Rebate peeve

I just wanted to see what others thought on this subject. I went to Verizon and bought my wife a new phone and bought myself the new curve. I paid full retail for my Curve and am selling my Like new pearl to offset that cost.

But they won't allow me the manufacture rebate of $50.00 I think that sucks. I understand not being able to get the contract price if not up for a upgrade but a standarded rebate come on.

Thoughts? 👿

Sure it would be nice to get a rebate when paying full retail, but then it wouldn't be full retail..it would be full retail with rebate. Rules are rules shrug.

Verizon still has a better upgrade policy then anyone, i got my curve for 100 bucks!

Nice you got a deal on the phone. I am selling my Pearl it is a few months old but brand new shape. Someone will buy it. It will offset the cost than. I do agree I like Verizon better than others

Well i called back in to internet sales and got a price match on my NE2 and the 50% red hot deal days discount. Plus the 100 off for online and the $50 mail in rebate i'll actually end up making a penny.

I have purchased a lot of phones full retail and have never had an issue getting rebate back. You may not be able to do it, but they have never caught it on mine and i have received probably ten rebates from full retail over the past 3 years. I however purchased my phones at a premium retailer so my receipt didn't say ineligible for rebate across the bottom of it. If yours doesn't say that on it I would swing into a agent location and ask for a rebate form(just tell them you are from out of town and cannot find yours) then send it in, 90% chance you will get it back. Like i said i always get my rebate when I pay full retail.

At my store we always give out rebate forms for retail purchases and advertise the rebate in the price for retail. There are no issues getting them.
