Walmart price match $199

;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] juwttt:
That is awesome, could you please share the link that walamart has the note ii for att for 199. What do you mean by "(p) Customers"?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RMXO:
I'm sorry but can you rephrase what you just said? Do you mean you got the SGN2 for $199 by being nice to an ATT CS rep?

If so. Can you provide more detail? Also, how do you get Walmart to match $199?

Please provide more detail since your post is like a tease.

Grats & hope you can help others get an awesome. I would get one by wkend if I can get it for 199.

I'm guessing he means Premiere customers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Artimus009:
I searched on Walmart wireless...no dice. Unless he provides how he got att to match and how he got the price from Walmart... this is bogus.

Hey...if he does...I'll eat crow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bolm86:
I would love a link to that price. So I can get best buy to match it on Friday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dvdmkr:
I'm a Premiere Customer. and I guess you extended your current plan..

How did you get it for $199? More Detail Please!

Not taking either side here, but when radio shack was offering the GRAY HTC One X for 49.99 pre order, it seemed like a no brainer so I ordered it. Went into my local ATT with reciept- not only did they match the price, they allowed me to walk out with a white one on launch day. Remember they were going for 199 @ the time.

Just saying, deals are possible...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] williams3803:
I was able to get mine for 199 too.

I had called customer service this weekend and asked about ordering the note II.Now since I am a premier customer I had to talk to regular CS. At the bottom of the page on the GN2 it says limited time offer: up to 100 offer. I specifically asked if this 100 discount was already taken off of the current price or if it would be applied to the 299. I had 2 specific CS reps tell me it would be off of the 299 price. So basically making it 199. I had both of them make a note on my account stating it would be 199 after the discount. So I called and talked to premier today and they tried to give me the run around about the 199 price and I told them I had spoke to multiple CS reps and they stated it was going to be 199 after the discount. I also mentioned that it should have been noted to my account. Once all was said and done the CS manager said that since I was told the price would be 199 and it was documented on my account twice they would agree to that price. So he said to pre-order it online and to call back to adjust my account the 100 bucks. I was also able to get my activation fee waived and since I was a Premier customer I got the $25 bucks off of the order. So basically I got this phone for $175 plus tax. Not too shabby!! It also had a spot when ordering to choose FED EX Next day AIR for 14.95. I opted for that and hope it will be here tomorrow. GL to those that are going to try this and I hope this thing gets here quick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbogusbaxter:
Yikes me Bad, Sorry i should of been a little more specific.

AT&T Premier ...aka (AT&T/P)

I contacted them inquiring a local Walmart ad (instore not online) offering the device for a $199.99 / 2 year upgrade.

What made this even more strange is that right in the next shopping center, there is an AT&T store (299.99)

So I called AT&T/P to simply inquire cuz it is $100 bux diff. + being limited to purchasing devices solely via (P) website, etc...

Sort of a bummer that we cant take advantage. The rep was kind enough to look at history and kindly got an approval to order the device at $199

I wasnt really pushing the 'give me or else' leave the opps open to a billing credit, or anything else of the value and they will easily sort something.

Here is the fact...They usually always do.

Also remember this, the world of strict inhouse / innetwork phones is RAPIDLY coming to a demise.

With Google phones & a billion other options to purchase better devices and cheaper from China...

You would be surprised how much the ropes are starten to loosen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbogusbaxter:
---- also forgot to mention...I was NOT even eligible for an upgrade until next Feb 2013. Again courtesy asking....sometimes Courtesy doing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhigh:
There's always one of these threads and as usual, they are usually created by members without much of a posting history. There will be those who get it free like me, too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RMXO:
I called Premiere CS & they said that the $100 is already account on the $299. I wasn't able to get them to reduce it to 199.99.

EDIT:

WOOHOO, after 6 unsuccessful calls, I finally get a regular CS rep (the Premiere CS rep couldn't help me at all) that was willing to help me out. He was kind enough to give me the $100 discount but on the next bill only. He said that he see's on my account that I've been trying to upgrade to a Note 2 but keep on getting disconnected. That was the only way I could get $100 off the 299.99 pricing.

