You have 30 days from purchase to match.
I got mine for $59 through Wal-Mart the week prior. Still worth it IMO.
Got mine for 100 bucks quite a while back. I'd say anything less is a massive steal.

I paid $449 for mine. None on Craigslist and I looked for several months.
I did this in January ..Amazon had it for 49.99 for awhile and best buy price matched for me

I contacted Best Buy (888#) and requested the $50 credit. I purchased my LG E970on 3/2/12 for $99 and was in the 15 day Price Match by one day. The rep put me on hold, came back, took down my info and said that I would get a call back letting me know the status of my credit. I was concerned that I would not hear back from BB and he said that I would get a return call within 48 hours. Needless to say, no call back so I called back and was told that BB no longer offers the Price Match on contracted cell phone as of 3/2/12. Great. I went back and read the small print details and yup, it does say that. Argh.
Going to go into store tomorrow and talk to a manager and push for the $50.00 Heck for $50.00 I would have returned the darn thing and bought it again. I can play their game too. I will add that I did not receive a call back as promised.
Did you go to an actual best buy store, or best buy Mobile? I went to the mobile store at my local mall and they price matched and gave me a $50 credit, no questions asked.

Interesting, I called AT&T to see about getting an early upgrade (March instead of May). I was told that they could only do 30 days early. My brother had a similar convo with them about a year ago. Seems like it's luck of the draw on who you actually get on the call.

I'm totally with you on this. At the time I made this post I swear I was at the point where I thought this date was at least 90% accurate. Now Best Buy IS taking pre-orders as of this morning but won't give me a date or a price? I dunno, sketchy and I don't just hand out money and not know anything about what I get in return, lots of other dates flying around too. I think there will be a Super Bowl commercial I certainly hope so, if not Verizon is shooting itself in the foot here.

All you are doing is holding a place in line. They give you a $50 gift card for you deposit. You can blow them off if need be and you'll have $50 at BB. What's the problem?

Problem is they don't do 1yr contracts which is a HUGE deal for me at least, big difference between geeting an upgrade in 10 months vs 20.

They are offering their buyback program on this phone for free (everything is for the first week). The basis for the price of the phone is RETAIL. This phone minimum will be $599. At the 10 month mark they will buy back your phone for $240. I think that will compare with a one year plan rather well.

That's not as good as it sounds, I can sell a 1 year old TBolt for 300 on craigslist. Let's do the math a 599.99 phone (regularly priced at 199.99 on contract) will get you a buy back of 240. The retail price of most phones is 599.99 thats 600-240=360. I'd be paying 360 for my next phone!
My next upgrade would cost me almost 1 and a half times more than if I just signed a 1yr contract and paid 70 extra dollars up front. Not to mention Verizon bends backwards when you approach your out of date contract. They've called me a few times about certain "offers" since I'm almost out of contract to get me to renew. On top of all this after I get the upgrade I can still get the 300 extra dollars by selling the phone on craigslist myself making my next upgrade 100% free + profit. I don't sign 2yr contracts it's not worth it in this industry.
This was just tweeted by @Verizonwireless (the official VZW Twitter): "HTC Thunderbolt: no updates to report. We'll share what's real, when it's real, directly. Here."
Looks like we're left in the dark a while longer. Sounds like it's not decided yet, or the release date is too far off for them to announce. Looks like... we should probably be thinking later rather than sooner. Bummer.

Only way Best Buy could know the release date is if Verizon released it to them. Best Buy is only speculating or Verizon has decided to tell them and no one else. Did you receive confirmation on when you can pick up your Thunderbolt?

Its got to be the 14th. Verizon wouldn't let the biggest electronics retailer in the U.S. to be telling thousands of people a false release date. As someone said earlier, the only reason best buy is saying the 14th is because Verizon told them!

Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!
Just got a refund from Best Buy. Took my receipt to the customer service counter, said that I saw the phone for $100 less, and asked if I could get the difference back. She refunded the $100 no questions asked.
My original purchase was an upgrade, not a new contract.
I ordered mine through my Customer Care rep about a week ago. I called her back this morning to see what she could do and she said that I would need to return the one I have to a store or she could send me a return envelope. I was hoping they could just price match a credit for me. Oh well.
Now my worry is...my current phone is working great. I will prbly go return this one and stop by Best Buy and get one that's bunked.
Worth a $100 risk though.
I just bought my Photon at Best Buy as an upgrade and got it for $99 and they also gave me a free Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector. I saw the stock of phones in their closet and they all (the Photons) had Zagg boxes rubber-banded to the Photon boxes so anyone buying a Photon from Best Buy gets the phone for $99 and a free screen protector. They even had them pre-installed on the phones and when they saw that there was a hair under my screen protector they pulled it off and re-applied a brand new shield.
I traded in my Evo for $126 (just gave them the phone and the box; no cable, charger or memory card) so the Photon cost me nothing and I have $19 left on my Best Buy card after tax.

