I might really fukk around and cop a note 4

I have one preordered because I doubt the edge gets a lot of support and may not hardly be available I just hope it's better than the s5.

Got the black 32 gb otw but that Xperia z3 looks Piff. Plus you can play ps4 games on it.

bestbuy got a promo for preordering the note 4. get a $200 best buy gift card if you trade in an old phone.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-galaxy-note-4-128435

you might have to talk to a couple people to get it because when i went in.. the guy had no idea what i was talking about. once i showed him the website, he was fine with it. he said as long as the old phone is in working condition, i'd get the gift card.

other people have said that their bb employee said OFF contract only.. other said their guy said ON contract only.

so i guess it depends

there's another promo straight from samsung that's pretty much the same thing but a little bit more of a hassle to complete. but they'll cut you a check instead of getting a gift card.

So would I be able to use that gift card to pay towards the note?

No you would be getting the gift card maybe weeks after you even put your claim in....

Unless your talking about the bestbuy one...in which depends on the best buy some may make you wait until 15 days after purchase on some bs,

the guy i talked to said i SHOULD be able to.. he said i'd get the gift card right away when i came in to buy the phone and trade in my old one.

but like i said, he didn't even know about the promo before i showed it to him.. so i can't really trust him on any of the details.

Whoever employee told you Off Contract is an idiot who should be fired. Best Buy would NEVER run a promotion for off contract phones they WANT you in a contract. We make between $200-700 per activation depending on the carrier, phone, and if you switch to an easy pay/installment billing plan.... Offering the $200 Gift Card is a great promotion because we get paid by the manufacturer for shipping back your old phone as well as the carrier for activating you a new phone..

it wasn't the guy i talked to..

do you know if we'd be able to use the gift card towards the phone?

What are you doing pre-ordering online or going to the store the day of? I don't deal with going to stores at all. I get my sh1t overnight after release. I think the pre-orders for T Mobile are stacked up though. So SOMETHING has to be done to make sure I get what I want.

Probably online.. I don't like standing in lines

I have ATT so I'll use ATT Next to get an upgrade. If I choose the Note 4, I'm still debating between iOS and droid.

 

[Ziggiy]

Yes. What happens (SHOULD happen if the employee is trained properly) is the trade in is done first through the system. We make sure the phone is in working condition and that find my iPhone is disabled (assuming your trading in an I-device) your gift card is processed at this time, then the activation for the note 4 is performed. Once we proceed to the register to ring up the final transaction the gift card is then can be used....

Breh I don't know what to do. I've never had a droid. I know I need a bigger phone but I don't want a tablet, my two year old is reckless. Had an iPhone since 2009 but this note 4 is looking piff and I think it's time for a change

We're in the same boat. I don't know if I could switch to droid. I use iTunes so I don't know if it will work out

played with the note 4 earlier. surprised how slender the shyt was. last note I held was the 2 and that shyt was bulky as fukk. the note 4 looks like a slightly bigger S5. shyt is gorgeous