So here's the final pricing w/ discount & credit on next bill

$270 (so I got an extra 29.99 off) w/ free 1 day shipping

w/ a -$116.57 credit on next bill

I'm so STOKED. Thank you OP, I believe in you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] funtimez:
new here but have been watching the xda closely lately cuz im getting a sgn2, with that said i am not concerned of the price, money comes money goes that the way of life just like *****'s. anyway i have been monitering my premier acct with att and it hasnt ben updated since oct 27. i called again today to get some answers cuz it just says processing and its supposed to ship today but the att ***** like always couldnt help me so i said **** u ***** and cancelled my order. ill just go to the store first thing friday morn to pick my **** up. just wondering if any1 else had issues like this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] poolings:
Congrats on the savings! May I ask which Walmart you saw the ad in? If possible, could you upload a scan? It would be nice to get some sort of savings since AT&T is reboxing the phone without the headphones and the Samsung cool box. :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] justanothernoob:
BTW Thanks for being that guy who ruins all of the Customer Service reps for the rest of us and putting them in a bad mood because the world doesn't revolve around you....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] williams3803:
Well, I don't post much on any message boards. The only reason I actually posted here is because I actually got the deal, just a different way. I think if it helps anyone else get a better deal on the GN2 then it's worth sharing. Just sayin....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bolm86:
Any chance you can give us the area where the ad was run?? The zip code maybe to look up the ad on walmart's site to use for price match.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] F123D:
To start off, I get a 20% discount off handsets from my company.

I spoke to multiple reps talking about how I'm considering leaving to AT&T and just getting Nexus 4 off contract and getting the T-Mobile 4G nationwide truly unlimited plan for $70 a month. I was able to get $125 worth of credit toward my bills. I was also able to get the Note II for $275 (plus additional 20% company discount) which made it $220. Free 2 day shipping and activation fee waived.

With the discounts and credits, I ended up getting the Note 2 for $95 before tax on a 2 year contract. :good::D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] imitenotbecrazy:
My note 1 was "junked out" by best buy. They gave me around $800 store credit (they give you their retail price which is 750+tax) and then I'm having them price match ATT outright cost of 650. I should make $100 store credit to best buy on the deal. and BOOM goes the dynamite.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] funnycreature:
Honestly, I don't know how long she's been a customer for but at least for 4 years. If all else fails I will talk to our phone rep and ask if there's a company upgrade available for me :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kebran:
Just got it. Called 611 and after being on hold to talk to the supervisor a couple of times got $100 off and activation fee waved. Thanks for the heads up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slicingtaco:
Any luck doing it in-store?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] quarlow:
When I went in the store looking for cases, the rep said they would have done the early upgrade and price matched if I had gone in there instead of the phone. But YMMV.

Sent from my Note II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kkl0wn:
I got $60 back and the activation fee waived. Not bad for a > 10 minute phone call.

I probably could have gotten the full $100 but I didn't want to argue and have to wait for a supervisor and argue some more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pclaunch:
I got mine for $105 out the door at Best Buy. Had them match the Wal-Mart online price plus they gave me $175 in trade for my Note I. Very excited.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] netnerd:
I'm not saying anything. I just shaking my head.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jtdroid:
Tried twice today with no luck. Which prompts are you guys using after dialing 611?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] projekt1:
The first time i just went to the Sales Orders and Upgrades prompt (3 I think). Second time I chose sales I called the 1800 331 0500 as it was provided earlier in the thread. That number just led me to Premier CS as well and with no luck. The third time I called 611, used prompt 3 again and got a CS from Cancellations Dept. and magic was made.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] williams3803:
I actually got my first note2 on preorder by adding a line for 199. I called back today and early upgraded my wifes line to the white gn2 for the same 199 plus since this was our second samsung device I was able to get an additional 100 off of that. So 1st note2 for 199 and the second note2 for less than 100. Att is running a deal right now if you buy 2 samsung devices you get 100 off of the 2nd device. With both gn2s they waived the act fee, shipping, and tax. Hopefully this will help someone else get a smokin deal too!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wuelfman:
after a couple calls to att finally got someone to do for 199.99 :D

however they where having problems with the computer and could not finish ( they where going to have to ship it) bestbuy had it in stock.

when to try to finish the order there, after one more call to ATT got it to take home!!!!

activation waived. then traded in to .01 vivid phones for $170.final cost for the note 2 $29.99 WOOT

note1 went to the girlfriend
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slicingtaco:
Can anyone please post some instructions on what to do when you call the 611 #. Also does the account get billed to? How would it work if ur upgrading and need to sign a contract again? What should i ask when i speak to CS? A little help would be sweet:cool::good:

Through my employee accomodations site we get the same deal afte a $300 mail in rebate and activation fee waived. I called AT&T customer care and they didn't even bother to see how much I paid for my Note II, which was $275 from my premier site, but they approved the price match but gave me a $300 credit on my account and refunded my activation fee as well. Hope this helps.

