Does NOT work for upgrade.

Just to verify. I called and tried as hard as possible and spoke with the manager but they will not honor this price if you got the phone as an upgrade. This ONLY applies to new customers or new lines.

I highly suggest the OP or a MOD updates the title to reflect this info, so that it is not misleading to anyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sixk:
Does one need premiere account or reg account for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] u921333:
So I take it that you would have had to order online as well. I went into a corporate store 20 days ago picked the skyrocket and then when note was released paid the difference. It would be awesome to actually get 50 dollars back from skyrocket purchase LOL. I am a new customer as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
i bout mine from a store 3 days ago

do you think if i say i'll return and re-buy at half off they'll save me the trouble and credit my account?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
If you bought it as a new line or new customer, then you won't need to bother, just call 611 and get the credit. If you were an upgrade then I highly doubt it will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brojoe11:
AT&T just honore it!!!

I got my note monday as an upgrade. Just called and had to get stern, but he gave me $150 on my account...:D:D:D:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
Give us more details on what type of representative you spoke with, and was it a manager? Also did you upgrade online or in store?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] copualt3:
That is what customer care told me to do since I got mine at a physical corporate store..if anything return and order online. customer care supervisor refused or rather say she cannot credit the difference.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brojoe11:
I called the regular wireless 800 number and talk to first rep that answered. I upgraded monday in local store. He really resisted but I told him that I could take it back and just buy it again...Also told him I had been with ATT for long time and didn't really want to switch...He said...hold on one minute. Wouldn't give refund, but did put $150 on my account...Hope it works for you guys...If It does, just hit the thanks button...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
Really?! Didn't know I can't read.....just like others that posted they got it on an upgrade also! Hmmm......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DarkH2O:
Here's a screenshot if it helps. I got mine with very little efforts at BB on the 23th. At first they were like " it's only for new customers" but I told them I wasn't in a contract anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edjerum:
Success at BB

Thank you so much for posting the screen shot.

I took this into a BB mobility store together with the ATT 50% off page to complete the "story" and the guy at BB took it pleasantly with no question. It was a pleasure to buy this phone for myself and my wife from BB. What a treat!!!

After purchase I called ATT and they were willing to waive one of our activation fees. We are brand new to ATT. Great to be done with Sprint. I noticed an immediate difference in the level of customer service. Also better reception and internet speeds for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cactoes Gel:
I checked the website and it's still there. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger at Best Buy in Santa Clarita, CA. I hope it's still good. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edjerum:
Good Luck!

As far as I know the online AT&T offer has not been good for some time, but that doesn't mean a BB store might not still honor a print out of the cart furnished above. Can't hurt to try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
I tried with the printout at a BB but they wouldn't honor it due to you Have to be a new customer to get the 50% off.

Also as just said, the discount hasn't been usable for Awhile now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BLASTphemus:
OMG, is this discount still available? I almost bought a Note today! I'm planning on buying one this Wednesday!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Read through it and you would of found out when it stopped, so in other word NO!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KingofKingsB:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brojoe11:

Maybe the thread needs to be closed. All you can do is try. It may or may not work for you according to who you talk to. But, IT DID WORK FOR ME.......

Think it will work if I got mine at best buy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
correct.

I tried the same thing with the same result for the same reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] u921333:
LOL I was thinking hum 150 for phone 350 for etf = 500 they are selling for 650 on ebay .... after fees walk away with a 100 dollar bill :)

But the activation fee and taxes kinda cut into it to much for the headache LOL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
what ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] u921333:
Just picking it up on my open family plan line just to turn around and sell it on Ebay. Use the profits to Pay to cancel the line aftwards and keep the left over cash.

A little risky though because if it doesnt sell good on Ebay. The profit you could make could easily become you lost money.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
yeah too much work, lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
To not give this discount to upgrade is just bull**** man! There just looking for more damn contracts and this phone will do just that. ****in AT&T

Isn't that, you know, how a profitable business would work though? Have incentives to lure in more subscribers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyukki:
So I have this idea...

I currently have an iPhone and pay 25 dollars for 2GB of data. (I am also the mainline, upgrade date is 3/20)

I want to add a line to get the Note for $150. I have an older non-smartphone that I want to use for the new line. Is it possible for me to drop the Data plan on the new line and use a non-smartphone immediately? While I take the Note and add it on to the mainline with the upgraded 3GB plan?

My guess is yes and I will most likely have to take it in to the store to get the numbers straightened up but I want some input from people who know the process better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jasonblaine23:
I am a new ATT customer and paid the full price for my Note. I just spoke with customer service and after arguing for 20 mins with them they told me what I can do is add a new line of service and pay the 150 for the note. I can then I have my current number switched to the new line and then return the original note that I paid 300 for. This is a lot of work so before I do that I am waiting for a manager to call me back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
im a new customer (came from sprint)

so what exactly should i tell them? give them the advertised URL ?

thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexmtakacs:
I spoke with a Representative. Apparently if you pre ordered you can get the 150 credited, but only if you are a standard consumer client, AKA not a Premier Customer. You are premier if you already receive a discount through your school or work.

