Well, the early upgrade price is $399...it seems that ATT is being picky about offering up the rebate anymore.

You could try going to best buy with the promo applied in the cart, and try to get $150 off that $399, but other than that you're probably SOL for getting it before your upgrade.

I'm sure by the time your upgrade rolls around that there will be other promos or discounts, so I would suggest being patient. I have to wait till the summer, so I'm hoping it's at least down to $150 by then with a straight upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
Yea I got a feeling ill have to wait. BB wont be able to because att wont change my account status to eligible. They did try to offer it to me for $250 but why would I do that when I could possibly get it lower haha. I wont pay more than $200 and that's still alot to me. Sad part is theres been people on here getting the phone With the discount Months ahead of their date yet I can't just 3 weeks away! AT&T is flipping Ridiculous. Rather give mad deals to new or add a line but wont budge for existing long time customers.

I did print out the checkout page with the discount added so Maybe when I get my upgrade I can possibly con BB to still give it to me haha

Thanks a lot OP, gave it a shot and got a $100 credit. The best part was that I got my Note from best buy for $250 with a $50 promo they were doing so it came down to $150, and the old upgrade fee of $18. Thanks again :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] specineff:
Works Great!! Thanks! Now my Note where I got it from BB is $100.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hiii_imkris:
I upgraded my line in our COR store and called premier last night and told them that my friend and I upgraded at the same time. Told them that he called and got a $150 credit to his account from the price drop. She put me on hold for about 5 minutes and told me to go back to the COR store. Told her they couldn't credit in store because it was more than $100 and she went ahead and did it. $153 credit and I sold my Skyrocket for $200. Made $53 on this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
Did you try online or in a retail store? My upgrade date is march 5. I went to a retail store mid February and they were offering to upgrade me early without me even asking but it was only if I got the tethering option. She even gave me a card signed by the manager with the agreement on it. Then I went to see the phone the Monday after they arrived and the sale rep that helped me earlier was not there. I asked the one that was helping me if I could upgrade earlier (my plan was to try to get the early upgrade without the tether) but he did not even check with anyone and told me it could not be done and it had to wait... I went to another store the next day and they too were willing to upgrade early but no manager on the store to do the override. I was a bit gun ho at that time and call their phone sale department. The only way that sale rep will upgrade me was with a 250 cancellation fee... Talking about being short sighted. So you are willing to piss off a customer with 14 years of "devotion" with 5 lines and not upgrade him because he still have 15 days left in his contract... IDIOTS!

It really comes down to the sales rep you are talking about or the manager in the store. I decided to wait, let y'all worked out the bugs, AT&T drop the price and then I will pounce... Will definitely try to get them to upgrade me for $150 if that offer still up. I think I have a good chance to get it done...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] parth6512:
Thanks OP! Got credit of $201 to be exact. Called in and told the rep I bought the phone couple of days ago for $300 and I saw a price drop of $150 today. I guess he misunderstood me and gave me $45 credit first. Then I said the price dropped $150 not $45 so he came back after few mins and said ok I'll credit you another $156.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
It was over the phone. I talked to a CSR first then asked to talk to a supervisor and the supervisor gave the same bull****. Told him its sad that a customer of almost 10 years can't get a deal as a new or add a line and that they would let me walk away without question.

Pretty much been break dancing all day!

Yup got it! Plus the tax, Bought my SGN (early upgrade) at the local at&t store on the 19th, and received my credit today to my bill by calling the 611. Thanks OP!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
Yea that would be possible to those that Have the money to fork out thus being most of us getting stiffed trying, that dont

Big Dogg Infuse I997 ZeusB5 ICS!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
Got it! Must have made quite a stir there, lol.

Called up the 800 number and pressed the option for ordering. The first lady said no way, so I spoke to her supervisor. She also said that it was just not possible. They both said that I would need to return the phone, then wait until I was eligible for the upgrade again, then order it on-line. I was starting to get genuinely mad, cuz any real store would not make you do that...

After arguing with the manager, told her I would call back on Monday and hung up. I then immediately called back, but this time I pressed 0 for general coustomer service. This lady said the same thing so I had her put me through to her manager. While on hold my caller ID showed that AT&T was calling me on the other line! So I answered and a lady apologetically told me that they were going to offer me a credit!

