ATT 50% off Blackfriday
This sale is pretty much limited to CA, NV, ID, AZ, NM, UT, HI, OR, WA, CO. You get 50% off on almost any phone (no Iphone or Go Phones included). You however have to be eligible for an upgrade or new line of service. It seems to be a pretty good deal if you are looking to get the tilt or blackberry.

i believe at&t has a 30 day price match offer that includes them dropping their own prices, so you should be able to get the difference refunded if your in one of those states.

I await your findings. I live in AZ and I just bought my Tilt like 3 weeks ago so I fall in the 30 days like you
Before I bought mine I asked them if by some chance the Tilt went on sale for cheaper than I got it for (399.99) would they price match. They assured me that it would not go on sale so I insisted the "what if". They agreed that if it did go on sale by some weird chance (like black friday weekend) then they would do a price match.
Still I'm curious what you find out.
Thanks!
TILT price match
Hi Guys!
I got ordered my tilt on 8th and got it on 12th. I think i will be eligible for Price match. I got it on a forced upgrade for 592 USD with tax. Hope i can save some money on it.
Please post your opinions and findings..
.... Raj
I live in St. Louis, MO area, although i'm not on one of those states listed, i bought my phone about 2 weeks ago from an At&t store, not a an authorized dealer and actually store by at&t and that was the first thing i asked my rep was what if the price in it drops the day after Thanksgiving will they offer me that, and she said yes, they have a 30 day price match, also i told them about the amazon.com offer of 200bux plus a 25.00 rebate for a total of 175 for the phone w/a 2 year contract, and they did a pretty close offer of 250.00 and i dont have to pay the 36.00 activation fee, so basically i paid 214 2 weeks ago for it, sure the amazon deal is cheaper, but the in person service is something i dont mind paying a little more for incase there's a mess up w/something i can go back to the store, which is only 5 minutes from me and talk to someone in person and get everything right.
So I just got back from the AT&T store and they gave me an additional $150 credit to my bill since I puchased the phone less than 30 days ago!
Anyone that has purchased their AT&T Tilt less than 30 days ago needs to contact their original point of puchase today and tomorrow only and they will recieve a 50% credit to thier purchase!
SCORE!
Wonder how that works if you bought it from the AT&T web site...
Call customer service. They might have to do a return repurchase maneuver.
Thats what the AT&T rep told me when I called in before visiting my local store where I originally purchased the unit.
What if you bought it from a retailer like CompUSA or from a website like Newegg? Will they still offer you a discount on it or do the retailers have to do that?
I spoke to an ATT rep who told me that if I go into any ATT owned store I can redeem the credit. I hope that's true because I bought the phone on my parent's side of town - hours away.
150$ Refund!!!
I called att sales today and they refunded my credit card 150$ however I didnt qualify for the 100$ mail in refund though.

what did you say to them?!
I went down to the ATT store I bought mine from and I didn't qualify for the 50% off because-
a) I didn't have the data plan added on my phone (39.99 $/month)
I would have qualified if I just added the data plan on for that month BUT it would have screwed up my super mega ultra ridiculously low plan that already has unlimited internet access.
Was anyone able to pull off the half off without having the pda connect plan that is 39.99? If so, can you PM me the phone number of the ATT store so I can call them and see if they will credit me?

I am very dissapointed. I saved up enough money to buy one and now they are all out!
Might have something to do with the fact they haven't lowered the price on the 8525s yet...bet they have plenty of those, lol!
you can stil go into the store and get it. I just got one for my gf yesterday. they still have like 2 left.
lol i got mine the day they came out (went in for a memory card for my 8525) and bought one for my GF as well. they were the only 2 they got in stock thus far.

I can wait...I was just informing other users who might want to purchase it. I can't go into the store and get one for that price or for even 399 until my two years is up which is in April.
I recently ordered one of these through my premier account for my fiancee and was told it was back ordered but they are expecting more in 5-7 business days. Also, I got AT&T to match Amazon's price of $200!

They have not lowered them through the retail channel yet but on their business site / Premier it was listed for $100 while supplies last.

How did you manage to have AT&T match Amazon's price of $200 dollars? Did you call somebody directly @ premier site? Were you able to purchase the tilt and have it shipped to you when it arrives...because I would like to do that.
Thanks,

When I call AT&T Customer Service I automatically get routed to the business division because of Premier. I originally bought the Tilt for over $400, but then I returned it when I found it for about $200 on Amazon (No Tax) and NewEgg (Tax). Before I returned the phone I talked to a CSR and they would not match the price. When I went to purchase the phone again for whatever reason neither Amazon nor New Egg could verify my eligibility for an upgrade so my orders would get automatically canceled. After numerous calls to CSR's at AT&T who were completely clueless on how to revert my contract back to upgrade status, I finally asked for them to match Amazon's price again. This time the CSR did it on the spot with no problems.
And yes I was able to purchase the phone so it will be shipped when it is no longer on back order. BTW I was not even told it was back ordered when I purchased the phone.

