Where is $100 Rebate Form for Touch?

When you click on the Rebate Form for the Touch on the Sprint site, it leads to a $150 Form for the Mogul. The sales rep. said it would come in the box, but, guess what? Nope.

Thanks

Did you buy a brand new Touch with a 2-year contract? That's how the rebate usually works.

Yes - I bought it through Telesales. They charged my account $349 and said there was a an additional $100 mail in rebate that would come in the box.

How much did you actually get back on the rebate? Which form did you fill out Regular Rebate or the SERO (for sero accounts only) one?

thanks,

Mine did not come in the box either. I called Sprint and they told me to go to a Sprint store and that's where I got it.

It's a narrow flyer with all the different rebates for various phones. The $100 HTC Touch rebate is in the smaller print.

I got my rebate for my Touch and it wasn't $100.

As some of you may already know, I work for Radioshack. Radioshack actually prints out 2 copies of your receipt and a separate receipt at the time of purchase which is your mail in rebate.

When I bought my Touch in January, I got my employee discount on the phone so I did have to pay full price for the phone but after Tax it came to just under $350 instead of around $370.

February 1st the phone went on sale for $99 after mail in rebate and Radioshack has a policy that if ANYTHING you buy goes on sale within 30 days after you purchase it, they will refund you the difference.

Here's the nice part. The day I bought the phone I went home and immediately filled out and mailed out my rebate. 2 weeks later it went on sale so I went and got refunded the difference but they didn't ring up the phone with an employee discount this time so I got $160 some dollars back. The way Radioshack had to do this, they had to refund the phone and resell it to me at the sale price so I had to mail my rebate out again which really wasn't a big deal.

Sprint sent me my rebate check alright... A whopping $200 check.

Now I'm not that good at math but when I first bought the phone, I paid less than $350 for it. Now I got back $360 some dollars back for it.

So... To make a long story short, I lucked out because Sprint screwed up. I got my Touch for FREE after mail in rebate.

Top that.

It took me a lot longer to get my money back but I ended up getting back more than I paid.