How often do carriers match other carriers' prices?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dafoxs:
Rumor

Walmart is at 249 right now

Black Friday

Walmart 249, you get 100 dollar gift card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeIII:
They do it quite often. But it probably helped that when I bought the GN2 I opened a new line and have been with AT&T since 2001. Without being mean or anything I told the guy that I could just cancel the line since I'm still within the return policy and open the new line with T-Mobile instead. I had a really good CS rep who didn't give me any push back and understood the situation. With no questions asked he just immediately went to get the approval.

OMG Thank You. AT&T should price match that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rev1775:
I just called and got both a 100.00 rebate and the activation fee waived on my note2..

I simply was extra nice to the CS rep and stated I've been seeing a lot of folks getting it and just wanted to see if I could also qualify. At first she was hesitant but in about 10 minutes of her checking and me "sweet talking" the service and phones up, she gave me both.

My bill was due the 18th and now no bill and a 36.00 credit for next month as well....

Thanks to everyone here for convincing me to give it a go!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dara.parsavand:
I just tried via 611 and said I was looking for the best deal I could get and I've read online that people were getting as low as 199.99 (I know, even lower in some cases). They wouldn't even do the 275 available online through the corporate user discount page I was seeing (that page is hosed for me - it wouldn't work as it pops me out to a login screen that won't accept my normal account info). Maybe I'll wait till Black Friday and see what I can find at the stores (I assume I'll get stuck with the $36 activation fee + whatever the store charges). Who knows, if I wait long enough, maybe the 32 GB version will come out. I hope other people had better luck than me. I've been with AT&T since 08 (and on a different plan with my parents for 5 years before that). I really don't like them to tell you the truth, but they have the best reception at work (due to an exclusive arrangement with my employer and them for microcells and corporate phone contracts). Home reception sucks, but the microcell at home works most of the time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RipplingHurst:
Got it on my 3rd call, 199, no activation fee! Great!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jtdroid:
4th call and I finally got it for 199 with free priority shipping. First 3 calls I went with sales and upgrade and they wouldn't budge. 4th call I opted for line cancellation and took all of 5 minutes to get it for 199.

T mobile has it for 199 until tomorrow and I just pointed her to their website. She price matched immediately.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slicingtaco:
Weird how the local AT&T retails don't price match (i called and asked and said they didn't) but CS sure does. Guess who is calling CS tomorrow morning begging for a price match. ME:D:thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] volumnus:
I got an account credit.

I paid $299 for a Note 2 on Wednesday night via the cancellation department before I saw this thread. I threatened to cancel if they wouldn't let me upgrade. My upgrade was only three weeks away. They let me upgrade to a Note 2, but I had to pay $299. I called the cancellation department tonight and explained that a lot of people have been getting the phone for $199. It took the lady about ten minutes, but she credited my account with $112 and some change. She said something about taxes. I feel a lot better about the price now. This thread was really helpful. The customer service at ATT is good, but their coverage in Tennessee leaves a lot to be desired compared to Verizon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tenshiru:
Success!

Called retention and told the rep about tmobile's price. He couldn't lower the price but gave me a $180 credit towards my bill, waived activation, free priority shipping, 6 months free messaging, and 2000 rollover minutes. Way more than what the price of the phone is, Imo.

Got it in white and can't wait!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] projekt1:
When you told them about Tmo price did you give them a link? Did they just take your work for it? What exactly did you tell them and what they ask?

I already got my GN2 but I'll get one for my wife if I can get it for less than I did mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tenshiru:
I told him tmobile has it for $199. He looked at my account and I told him I just bought a s3 3 months ago. He just said he'll check tmobile's Site. He couldn't find the price (not sure why as he didn't ask me to double check) but was willing to give me a credit as oppose to taking it off the purchase price. I was okay with that.

He then ask if there was anything else he could help me with and I randomly asked about text messaging which he was happy to give me. I then asked him to check my rollover because I was 55 minutes away from my limit and he said, "oh yeah I could give you 2000 rollover minutes too." I also asked about data but unfortunately there wasn't anything he could do in that department. I was happy with what he was able to do though.

Fwiw, my 2nd line's contract (which is the one I upgraded) is up tomorrow.