If any premier customers manage to get the discount, let me know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jasonblaine23:
When I called them I told them I would forward them the url to show that it is a valid offer because when they try to look it up online all they do is go to ATT.com and see that it is still full price. The first person I talked to and her supervisor said that I wasnt able to forward them the url so now I am waiting for a manager to call me back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
Nah, Premier customers never get the same discount normal account holder get. The way AT&T sees it, premier customers already got the monthly discount on services, they shouldn'te be getting anything more. Not only that, my premier upgrade fee was already $36 early last year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] smikesmith3:
It works. Spent 22 minutes on the phone. Went to 3 different people, ended up at customer care.

The lady credited my bill $150 after I telling her how I fail to understand them offering a new customer such a discount and I've been paying you for 5 years after moving from my parents so a total of 12 years.

She didn't really argue it, just asked her supervisor.

Works every time, but you have to get angry/frustrated about it over the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ekerbuddyeker:
They told me they could not credit an upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jasonblaine23:
So I just spoke with another customer service rep. on the phone and this person told me to go into an ATT store with a copy of the website printed out and they can give me the difference back. Ill let you know how this goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] enside0ut:
Worked for me.

clicked link, put in infO. BAM! paid 150 waiting for delivery.. thanks for the heads up!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] copualt3:
almost exactly what I did, instead AT&T rep had me go through the whole process and he printed it out. Got 300 credit to my account(two lines.)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
Can they tell if you bought the phone from ATT corporate store or best buy in their system when you call 611?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ekerbuddyeker:
I got stern. I got angry. I got $150 credited to my account.

thanks!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TASL:
I did an early upgrade through 611 for $300 (mgr override on premier account). Read this thread. Called up, not particularly full of energy or wanting to yell and scream at someone, got a $50 credit to my account after inquiring about the possibility of a pricematch (which a mgr stated would not be possible through any dept). Not $150, but also not $0. YMMV. Total time: 5 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DarkH2O:
For those trying to buy the phone as an upgrade, their site is offering the Note with instant $100 rebate. That gets you the phone for $199 and you could still try for the extra $50 off. It may be easier to have them give you back $50 than $150.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
Where do you see that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jasonblaine23:
So I just got back from an ATT store with a print from the website that has the 50% deal and the rep. inside the store gave me a credit of 150 bucks after calling into customer service. So trying going into an ATT store
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paulishuku:
I called business support and spoke to a very nice lady. She researched for about 15 minutes and the credited $150 to my account.

It was an upgrade as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
You don't need to prove anything, but you had to deceive the CSR to get this discount I would assume, as the deal does not apply to upgrades. I mean good for you, that is cool. But if people are falling in line and calling to yell at them about wanting $150, I dunno, just seems a little low.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esco757:
+1... But as this post is proof, It seems its the American Way....:confused:.. Wait a couple more weeks and get it for a 100 bucks... plus folks coming from a Dell Streak can get $76 credit if they turn it in to BB + the $50 freedom discount, that would make it even less expensive....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paulishuku:
I honestly had no idea. I saw the first post on the thread when i had called. I just asked about and it and barely said anything. She even asked her manager about it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
Omg, this is the best deal ever. Took 3 min on the phone. I'm premier member, and it was an upgrade through Best Buy. So end up paying $100 after $150 and $50 phone freedom gift card.. Amazing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] donmb80:
First off thanks to the op for the link, second off i can confirm that this will work at best buy. Called the manager and he said as long as i brought in a print out of the cart with the discount showing and he could reproduce it they would do a price match. When i went in i had to give them the link through xda because i could not find it on the at&t website, they got a little sketchy when i did that but i showed them that it was a link directly to at&t and reproduced it for them. BAM! $300 instant credit back to my card because i bought 2. Hurry in to your local best buy while you can!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] donmb80:
Just tell them you will probably return it and order through at&t if they don't, i think they are really trying to push best buy mobile and are trying to keep their numbers up. They also got my activation fee waived when i signed up because i told them i wouldn't do it otherwise, they said no problem i will call the at&t rep and take care of it.

I just called - as of now they are NOT honoring this...I'm supposed to try back again, "they are still reviewing the information" and they are aware that a lot of customers are calling about this.

p.s., I am a new pre-order customer.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
Guys, for those trying to do this. First just call 611, and once you get a CSR, tell him/her that you saw that ATT.com is offering 50% off 2 year contract (if you are upgrading only). Don't say new line or add a line. Just say 2 year contract so they won't look for if it's invalid for upgrades. When I called, the CSR was really nice, and she said ok let me go check. After 3 minutes she said ok $150 will be credited back to your account. That's it. If this doesn't work then try something else.

As reference, I am a premier member with 4 lines, and got the Note at Best Buy through an upgrade. Hope this helps.

This really blows, I've tried three times now and every time the CSR keeps noticing that it only qualifies for non-upgrades. I never even mention that, all I say is that the phone online is 50% off. Also almost all of them kept telling me they can't do anything and that I would have to return the phone and re-buy it at the lower price. (Which of course doesn't work if you are upgrading).

Supposed to receive a call back from a manager tomorrow. I'm probably just going to bring up every bad experience I've had with AT&T and then threaten to switch to Verizon. Hopefully they will care enough not to lose an 8 year customer with 4 lines.
