VIP question..
What's the story on being a VIP member? They say I'm a VIP member, and I just assumed it was because of I get a discount for where I work.
Story is.. I used my early upgrade to get my girlfriend a Chocolate 3. The phone was $149.99 with the 2year contract renewal, and then the lady said because I was a VIP member I also got a $50 MIR. On top of that we got a 2gb micro SD card, $50 pair of Sony headphones, and a data transfer cable for free.
I thought maybe she got the free headphones and stuff because I was a VIP member?
This was last weekend. Now fast forward to today.. I got a flier in the mail for my girlfriends phone number saying she was eligible to upgrade early. So I used it to get me a phone. I got the enV2 that was ...

VIP does not include a memory card and a data cable. That rep either 1. cut you a deal or 2. charged you for them but quoted you one big price and acted as if they are included in the price gratis.
VIP includes 50$ off 2yr pricing every 12 months with the annual upgrade. waived fees (phone book transfer, mtn change, early upgrade fees, etc) free 2 day shipping 25% off accessories etc.

She must have gave us a deal then because we only paid the two year contract price of 149.99+tax.
We got the phone, the $50 Sony headphones, 2gig microsd, the data cable.
Now I'm not sure if technically it's a data cable. Her charger plugs into the wall, and then a USB cable plugs into it which then plugs into her phone. I figured that doubled as a data cable. She hasn't even opened her box, so I assume theres a normal charger in it. My stepdads Chocolate 3 came with a normal charger.
Good to know about the 25% discount on accessories!
Thanks for clearing that up.

the chocolate3 has a data cable/ac charger combo in the box. It shares the charger with the Dare, the new blackberries, and some of the newer motorola's if you want to get a normal one.
As for the other ACC, I know that some stores will give them away for free depending on the plan you get, and if their managers are pushing for higher acc totals.

Sorry boss, it is 30% off accessories. If you want to PM me your VZW email address, I would be more than happy to copy and paste that information over to you.And yes, I do work for VZW

who says I work for VZW? you can email me it on here or post it if you want.

The free stuff you got sounds like a promo and is definitely not part of being a VIP member.

you should have received a discount on phone.
Instead of that they put accessories on and used your discount to pay for them. You were probably eligible to get the phone for $99 before rebate with your discount. So they added the headset and memory card, took off your 25% discount on accessories, bundled it into the $99 for phone and sold it to you for $150 telling you accessories were free so they could hit their accessory quota. It is still a good deal, but that is what it sounds like to me

OK . . . I've read the threads but how do you get to become a VIP?? I've been a VZN customer forever, have 4 phones on a family plan, upgrade all the time and never was offered anything. 😲
