SERO 500 users - gotten approved for $100 rebate on TP2 yet?

[Vegasden]

The form says "you may be required to activate on a service plan of $39.99 or more"...so (in theory) they can deny the $100 rebate as a Sero 500 is $30.

Which rebate do you plan on sending in, the EPRP one or the regular?

Exactly! There is a different form for the Referral program. Here's a link to it:

http://www.nextel.com/assets/pdfs/en...mir_103109.pdf

Here' the list of requirements off of that form:

TO QUALIFY FOR A REBATE, YOU MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:
REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL CUSTOMERS
> Activate your new device(s) with a new two-year agreement on each line of service by 11/14/09.
> Include your sales receipt or packing slip – must be dated between 9/3/09 and 10/31/09.
> Fill the certificate out entirely – must be postmarked no later than 11/14/09.
> Cash your rebate within ninety (90) days of issuance.
> For Nextel devices, SIM card included in new device must be used with activation.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CUSTOMERS adding a new line of service
> Activate your new device(s) on a new line of service.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CUSTOMERS upgrading your device(s)
> Qualified existing customers, with service on the same device for more than 22 consecutive
months and a new two-year agreement, may be eligible for mail-in rebates on the devices
listed on the front of this form.
> Your account cannot have any unpaid past-due amounts.

Nowhere on the EPRP form does it have a minimum monthly requirement.

Mine has not been approved yet, but I just sent it in. They did tell me however when I purchased the phone they would give me the rebate, so I better get it or I will go ape @#$%

I'm on SERO 500 and got the phone for $199 with:

SERO contract extension of 2 years.
I had $150 phone upgrade credit.
No rebates. I don't know what would happen if i sent in the form. But i think i will try.

I sent mine in first thing I got it last Monday. I got this email yesterday. I have done these rebates before on SERO (LG Lotus) and had no problem getting the credit. The rep who I bought it through also said no problem.

Boss!!! That's what I wanted to hear!

[stomicron]

I got the same email. Currently the status reads

Your rebate submission has been received and is proceeding through the validation process according to the promotional terms and conditions. Please check back in 1-2 weeks for updates to your request.

I hope that means they're just waiting for the 30 day return window to close. But the language they use does make it seem like they could reject it for being on SERO.

I paid $450, got the $150 Verizon price match taken off ($300), then also had the $100 mail in rebate applied. I paid $199 for mine. I also got a contract renewal discount for what $70? and $50 friend referral.

Ok, but that has nothing to do with what he asked. Getting the rebate applied by Sprint instead of sending it in for approval isn't the same thing.