Returning my photon to the Sprint store today and picking one up from Best Buy.
Looks like the price is being changed in stores today so it should be very easy to get that 100 back from bestbuy. They were changing out the price when I was there. What a great deal. I just came back to the photon after my little expo with the NExus S. Glad to be back. I can finally retire my Evo now.
The Rezound is now $199 online at VZW.com. I wonder if they will honor our "worry free" period and give us the difference back?
I upgraded to the GNEX and was told I had to the 15th to return it. I did return for a $35 restocking fee, then go the Rezound. Can I still get $100 credited? What should I say to the CSR, I have a feeling that aren't going to give in easily?
They must have a lot in stock, surplus or b/c of the sales decline in HTC.
EDIT: Just got off the phone with the rep, he credited my acct $100 of my next bill. I don't know if thats because I had until Jan 15th until my "worry free" grace period was up or if they will honor everyone? I would try it though, he didn't give me any problems when I asked for it. He actually said he had no idea there was a price drop.
They usually do if you buy it within 30 days, so it wouldn't hurt to try and post your results. Good luck

Nothing exceptional. I just explained I purchased it on Thursday online, and noticed that the price dropped $100 today. I said, "Can I get a credit applied, or do I need to refuse delivery and reorder", but I doubt it's even necessary to say that.
Just ask for the credit. There won't be a problem with timing of a few days.

Worked for me, first try. All he did was call the store to confirm the price and credited me the money on my next bill. He didn't give me any problems, all I said was I ordered the phone for $299 and I saw $100 price drop.
I just got off the phone with Verizon. I have to wait until I accept the delivery and activate the new phone before they can issue me a credit.
FYI, Verizon offers a 14 day price guarantee (that's what the rep told me on the phone), So if you ordered yours within the last 14 days, call in and get your money!
If I bought my phone at the Verizon store do you guys think they will honor the 100?
Sent from my HTC Rezound!
Rep I just spoke with said they only honor price changes up to 15 days after purchase. I asked about the people who bought it during the holiday return period and she said no. I was nice to her, and she was nice back, incase anyone is curious how the convo went.
Rep said the credit is automatic but she did notate my account.
Good call. I got my phone new years day and they had no problem crediting my account. Good looking out.

I have always been an early adopter and paid full price when things come out. My current Droid Incredible works fine for what I use it for so I will just wait a bit. Figure another month perhaps and $99 will be the new price. Keep the other $200 I saved for other toys.

but did you pre-order the fire??
I actually got my rezound for a penny from amazon.
There must be a new flagship from HTC coming to VZ. I meant wth?
If it matters, I bought my Rezound on December 9th and Verizon credited my account $100 today. I called 611, had to sit on hold for a while, but I'm $100 richer now!
Well I have been salivating over the Note since I heard about it months ago. My only set back was the fact that I had just signed up for AT&T this past November with the Samsung Skyrocket. I tried to put the phone out of my mind but daily I would find myself sifting through YouTube videos. I kept telling myself to just be happy with what I had but, low and behold the phone comes out today and ofcourse I have to have it.
So I call up my local AT&T and ask to comfirm the price off contract was $650 and if they had any in stock. The employee informs me that yes they are in stock, but I will not be able to purchase it off contract. For a second Im lost in dissapointment, then the employee says why would you want to buy it off contract anyway when you can do an early upgrade and just pay $550. Say what! So I hop in my Toyota Matrix and fly ( seriously going about 90 mph) to the store.
I get to the store and let them know I had just called to buy the Note and the manager and an employee start helping me. The employee goes into my account and clearly im not early upgrade eligible, but the manager says its fine Ill just do an overide. So while the manager is doing the overide the employee starts telling about the jawbone speaker that they have been pushing for awhile. It cost $199 so im just listening not be rude, but decline her offer. Then the Manager says how about if I through the Speaker in for free since your already paying $549 for the phone ( ok now we are talking), I happily accept this offer.
I know my story is a bit long but I am always hearing about how terrible AT&T is so I just wanted to send a little positivity there way.
With the case, screen cover, and Tax I ended up paying $649 total. I plan on selling my skyroket for $400 so ill only end up being out $249 dollars. Im going to try out the speaker if I dont like it ill probally sell it for $150 then Ill only be out $100.
Congratz man! :-D
Just something to think about though, a lot of us got the Note before our upgrades were eligible, including me, for $300. There's a thread floating around here somewhere about people who were only like 2 months into their contract and got it for $300.