Then my home phone rang and it was another person from AT&T stating that they would give me a credit (for $198!), so I had a different phone on each ear at the same time...

After getting that squared away to my great satisfaction, the pone rang again, and guess what another person wanting to give me a credit! I should have told them all yes...

The key for those of you yet to try, is to drink a couple cups of strong black coffee until you are practically vibrating. Then you are in the proper frame of mind.

BTW, the last lady I spoke to said that since the Notes had gone on sale for so cheap, they were now actually in the process of issuing refunds to people who paid full price, they were just running behind, "So its a good thing you called". Not sure what that meant...

Anyway, this is why I have been with AT&T for over a decade. They always come through in the end...:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
Wish I could afford it to get it to get the refund but I just want to be able to purchase it at the discounted price on my upgrade like other people, even the ones with upgrade months out yet I can only 3 weeks away.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drpeachfuzz:
Thanks for this tip... I got a$100 credit after I readily admitted that I purchased my note from Amazon. I then proceeded to call Amazon for a return label and ordered 2 new Notes from the AT&T Site.... :-)

Love this device!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carhigh:
Boy the price people are able to get these at after *****ing to att over and over, is getting lower and lower.

I just called and complained and got a almost 700 refund so I got my phone for free. Well actually they paid me to keep the phone.

Your all far to into the competition of this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truaim:
I think Ima call again for funsies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
Its obviously easier to get a refund than get the discount.

They've given some people early upgrades with the discount months out but wont budge for others that are days to a couple weeks away.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] g00p:
FOR THOSE WONDERING ABOUT THE PRICE WITH UPGRADING EXISTING ELIGIBLE LINE:

Ordered through Amazon wireless for $249 2/23/10. Saw this post after doing some further online reading about the capabilities of the phone (my first android).

Calls to AT&T

#1 Transferred to someone in India and call dropped upon hello. Have a feeling that would have gone no where

#2 Waited 9 mins on hold after talking to someone who seemed real apathetic. Didn't progress beyond explaining situation

#3 Talked to nice lady with Premier. Ended up getting:

$101 bill credit to compensate for the Amazon purchase overpricing.

$149.99 + taxes Galaxy note for my second line (yeah!)

$36 activation fee waived

$36 activation fee waived

(note in the account, I have to call back in a month to finalize waiving of activation)

= TOTAL SAVINGS OF $322.99 with this one successful phone call.

I wasn't mean, just very appreciative of AT&T's good service. Through my employee discount of 17% my monthly bill WITH taxes for two 4h smartphones will be $110. Not bad, especially considering my quotes through any other provider for 2 4G phones was around $150 monthly with the minimum family plans.

I didn't see an expiration on the promotion, yet. Google "50% OFF AT&%" (I can't post links per noob)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
Take That AT&T!!

MEGA THANKS TO OP (and everyone else who posted their success)!!!

I just went up to my local AT&T store with my receipt, a copy of the web receipt showing the $150 discount, and a copy of the AT&T Chat Transcript that someone posted here. Clerk took my information into the back where the store manager looked at it and came out and told me that she couldn't give me the credit and that if I wanted that deal, I would have to return the phone, cancel the line, and add a new line of service in order to qualify for that pricing.

I asked her how much a bare bones line of service would cost (voice and data). She replied about $70 bucks a month. I asked her if the new customer off the street was worth more to them than the customer that's been with them for 10+ years and is spending over $300 bucks a month for 4 lines of service. She of course said no, but that there was nothing she could do for me. She told me she was sorry she couldn't help me to which I replied "No...you just DON't want to help me"

Frustrated, I walked out of the store. Sat in my car. And called 611 on my Note. I told the gentlemen that I purchased this phone on 2/17 for $300.00 and that AT&T had a promotion on their website for 50% off. He verified the promotion (he didn't mention anything about it being only for new lines) and proceded to credit me the $150.00. He sent me an email confirming the transaction. With the email displayed on my screen, I went back into the AT&T store (I was sitting in their parking lot talking to the rep on the phone) and shoved the Note into the Asst. Manager's face (the manager was "in a meeting") and told her that I was able to get it done in less time than it took to get someone in the store to even attend to me! She apologized and said that 611 (corporate) has different policies than the AT&T Corporate stores do and that's prob. why they were able to help me. She told me she was glad I got the discount. I then walked out the door.

