My wife and I have an online store and want to drive more traffic to our site. We are creating coupons that you may redeem online only. Having said that, would you rather (if purchasing an item ~$30.00 USD) . . .
(A) 10% off coupon on your next purchase.
(B) Free shipping on your next purchase.
(C) Other.
well first off, i live so far away that it doesn't matter to me, but i think that the decision would be easier if i had an idea of what it is you sell.
ie free shipping means nothing on something which would fit into a flat envelope, and 10% off a next purchase wouldn't be great if the product costs $$$s to ship etc.
or if the products are a thing you may want more than one of then a 3 for 2 offer (or similar) or buy this and something free
but anyway i would prefer free shipping, it makes it so much easier to search and buy online, and i hate having to search a site for a product and then search the same site to find the shipping costs
Honestly, I tend to shop at stores that offer free shipping. Or Free Shipping with $50 order or whatever. I hate getting my cart all ready and Thinking, "Cool $99.98." Then Going to check out and getting charged $128.56
we typically charge $5.00 flat rate for shipping. we can't simply increase our price on all our products to always have "free shipping." so we're thinking about adding coupons to the shipping boxes to increase traffic to our site and/or repeat customers.
Hi I’ve been angsting over which device to buy and finally decided on the tytnii so now I’ve been searching around for good places to buy it (at good prices). Places like expansys seem to be out (horrible reviews) and most other places seem to be selling it in the mid $700 range. Amazon seems to be the best bet at the moment (not ideal but can settle) however I wanted to check and see if anyone else could recommend any better places for cheaper prices.
A wee bit of background. I’m working in Afghanistan at the moment, will be going back to the states in about a week (then coming back to Afg). Sh*t happens here so it seems like getting a warranty/insurance would be a good idea (looking at squaretrade.com at the moment) which would set me back an additional $180 or so.
Any suggestions on getting a phone for a better price, insurance, etc would really be appreciated!
Cheers

You didn't mention who your provider is. If you have ATT you can get them new for $549.99 (retail price) and if you don't mind signing a 2 year contract on the line you can get a good deal below:
New ($299):
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...etails/?device=AT&T+Tilt(TM)&q_sku=sku1060009
Refurbished (149.99):
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...s/?device=AT&T+Tilt+(Refurb)&q_sku=sku1190046
As for insurance I've seen this place recommended a lot:
http://www.safeware.com/
if u r going to sign 2yr than get from amazon.com as they have fantastic prices.
p.s. i got mine for 75 after 50.00 mail in rebate w/2yr.
Amazon has a great price, but the fine print. Conditional $250 Discount
The Price listed above for this phone includes an instant $250 discount from Amazon.com. You agree to repay this $250 discount to Amazon.com if, during the six-month period following the activation date or renewal date of your existing contract, you: (1) fail to pay your balance due each month on time; (2) fail to maintain your account in good standing; (3) disconnect the line of service; (4) transfer the phone to another line of service; (5) change your service rate plan, including canceling or removing required PDA, BlackBerry, or smartphone features after your product has shipped; or (6) use this line of service to replace an existing account with the carrier. The discount is available only if you are activating a new non-substitute line of service or extending an existing line of service. If you do not follow these rules, you authorize Amazon.com to charge your credit card $250 as reimbursement of the discount without need for further approval."
I would stick with AT&T.

Sale Price $ 648.95
The front camera isn't work that much to me. I can get a tilt for a lot cheaper.

Thanks, the policy looks nice but the cost is a bit out of my range ($200/1yr where as the other is $186/3yrs)
Just wondering what kind of deals people have seen on the Bionic. It almost seems like 3rd parties werent really pushing this phone. I know Costco had an ad with some accessories, but I also saw in the ad that it might not be on opening day.
Has anyone else seen anything worthwhile?
unfortunately nothing special as of yet. i have heard that you can do the $100 off trade-in deal if you are upgrading from a non-smart phone. other then that just accessories.
I got the 100 off for using a non smart phone upgrade then 50 off the new every two rebate. See what happens.
Phone Arena's reporting Costco's doing $280 + a nice accessories bundle.
I was in Costco today. They said they would have 8 tomorrow at this store. He wouldn't say the price but claimed it came with $170 worth of accessories including a dock. He did say they would be cheaper than the Verizon stores.
I am seriously considering this phone instead of my Droid Charge.
Im getting rid of my Charge for this phone. I just cant take the battery drain any more.
I wonder if Amazon or anyone else will be running big specials.

Probably be some deals within a couple weeks, but I doubt it this week.
I just logged into my verizon and the upgrade price they have for me is $249. I totally expected $299.
I got this price by logging into the main phone account on a family plan and attempting to upgrade a secondary line.
$249 at amazonwireless
$50 for NE2, $30 off as loyalty bonus, free o/n shipping.
So one major gripe most reviewers had has been reduced. At $219, unlimited data and rooting it seems like a better deal, somewhat worthy of the delay.
I guess all new smartphones would receive such discount, but by most accounts the bionic is a capable phone and a significant jump from my D1.

