Wirefly price $249 maybe a price match? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General

I was on the Best Buy. Website looking at Verizon phones and there was. Google ad for Wirefly Note3 for $249. I would think BB would honor it for price match. Here's the link. http://www.wirefly.com/content/veri...zon_Sitelink&gclid=CKTfvI-_nroCFYmf4Aod9CIAWg

The Low Price Guarantee does not include wirefly.com officially. Now, not every single employee knows which online retailers we can price match. but if you have done it before then it was a fluke.
Here is the official list:
Amazon.com
Apple.com
Bhphotovideo.com
Crutchfield.com
Dell.com
Frys.com
hhgregg.com
HP.com
HomeDepot.com
Lowes.com
Newegg.com
OfficeDepot.com
OfficeMax.com
Rakuten.com
Sears.com
Staples.com
Target.com
TigerDirect.com
Walmart.com

like i said tho, if you bring in an ad and ask it to be price matched, the worst that can happen is they say no lol

If they give you any guff, ask them what the benefit is to you for bringing your business to best buy. works 90% of the time.
If that doesnt work, tell them you were interested in the Geek Squad protection. Once you say that, the employee will avoid everything that may deter you from the sale. If you get the price match cuz you said you wanted geek squad, pay the $9.99 for the first month and then simply cancel it the next day. You will get your full money back with no hassles.

I got mine from Best Buy two nights ago by asking them to price-match NewEgg.com's price of $229.00, but they gave me a little bit of grief at first. The guy that was working in the cellular sales department in my Best Buy said he wasn't too sure if they could match online retailer prices, so he walked off to search for a manager's approval. I didn't wanna get hosed, so I followed him just so I could hear his/her explanation if the manager wouldn't approve the price-match. Of course, the manager started off by saying that they didn't price-match to online competitors, but she explained to me that she "...would do it for you[me] just this one time since you[me] drove 35 minutes to get here and the Best Buy Store in your town said they would price-match for you[me] based on the stated list on our corporate website< Best Buy Low Price Guarantee >. I'm aware of what our website says, but technically it's up to the manager of each store to decide if their store will price-match against those stores listed on our site." This caught me VERRRRYYYYY off guard and I honestly don't think she was being truthful with me about that policy being up to the discretion of each store manager. I think it's a company-wide policy, but there's a little bit of fine print on their "Best Buy Low Price Guarantee" page that I didn't notice until after I had gotten home with my Note 3 and just re-checked the policy just for ****s-n-giggles. In the second paragraph, it states:
"The Guarantee is limited to one price match per identical item, per guest and does not apply to: Contract mobile phones sold by any online retailer, the online prices of retailers not listed, the online prices of products shipped from or sold by third party vendors (Marketplace vendors) on designated major online retailers websites, post purchase price match requests to competitor's prices, Best Buy for Business™, offers that include financing, gift card offers, bundling of items, free items, pricing errors, mail-in offers, coupon offers, competitors' service prices, items that are advertised as limited-quantity, out of stock, open-box, clearance, refurbished/used items, our and our competitor's Deal of the Day, daily deals, special hour sale event items and credit card offers, BestBuy.com Clearance & More and Marketplace items, and items for sale Thanksgiving Day through 11:59 p.m. on the Monday after Thanksgiving."

ANNNNDDDDD at the bottom of that page in the "Frequently Asked Questions" section, they included this little tidbit:
"Does Best Buy ever run tests or promotions on a new or existing policy?
Yes. Best Buy reserves the right to run promotions and/or tests of new or different versions of existing policies either nationally or in specific geographic locations and/or for limited periods of time.
Best Buy may amend these terms at any time."

BUT finally, for us smartphone "enthusiasts" and all Best Buy customers wishing to take advantage of their price-matching policy, the VERRRRRYYYY last bit at the bottom is what you want to pay attention to:

Any UPCOMING deals for the SGS2?

Unfortunately, I am not eligible for upgrade until Thursday, meaning I am missing out on all of these great deals on the SGS2. I want to get one as soon as I am eligible but I was just wondering if anyone knew of any sales on the phone in early to mid December?
The regular price at my local Walmart (which is where I would probably upgrade if I can't find it cheaper elsewhere) is $150 so any sales that lowers the price below that would be great and I would be willing to wait a bit longer for a better price on the phone.
So...anyone heard of any deals that don't end before the 1st or start soon after?

