Sprint Deal: TP2 - $49 (plus tax) after rebate (possibly $24)

**Recursion** · #1 (**permalink**) 12-18-2009, 10:48 AM

There's a thread over at slickdeals explaining how to get a TP2 for $49 or $24 after rebate. It says no SERO, but I don't think that's right. I have a SERO plan that was out of contract, and ordered a TP2 upgrade. I checked the rebate ($100) and the terms fit my situation fine. So, a new one is going to run me just over $100 after rebate, but I will also get $50 in service credit...so I'm paying just over $50 for a new phone.

And btw, I selected Citigroup. And another thing, these are for friends and family. The magic word is friends. We are all friends!! So, these deals apply to you too! lol...

Hope this helps someone. (Ordered yesterday, being delivered today)

EDIT: If you're ordering a new line of service, then $49 or possibly $24 after rebate.

If you're upgrading, the $50 service credit does not look like it will apply. If you are on SERO, you *may* get lucky and be able to upgrade to this phone for $99 after rebate. I have multiple lines, and this may be why I was able to get this done. Other SERO folk have received error messages, but apparently they were single line accounts. So...YMMV.

I just tried the Accenture one on Saturday and got Rejected Monday.

Maybe I'll give Citigroup a shot.

Actually, the $50 credit will NOT apply...damn. So, it's $100 (plus tax).

The rebate looks perfectly good. I went through the terms...it's looks good. What are you looking at that makes you think it doesn't apply????

they typically include all rebates instantly in the sale price on these deals. it may be sold through a 3rd party co. and they are able to offer you an extra hundred dollar instant rebate because they get it back in the long run. thats how best buy does it too. you cant usually get a mail in when u buy a phone from best buy because its included in the price.

I have been following that thread at slickdeals for a while now. There are verifying membership of that EC club. You must be referred to them from someone who is currently a member.

They starting doing this 2 weeks ago. This deal is pretty much dead.

I posted in that thread regarding the rebate, and reproduced the relevant terms. It expressly refers to "upgrading" where you extend your contract for "2 years." The terms apply to extending a SERO plan, so I guess when I get my $100 rebate, I'll post "woo hoo!" in here; and if I don't, I'll hide in the corner pondering how many bud lights I woulda had with that $100... :P