The last CSR I spoke to was very surprised that they did not just credit me the difference in price, instead of making me return the phone to buy it elsewhere.
Got one today
I am surprised to hear about the out of stock. I ordered one yesterday from the National Business Office and they had it overnighted to me. I just got it this afternoon.
Btw, this thing is heavy as a brick compared to the Hermes.

I knew I should have ordered it last night when I had the chance that's what I get for taking the girl out to dinner instead of ordering the phone. Oh well. Guess I will just have to wait for now.
Man, I am glad I got mine when I got mine.
Just placed an order on the national business order line and was promised delivery in 3-5 days

Actually you can. I said I had a problem ordering online and went into the store to get it. Got all the same rates as online. Just need you Premier business account info. Only thing I had to do was pay $399, but then I got a $100 rebate to send in.
Sorry if this is redundant to Black Friday post but I thought it was worthy of attention.
If you have purchase an AT&T tilt within the last 30 days, the original purchase point will credit you back 50% of purchase price today through Sunday only! (Fri.23, Sat.24, Sun.25))
I just got them to credit back $150 to my account! I thought that the credit was post rebate, which would have made the credit $100, but I got the full $299 price reduced by half! SCORE!
Everyone that can should take advantage of this rare gift from AT&T.
i believe it's only certain states that get the 50% off.

same here I'm in Missouri and I bought mine on the 13th this month, so maybe they'll drop the prices here in a week or so.
I called an ATT store and they said there's no credit back or any discount on a purchased tilt!!
what if you ordered the tilt from the premier site?? Does this count for a 50% refund?
30 day price matching
I had to physically go into the store but others were able to call in.
Don't let them bull**** you and tell you otherwise, everyone is eligible, the caviat being it had to purchased from AT&T direct.

Do you live on the west or east coast? I'm on the east and went to the AT&T Tilt page on their site. If I put in my zip code, it's still $300. If I put in a zip code from the west coast (I tried San Francisco, California), it's $150.
Called ATT just right now and they credited my account 150$. It took me 45 min and asking for the supervisor to get to it. Now im just waiting for the 100$ rebate to sweeten the deal.
I was only able to get $100.00 but I ordered it back in mid Oct. so I missed the 30 days by 5 days! But then I'm not going to sneeze at $100.00!
I just (2 hours ago) bought a tilt from ATT website for 399 w/ 100 rebate. R u telling me I can get another 150 back? I dont care if it took two hours - I would love to get my phone for 150. What is the offer info?
Damn I order it back when it first came out.
just add an additional line for $149 after $100 rebate
Can someone give me the info on the deal? I can find the 50% off select phones, but I cannot find any HTC, much less Tilt incl in the offer. I would like to get 150 back - who wouldn't? - and if I have the info I will, but what am I going to say, "People on the forum are getting it - why can't I?"? I am not too confident with that approach. If you got the deal there had to be an offer - so where can I see the offer besides word of mouth?
Please.

I just went in and purchased the Tilt and got the 50% offer. Now as mentioned it's in 'select' states but I think a simple call to a local office should suffice. I will say that when I went in, it was marked at that price too. It's basically $249.99 with a 2yr Contract (new or eligible upgrade) less the $100 mail-in rebate... here in Sacramento, CA... so net price of $149.99 after rebates + tax.
As to the refund... well I'd think you'd only be eligible to get that as if you were going to return it and re-buy it. Under that criteria, if you can do that, then you should be entitled to the refund. If it was purchased online, etc., not too sure what the specifics would be...
Thanks! I will check it out tomorrow. For sure.

Good luck! If you're within 30 days, there should be ZERO reason for them to give you any problem - provided it was from an AT&T Corp store. I'd position it as 'Well I can just return it and then re-buy it.' Maybe choose better wording but you get my point...
the torrent of swears that i have to unleash because i bought my phone 2 days too early would without a doubt get me banned from this forum.
hmm..i vvas gonna ask this today but too busy vvorking at the mall...ill ask tomorrovv
AT&T will charge me $200 for a Tilt. I can sign up for AT&T service and get it for FREE at LetsTalk.com. Is there any reason NOT to purchase at LetsTalk. Do I get the same warranty, 30 day trial, AT&T tech support, swap out if phone goes bad??
If you are buying AT&T service then Yes you will get tech support regardless of where you purchased it from. Did you read online reviews on LetsTalk. I would type in Letstalk reviews and google and read their reputation.
I'm not sure if you'll get the 30 days. Did you read the fine print?
I have purchased phones from let's talk before and was satisfied. There was an argument over whether or not we made a one or two year contract but that was settled. But for the ridiculous price reduction you can get on that site, I would say it is prob worth it. I am pretty sure there is no 30 day trial though...
As of right now, you can also choose to not add a data plan, which is definitely a plus in my opinion.
Hope this helps
Get it from Let's Talk. There is no point in spending more money for the same exact thing. I just bought my Tilt from letstalk about 3 weeks ago. I'm satisfied. The only thing to consider is they charged me taxes (website said to CA and TX residents only) based on it's actual value which came out to be about $37. If you'd like, I can send you a "Refer a Friend" email and it says we should both get $25 from your order.
Also, FYI for anyone else interested. My work is part of the ATT premier and I qualify for a discount. I've added my number and the website did says I was accepted (have to wait 2 billing cycles to verify). Some people were concerned if they bought from Letstalk.com they would not qualify for their works discount. So far for me it looks good.
I've bought phones from letstalk and never had a problem but I never tried to retrun anything.
I did try buying a Tilt from Newegg with AT&T service, AT&T didn't work at my house so I returned it, they refunded me the money for the handset but didn't cancel the account. I found this out when I got my second bill, after 30 days. AT&T was awsome allowing me to pay just what I used and not charging me an ETF but unless you know if it will work where you want it i would stick with the local AT&T store.
I saved a few dollars by buying from Newegg but it could have been a costly mistake.
i've been looking everywhere for a good deal on this phone and havent been able to find it so if anyone is tired of theres id gladly take it. thanks in advance