Moral of the story......

611 Customer Service reminded me that there are all kinds of promotions on the website that are not usually available in store. The corporate store manager reminded me that 611 has more power than they do.....so......Check the website...place orders online....get help from 611 (they seem to ask fewer questions) and let the corporate stores ROT!

Again...thanks to all those who posted about this. I wouldn't have even known had it not been for our trusty friends at XDA!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] g00p:
I've had great luck in calling occasionally and checking the website for lower monthly service plans. I ended up with around $110 for 2 4G smart phones a month because I've always used it more for media consumption than talking, and thus have lowered the minutes to the lowest possible.

My mindset is, if you accrue any rollover minutes you can lower your plan, since it's wasted money! Folks, call and check the website occasionally, sometimes there are great deals with At&T, in my case 40-50 cheaper than the competition a month right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MarkStinger:
I am eligible for an upgrade on March 18th. I went into a store over the weekend and the salesman offered me an early upgrade on March 1st since I plan on buying the Note. I was excited but then I remembered that Best Buy has that $50 gift card promotion so I will lose that if I buy from AT&T. I tried calling AT&T customer service to see if they would change my upgrade date on their systems (so I can buy from Best Buy). No such luck. Has anyone had any luck with getting your upgrade date changed?

However, I am tempted to still upgrade for $300 at AT&T on March 1st and then try for this 50% discount. It sounds like many people have been successful. I could always tell them I'll return the phone if they don't give me the discount. Any suggestions from everyone here? Should I buy from AT&T in a few days and try for the 50% discount or do you think I'll be stuck with the higher price because the store is upgrading me early?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
Best bet is to do what I'm gonna Have to do since att wont budge on my upgrade neither (3/16) and wanted to offer me the phone for $399!! I'm going to wait till my date and go into bestbuy as they do price match and I've seen more people here saying they got the discount with them when showing proof, which I printed the checkout sheet showing the 50% off.....hoping it will still be valid haha

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Has anybody had success trying to get it discounted as they upgrade through best buy? I had my dad try to walk into our local best buy with the cart printed out, and they denied him the 50% off with an upgrade. I am going to try this weekend with the best buy in my college town, but if anybody has done this already, please share any tips! I would really hate to have to pay the full $300 then have to try to get the refund on our account, as that would require shelling out $300 without a guarantee of getting the refund. I know I could return it if getting the refund doesn't work, but I would rather not go through that whole hassle if somebody has any tips.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
Make sure your cache is also cleaned. If that don't work try a second computer if you have access to one. I saved a copy of that screen since I'm not eligible until next week. I will reprint another one the same day I go if the deal is still going. I think that if I don't get the deal on upgrade I will just wait a month or two.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
Also make sure your Not signed into your account as it's only sapose to be for new or add a line Not upgrade

Big Dogg Infuse I997 ZeusB5 ICS!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imprez55:
Nope, still doesn't work for me anymore. I got it to work with the Skyrocket, but no go on the Note anymore. I think they might have changed if it is included in the deal, even though the only phones excluded are supposed to be the IPhones but I guess they consider the Note a tablet (which is excluded as well).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MarkStinger:
Yeah, same here. The discount no longer shows up for the Note. :( I went through the same steps as a few nights ago and I am definitely not logged into my account. I added the two required plans (900 minutes + 3GB data) and it shows the total price as $317.99 (we have 6% sales tax in Michigan). Bummer. Still a great phone and if you got in on the deal that Best Buy offered recently you can get an additional $50 off if you buy a new phone in 2012. I think others have said that Amazon also is selling the Note for $249 as long as you are eligible for upgrade. It's awesome so many people got this deal though. :)

Edit: I even tried this on a browser that I have never used for accessing AT&T, let alone many other sites, and I get this message at the top of the screen:

"The current promotional discount cannot be applied to the items in your shopping cart. We're sorry, the conditions for "Up to 50% discount" have not been met."
