

Ditto.

P.S. other than that I'm gonna try to keep quiet sos not to alert the gremlins..

I'm having absolutely no luck with retentions.

I've had a few offers through them before, and I've got a negative balance at the moment, so this doesn't surprise me a bit. But anyone have any suggestions? I definitely don't want to pay full retail on that phone.

russ.s.mcguire@sprint.com CID: 383

sprint was well aware people were using SERO that should not have technically gotten it, don't you think they would have closed up the savings@sprintemi.com loophole if they truly cared before?

IMHO I think it was/is a marketing ploy to get people to sign on thinking they are getting in on a great "exclusive" deal.. (btw it is a great deal) in order to bolster their declining customer numbers.. Take it as "free" advertizing, and it worked because it did/does get alot of new/old customers in.. sneaky..

you don't deserve any 'luck' with retentions. you have no legitimate reason to be calling them anyway. you are just a self important jerk who thinks that your wants outweigh anything else. you are exactly the type of person who SHOULD BE attacked on threads like this. what gall.

I just got a Diamond for only $242 through retentions. I wanted to get a Touch Pro, but there's nothing they can do this early. I'll probably just return within the 30 days if I don't like the lack of a keyboard (I currently use a Mogul), and just get the TPro.

I really didn't expect much when calling, but now I'm really excited that I did!

Btw I am on SERO and have only had my account ~6 months. At first they offered me the $75 and $150 discounts, but it didn't really make it worth it for me.

I ordered online, my contract was up on Sept 1.. I got the regular discounts and with tax my order was 378... then read all the great deals and felt like a smuck.. but I am also not the type to lie about leaving since I have no intentions of doing so. I called retentions and explained all that and asked for any help she could give me in making my final bill more in line with my long term service and truthfulness. (smile). She only gave me the $70 per line but gave me it for both lines and said I can still upgrade the other phone without having to wait the new 2yrs (other phone is due in Dec). That was good enough for me as after rebate my total bill with tax will be 138$ all charged/credited to my account. And my second line does not and has no intentions of upgrading phone so when/if I decided to get something later it won't have to be 2yrs from now, I can just switch phones out.

I was able to get mine for a credit of $50 by sending back my treo 800w.