If you are a new customer to AT&T I suggest for you to buy it online with Amazon which has free 2 day shipping and with 2 year contract goes for about 175 (150 after rebate). I did this to obtain my fuze and I was very pleased with how smoothly I was able to save soo much money (Sales Rep at AT&T wanted 300).

im already locked in a contract i wish i could
Not too much you can do locked into a contract like that, esp if you aren't willing to break into a new seperate contract with the full data plan, I had to buy mine new from ebay for $400. I sold my Tilt for $255 and that made up for most of it.
(Viva la $15 Unlimited Media.net!)
I am not eligable for an upgrade until next December and with HTC releasing a new device of my style (Wizard, TyTN, TyTN II...touch screen with slide out keyboard) usually halfway through the year and then finally getting to the US near the end of the year, that should work out just fine.
I will just have to sell off my Fuze by then, so if you are still looking to buy one for $300 by next December... hit me up.

When I bought mine about a week ago, Amazon had up an option for existing AT&T customers. Not sure whether the offer was the same, because as a new customer I didn't follow the link, but it might be worth giving the Fuze page on Amazon a look and seeing what it says...
I was only 11 months into my 2 year contract with my discounted Tilt. if you ask real nice most store managers can still sell you a Fuze at the discount (299??). they can punch in an exception on your account right at the store. I got my Fuze for that price , but did have to extend back to 24 months under contract again. If one store wont do it, try another. You will come across a store with a manager that will do it.
I just odered it for $150 with a $150 mail in rebate from htc and LetsTalk.com. It came with a 2 yr contract with At&t. I went to http://www.htc.com/us/where_to_buy.aspx and selected usa then HTC Online Store. I then selected HTC FUZE™ (AT&T). FREE Touch pro!

Was that a new plan or an upgrade/extension? I went to the site and it does appear to be for either but when I went to letstalk.com directly the deal was only being offered for new service and upgrades were at $249. What was your experience? Thank you.
First time at&t customer. I hope they offer this to both.
hey, i'm in need of cash and selling my FUZE, let me know if your still interested
Hey guys just a heads up. I was over in the Skyrocket forums and saw some people calling up customer service to get credits put on thier bill for the $100 price different between LTE markets and non-LTE markets. So I decided to try while I didn't get the full $100 credit I ended up getting $75 bill credit. Mind you I only originally paid $125 for mine as I was paying the price difference between the Atrix and the Vivid(used my friends upgrade and gave him my Atrix).

I upgraded the same way as you. How did you get that to work calling in since you didn't purchase it on your account?
I guess they just looked at my account and saw a Vivid and seeing as it was a non-COR store they couldn't look up a reciept.
What did you tell them? I called and they said they don't do price matching against the store. I guess I could tell them I bought it online, but I'm pretty sure they can check that I bought it in-store.

I told them that I find the practice of having 2 different prices on a device depending on where you are located is bunk. I could seriously just drop my service and go elsewhere...I'd rather pay the cancelation fee and move my family and friends with me. The NYC market is seriously only an hour away so I asked for the difference in a bill credit as my store was a dealer and would not help me out.
I got $50 credit only, but I guess is better than nothing . I told them I drove to California today and my friend got exactly the same phone this morning for $99. I kinda played fool and I told them that "even right now when I check online (presumably to be in California still) I see $99. How is possible they already discounted the device, not even after a week". They told me that zip/area code thing (that I've already knew about of course) but in the end he gave me $50 credit towards my account . I guess it also depends who rep you're talking to, got lucky maybe, talked to a guy.

I went to the AT&T store where I picked up my Vivid. They wouldn't give me the $100 difference, but they gave me $100 in accessories, so better than nothing.