I did complain when it was a month early and they did allow me to upgrade early. However, they said it was IMPOSSIBLE to change my official upgrade date and all they can do is notate the account that an early upgrade has been approved. Meaning, if I go to Walmart, Radio Shack, etc they will still just see my December 1st upgrade date and won't let me upgrade.
In sum, I CAN upgrade, but only at the AT&T store or over the phone with AT&T. So, if they drop their price I can upgrade early but I would rather pay $150 in a few days than pay $200 now.
Do they still?

Bad news for me
Well I got some bad news today...my actual upgrade date is December 6th, but two AT&T reps told me that upgrades go by month and not by specific day, so they told me I could actually upgrade at any major retailer as early as December 1st.
So, I was counting on that deal at Wal-Mart but when I called them to double check that I could upgrade on the 1st I was told that I could not upgrade any earlier than the 6th and that I was misinformed.
So, if anyone hears of any deals that are still going to be valid on the 6th please post it.

[Q] Price difference.

How is it that this phone is $199 at AT&T and at Best Buy I can get it for $99?
How could there be that big of a difference in price?

That's how I ended up with my One X.
If you want the BB price, but want to buy from AT&T, check if your credit card has some sort of price protection. My card has it. I just had to call in and they open a claim. You fill out some paperwork and send in the advertisement with the price and they send you a check for the difference up to $250. I'm waiting for my paperwork for the OG right now.
BBUY price match to Amazon $50
Best Buy has a deal right now where you can sign up before Sunday to get a $50 gift card when you upgrade, but they will also price match to Amazon.
I got the price match a few weeks back and got the phone for $50. The $50 gift card would've been nice, but I had to buy before the end of last month for another deal. $50 credit on my AMEX is better than $50 at Best Buy.
tl;dr Best Buy price match to Amazon = $50 plus tax [on unlocked price].

Best buy makes commission based on how many they sell. So if it is free they make commission only but if it is more they make commission plus the price. The phones are worth 600 so either way your carrier loses money in the short term which is why there are contracts to keep you locked in. Best buy is paid by carriers for giving them 2yr customers.

Where would I get a best price for an upgrade for OG?
I tried Best Buy and they said they only activate new lines. I'm not sure if I was lied to by a sales rep so they would not waste time on customers with lower commission than activation a new line. Other places have the same attitude. It seems only ATT stores do upgrades and also phones are the cheapest there when you upgrade.
BTW, I am eligible for an upgrade (not early or anything).

Best Buy Mobile employees do not receive commission, and they also do do upgrades so you were lied to or at least misinformed but it wasn't because of commission... Perhaps a misunderstanding or a new employee, but as far as I know Costco is the cheapest right now but Best Buy will match any ones price so Best Buy is always the cheapest if you use price match.
The question is which stores have good prices on phone upgrades?
(They usually advertise new line prices only and upgrades are more expensive than AT&T store)

Also anytime you are dealing with commission there are also chargebacks. So no you arent making the salesman any commission. But if their chargebacks are abnormally high you could be getting them in trouble.

With some discounts applied, some employers/schools have it waived.

Got my Note 2 about little over 2 weeks ago for 189. PLUS got a $50 gift card that I applied towards the cost and end result was 149 bucks after tax.
What a great way to get a phone now though.. I used to always get my phones from Amazonwireless. But now that Best Buy Price Matches.. Ill be staying local till they quit doing it.

Contract price has been posted on sprint website today.
$250 with 2 yr contact (port your phone over). .

ROOTED as of last night :laugh:
Flashed the De-Odexed, can't wait for the custom roms, themes, etc.
I removed the Sprint apps, looking into what Samsung apps I wont use/like to removed those too. Next on the list is delete all sounds I don't like such as boot-up, camera shutter, low battery.

Hmm what other advertisement did you guys use to use the price match with Best Buy? And if they do indeed match it does that mean we HAVE to get a new line and new phone number even if I have a upgrade?

I just took my phone in and showed them frys / Sams club / sprints site. The manager told the girl helping me to make sure the price shown was for upgrades.
Well let's just say the girl helping me was beautiful and I made it a point to smile, be nice, and make good conversation (flirt) and she didn't verify anything just matched the price.
I'll probably go back just to say hi :beer:
No new number. No new line. Upgraded my existing line.