You guys just saved me 117!=)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slicingtaco:
I just saved $136 (-$100 & $36 activation fee) + plus free shipping and handling. Guess its easy to get when your a loyal customer for 12 years. I am so HAPPY:D:thumbup::rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MDavisiw:
1st try, spoke to a very friendly lady in Utah. Got $112 off (100 + activation). she couldn't put anymore comps on it. Also the att store knocked 50 off to price match wal-mart.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Suzook1:
One last bonus. Called in to see if I could early upgrade my wifes line. No go but a super nice lady said to addna third line (which im not interested) then said she will add $10 off family messaging for life. Didnt even make me do anything else. $120 savings a year!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tenshiru:
i'm not sure what you're paying for family messaging but the rep i spoke with this morning said they have a special where family messaging is $20 instead of $30. if you're paying $30 and able to take advantage of that promotion, it will save you another $10/month. just a thought. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 45ACP1911:
Man you guys are awesome. Took me 2 hoursand 3 reps. First call went to premier and he wasn't budging. Told him to transfer me to retention she only wanted to give me $65 off for one time $35 of four 3 months or the $10 of family messaging for life so I declined and all she kept saying was they have no control over deals that stores offer and kept trying to get me to change my plans to help save money. So I told her I'm done with her and going to t-mobile. Called back in one more time got a really nice lady and no questions asked gave me a $256 credit for the 2 note 2's that I got for me and my wife. I also asked about the $20 messaging thing but she had no idea about it which wasn't a big deal at all. Also a few days ago for my activation fee waived. If you're persistent you'll find someone that'll hook you up!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chikou:
I bought mine for 299.99, saw this post and then proceed to call at&t, and I talked to 4 different cs rep, each of them not willing to give me discount of 49.00, and only would honor 199.00. Hung up called the 5th guy explain to them that my "friend" who is also a note owner got the deal for 49.00 also and i dont see how come a long time aT&T customer as myself couldnt. CS rep agreed and put me on hold gave me credit of 250.00 + taxes and etc and waived activation fee and turn out to about 259.00. So as well all my experience with AT&T its a hit and miss guys.

Please note posting late, but this is in refference for limited time tmo had offering. didnt have to provided any proof other the story i gave them.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] funnycreature:
What is a FAN discount and will you get credit on your bill or did you pay less up front?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fongher10:
Got the phone for $100 with

free overnight shipping

waived upgrade/activation fee

-10% discount to monthly bill

Getting it tomorrow, happy camper for my first smartphone :)

Edit: forgot to mentioned I've price matched it with last weekends T-mobile deal of $50 with a $300 rebate O.o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] funnycreature:
Willing to share any more details, please? I'll be trying to get a deal after Thanksgiving so all the advice I can get is appreciated :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvmac11:
I paid less up front. FAN discounts are discounts given to employers, depending on what they opt in for. Example, my dad works for AT&T and our discounts include 60% off handsets, 40% off accessories, and 19% off service.

Check here: https://www.wireless.att.com/business/authenticate/

Although I'm not sure how to enroll.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fongher10:
Just a basic price match. I had already ordered the phone from T-Mobile but wanted to try my luck with ATT since I really abhor T-Mobile. After I was transferred to a supervisor I told her I've been a long time ATT customer and I had just ordered the phone from T-mobile and wanted to see if she could give me the same pricing. She said no but offered the $100 instead of the $50. So I immediately said yes because $50 is better than going to T-Mobile for me :)

And since I had Advantage for T-Mobile and Enterprise for ATT I got the 10% discount (company discount). All fees waived and got overnight shipping because of the Enterprise discount.

I'm not sure you can price match now since the deal with T-mobile is over but you can always try. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Unlockme2:
I was 2 months away from my fully discounted early contract extension. I wouldn't be fully free from ATT till mid 2013, and I got the phone for $299 in store on the release day after getting approval over the phone. There was no activation charge spoken of, just CA sales tax.

Fighting the urge to call ATT and ask for credit, and just feel happy I got the phone, but it doesn't help I still have no multi-view. You guys are such Trolls!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] m0nkeyf00t:
took me 5 calls 2 to retention department and 3 to upgrade but finally got the 199 deal,through upgrade department, and got them to waive upgrade fee and free overnight and 75 credit on acct. so try and try again its a cs service roulette 2 offered me nothing and one 274 lol before i finally was able to swing 199.