Well further examination of my receipt I can tell I was offered the Jawbone box because they price of the the Note was discounted to 299, so i guess the Manager was just trying to recup the difference.

ATT is great?? You just wait!
I'll admit I've had some really good experiences with ATT in-store customer experience.
But over time, they just keep changing the plans and increasing the prices. It's been 8 years since I switched from VZN to ATT so I could have the "freedom" to be one of the first to buy unlocked GSM phones from overseas and not have to wait for phones to be "provisioned" (ala Sprint and VZN).
...but over time, what used to cost me about $250/mo. for 6 phones is now costing me $400/mo with 2GB data limits!
Even when I threaten ATT that I'm leaving, they seem to mysteriously find discounts and savings I qualify for to lower my bill. Can't complain about that too much I guess...
Yeah i think im going to return the Jawbone speaker tommorow and get my 199 back. Im going to a different store to return it course.

Just something to think about though, a lot of us got the Note before our upgrades were eligible, including me, for $300. There's a thread floating around here somewhere about people who were only like 2 months into their contract and got it for $300.

The price on Amazon has dropped to $229. Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger now or wait until it drops to $200.
I went to Radio Shack and got mine for 199.99 they price matched some store in Texas.... I'm in Ohio lol

I think the number of people buying it might decline now. Galaxy SIII is being announced on the 3rd

Very true statement... I've progressively meditated away the temptation of buying the Note so far... But out of curiosity, has anyone gone out today & gotta price match @ this amazon price yet?
I called 611 on my phone to talk to Customer Service this past Saturday to tell them that Frys was selling the Note for $199 and they credited my account $100. I was just three days shy of my 30 day purchase date. All they asked me was when did i buy my phone. I didn't have to prove that the price had dropped.

I got mine at BB for 199.99 and this was with an upgrade. They price match to how much Fry's is selling them. But it wasn't that easy.
The first BB I went to didn't do it so I went to another BB and they tried checking Fry's website to see if they could find the ad. But finally after 2 hrs. I got my Note.
Funny story is that the BB that did price match had to send someone to pick up from the store that did not do the price match.
Thankgod Fry's had one store in Illinois. During their promotion I used it at local Best Buy..... 25.5 miles away or 0.5 miles over the BB distance limit.
Might be picking this baby up 2morrow... Price matching @ 229, $50 off from freedom choice, $5 certificate, and $100 dollar check I just found going through junk mail today dated from 2010 w/ no expiration date from Time Warner in my sectional's compartment chest(LOL!!) will cost me only $55 bucks.... Prolly game set match 2morrow....
Good looking out just got another fifty dollar credit totaling 100 bucks to my account.
Thanks for the heads up. My partner has been looking for the note and we almost pulled the trigger when it was 249.99 on Amazon.

I just bought one last week . I wonder if I call later today I can get them to credit my account the $20 dollars?
Yep was able to call this morning. They did a one time exception and refunded $20 back to my account

I think I would have saved my one time exception favor for something larger then $20.
mmmM!! I just bought a Note for $300 and a Skyrocket for $200 from AT&T -.-!!1
Will go return them tomorrow fml!
hmm thanks for the heads up. my wife just got this for a lot more, gonan try to return and rebuy thru amazon!
I received my note from Amazon wireless on Friday last week. Setup is super easy. Just be sure you don't change your contract for 181 days or Amazon will charge you some ridiculous amount. The flexibility off ATT seems pretty good though. Go over your data for the month and they just charge for another gig at $10. I will tell you that I called after I ordered it and asked them to ship overnight as there was no option during the checkout to change shipping speed. They upgraded me for free. Really good service through Amazon. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE FINE PRINT THOUGH. You'll see what I mean about 181 days.

Forgot to add, the ATT store in my podunk littel town was selling them for $329 plus tax. Saved $160.

I was able to get the guys at Best Buy to agree to price match the $229 price, even though it was technically against their price matching policy. Combined with the $50 gift card deal I had, it was fantastic. I just hope I can do the same when my other line comes up for upgrade next month!