I paid $350 at Best Buy because I didn't want to wait for Amazon or wirefly to get it in stock to save $50.
In terms of price matching at Best Buy I had a bad experience. The manager in the cell department told me that they only price match the price of the corporate stores. That's it. Won't match Amazon, Wirefly or other websites. He even showed me on his computer Best Buy's position on cellphone price matching.
To you guys who got the phone for $250 at Best Buy I envy you... big time.

Frys / Sam's club show it at $250, I had best buy price match that [kinda-- I just got a real friendly girl that helped me out too].
I too found out the hard way BB does NOT match online retailers [not to say some don't get lucky--BUT it does CLEARLY state it on their site].
So I talked to different stores, and I so happened to go to one a few cities away since the one in my town was lazy [the system was down and didn't to do it manually]. Luckily for me it worked out great!

Wouldn't it be worth going back and getting the price match retroactively for $100?
I added a fifth line to my SERO plan. They wouldn't give me $100 credit for porting a BOOST MOBILE number so I spent $10 on a Walmart Tracfone and port that number over. Corporate store had problem adding a 5th line to SERO without changing plan so I ended up calling it in. Now I got to wait on 2-5 days shipping.

so you bought the phone at 350, then realized you could price match, came back and did a price match after the fact? Or did you price match on the day and time you did the upgrade? Because I bought two note 3's October 4th and tried to price match today (about 6 days later) and was told no, you can only price match on the day of the fact.

Sorry I wasn't clear. By took my phone I meant my old E4GT (s2) and showed them on that. If you want the discounts try another person / manager in the store. If not then try another store. If all fails you can go the route of returning them within 14 days or threatening to unless they match the price.
Good luck.

Sams Club 288 plus 40 account credit for upgrade activation plus $25 FOR 4 months credit from Sprint account services ..
Sams waives the activation fee and gives you 25 dollar credit for a few months? Seriously?

$249.99 at amazon -- even for upgrades! I believe this is the best deal out there. Mine is being delivered today.

Would Bestbuy price match that because I got mine from there

Wirefly is an online retailer so I guess ut might be ymmv on the price match.
You also do not have to pay sales tax.

I picked up my note 3 from best buy and priced matched with radio shack for the 250.

Are you switching to Sprint to get this price? I see $249 for new customers and $299 for existing customer upgrades.
Best buy price matched the 299 upgrade price
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk 2
I am an existing customer and did an upgrade. I think I got lucky. I just pulled up the radio shack website showed them the 249 and they said Ok they would price match. No questions asked.

I call BS on you guys. I just got this phone from Best Buy as an upgrade and i had to pay the full $350. I specifically asked if they price match with cell phones and i was told that is the only product they wont price match.

Added a line to my family plan since no lines were upgrade eligible and the Wirefly price wad $250. No BS.

I used to work for Best Buy, they price match phones to other "brick and mortar" retailers. At the time, they didn't price match online retailers, but that policy has changed since I left. I bought my Note 3 from Best Buy and I just got it price matched to Radioshack, $299 for existing customers.

Not every employee in every store is going to give every customer the exact same response. If you would have asked for a manager then you could have gotten yours price matched as well. Kinda ridiculous for you to say they everyone is BS'ing about the same thing! It's a well known fact that Best Buy will price match other online retailers! If you didn't know, you must not read many posts here on XDA, or any other forums for that matter. What benefit would everyone get from lying about the price anyway!? Just because you're mad that everyone else paid less than you did, doesn't mean you should say everyone is lying. Actually, that's pretty freaking lame of you! Lol

Go to another best buy. What they told you was untrue. Like I said I got lucky with the $250 that I paid simply because the manager didn't inquire any further after seeing the price on the radio shack website. But at the very least you should get 50 off.

i went to radio shack on Saturday and was 299, but they only had it white..did not buy
woke up Sunday and saw radio shack for 249. i thought, let me try best buy and see if they will price match. First the manager said no, only 50 gift card. As he saw me turn to leave, he said let me check, came back a minute later and i got the black note 3 for 249.

This may be a dumb question, but were you at the end of your 2 yr contract to purchase at that price, or were you in the middle of your contract? Which gb version is that one? 16, 32, 64? Im guessing 32