For new customers only, unfortunately. Upgrade is $249.
wow didnt know verizon had it cheaper. was about to go to BJ's to buy it as I usually do, since the price for the phone is generally the same and they have better deals on the accessories. Thanks for saving me the money.
EDIT: just went to VZW and it only wants to give me a price of $289 with no loyalty bonus. I am part of a family plan but that shouldnt matter. I have been eligible since july for upgrade. amazonwireless says its backordered.
Checked this morning and:
Wirefly.com was $249
Amazon.com was $199 ( backordered)
Letstalk.com was $199
I'm hoping BJs/Costco will drop the price to $199 and waive the activation fee for me
Walmart.com also has it for $199. stores don't have them yet. Just checked. Don't want to wait though. Plus I'm always paranoid about a 3rd party seller screwing up my plan and charging me extra. Especially my unlimited plan.

$269 in store plus $100 trade-in credit for old phone when adding a line.
Can anyone confirm the $249 price with verizon for upgrading a current line?
I am secondary on a family plan, and my upgrade isn't until 9/13, but the extra $50 off makes the deal a little easier to swallow. As far as loyalty, we have been good customers for at least 5 years, not sure how they do their calculations as to who is "loyal"

I am also secondary on a family plan and the best I got was $289. Just got mine a little while ago. Been with verizon for 8 years, but only 2 have been on the family plan I am now. Guess they dont count the other time before that.

My mistake, this price was listed on my verizon for me because I had a $50 phone credit that I was unaware of. When I asked the verizon rep he said that all family plans are credited this $50 every 20 months.
I went in to the store today and got the Bionic for $289 without an upgrade and almost 50% off some accessories. Got the phone $589, a extended battery and door $49.99, case and holster $29.99, HDMI dock $99.99, and screen protectors $12.99 plus 24.43 tax and out the door for $431.63. Saved $375.75
Looks like someone made quick work and already posted a Nexus 7 from Google IO on E-Bay. $600 for those who can't wait!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nexus-7-Tab...-2012-Android-4-1-FAST-SHIPPING-/150846459594
they can keep it, there is no way i will pay triple for that tablet
Someone else also posted for $1500. Another individual is selling his pre-order copy for $400. The ways people think of making a quick buck...smh
some people are just desperate to make some quick buck. I would keep it if i were them.
Capitalism at work. Don't hate the seller, pity the buyer.
I just found one on CL for 999, LOL.

Why? With the money they earn they could buy a new Nexus 7 with plenty left over!
$400 seems reasonable. After taxes and whatnot my 16gb is 300ish. Throw in shipping+insurance and a little money for their trouble and that's not so bad for someone in a country that can't buy these. If you're somewhere you can buy them I don't really see the point of buying from ebay/CL/etc
cheap in USA?
the current exchange rates is USD-1:AUD-1
It is $250 in oz and only $200 in the USA!

That is insane isn't it? If only it were $200 as well...

I know tmobile recently killed the discount they offered top-up card resellers, but there must be someone who is still offering some sort of discount. Anyone know of any websites that are still/currently offering any sort of discount?

None that I could find. You could still buy $50 refills for ~$40 from eBay as of last month, but even those seem to have dried up.
Yeah, I couldn't find anything. I spent 2 hours searching this morning, and all I could find were some pretty shady sites that offered no more than $2 off. I even enlisted the help of my sister, who is into extreme couponing and can find a deal on ANYTHING if you give her time.....nothing
I finally just caved and topped up the old fashioned way. If anyone finds anything I would greatly appreciate a heads-up, though. I'd love to be able to save a few bucks from now on!
Try prepaid-refill.com... I've bought tmo refills from that site a few times with no issue. They have tmo refill deals from time to time, I bought a $50 refill for $40 the other day and yes I know the risk involved with using this site.

You can still save a buck or two on tax if you use callingmart to buy refills, they charge zero tax for tmo prepaid. Saves me a little over $4 a month

yeah, I noticed tmo charged about $4 in tax...wasn't very pleased when I saw how much it was, but I think next time I'm going to do just what you said....every little bit helps, and it really adds up over a two year span which is what a standard contract would be, assuming I had one

This is what I do. The fact that it has no taxes and it's instant is really nice. I do miss the extra dollar or two savings they did offer, but it's still worth it over going to a store or something.

At the risk of bumping an old thread, this is great advice. Also right now $30 cards are on sale for $28.49, so with the 5% off, no tax, free shipping, it comes out to $27.07 per card.

Target sales on prepaid cards usually last a week so I'm guessing this deal is good till Saturday night.
I know this is old but best not create a new thread.
anyway, just dig around and wow these discount are completely dried out. eBay and Target even sell $100 refill for $105. Cost more than face value. Wow. Buy directly from T and have to pay tax. So my $10 refill is almost $12.
More then 10% off on the t-mobile refill
