I also got the phone for 100$ off. The rep I talked to didn't check for the deal and just gave me 100$ off because I said the deal wouldn't work online. This went very quick about 20 minutes and this was the first time I called them that day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] biggggant:
I think about 14 months. I got the first note on release week
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AjV510:
Can't Beat Free!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] imitenotbecrazy:
I think I still win since I'm making $100+ from best buys protection plan and getting a note 2 for free with no contract. Yours seems to take the contract cake though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AjV510:
Im using the Note 2 at the moment,, Plus I never heard of bestbuy giving a free phone away..And what did you win? I think I got a great deal. A free NEW Note 2 with a 2 year contract isnt a bad deal when you think about all the people getting Note 2 for 199.99/249.99/299.99.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArtificialMusik:
Im not really having any luck here. I want to try and get the device upgrade for this phone and they won't allow me to. I upgrade the day the Galaxy S 2 came out. Also removed their useless phone insurance because they made me get it at first and then later on told me there was a deductible when the phone broke. Wish I had some way to get the Note 2 free or get them to credit me for the stupid charges over the months.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] imitenotbecrazy:
It was a joke. I only won in the fact that my note 1 broke and best buy cant fix it. Their protection plan gives me their retail cost back in store credit ($800 with tax) and I'll use that to buy my note 2 and match att outright at $650. No extension of my contract and I end up with $100+ in store credit. But yes you got a great deal too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wtharp2:
Did anyone purchase their phone from a retail store and get the $100 credit?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] knimrod:
It took 3 calls and about 60 minutes total but after talking to a CC supervisor, they issued a $136. credit on my bill.. I didn't even have to order the phone. He said I can just shop around and find the best deal.. Checked my bill and sure enough, there's the credit.

Now, I just need to find the best deal I can....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Suzook1:
worked for me

just got off with CS. Applied a $100 credit to my bill. Gave me the one time exception blah blah blah routine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] conflict0102:
Worked

Just confirming, got it for $199. I ordered the white marble note II but I have some concerns.

I googled "6035A galaxy note II" and found a thread on androidforum of someone mentioning that 6035A is the SKU for titanium grey.

Can anyone confirm this to be true?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
How quickly did u get u r confirmation email? I ordered mine yesterday and have not received my email.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jonathon1710:
I did.

I purchased the white Galaxy Note 2 last night at a local retail store and called Customer Service this morning. The first lady I spoke to was more than willing to assist me. She credited $105.86 towards my current bill.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] conflict0102:
I got my confirmation email while taking to the customer service rep. He told me to accept my terms and conditions or else my order could be canceled.

He was right this is what the email said about terms and conditions:

"To complete your order, you must review and accept AT&T's Terms and Conditions as well as the binding arbitration clause at https://www.wireless.att.com/tc. NOTE - Not accepting will result in the cancellation of your order."

So i clicked the link and accepted my terms and conditions.

If you did not get a confirmation email, I would call AT&T and find out which email they sent the confirmation to.

I hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ReDaved:
It is the grey one

I think you are right, found this on the ATT site

Item SKU: 6043A(Samsung Galaxy Note® II - Marble White)

My 1st guy kept trying to sell me the Note 1 whew

good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
My terms and condition was done online. I want a conformation order. Mine still say processing when I check online. I think its because I ordered the white one and it takes 7 days to ship.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ReDaved:
hours

I ordered mine over the phone, early afternoon yesterday and it took hours to get the email.

finally this morning i have a valid tracking number. It should be here monday!! yahoo!:laugh::D

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

Um... wow, i never did any terms and conditions... i hope the tracking number is still good.

i eventually received several emails, but none referenced the t/c [going back and reviewing emails...]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
Was urs the white one?

Sent from the TermiNOTEr! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] conflict0102:
Thanks, I couldn't find the SKU the first time cause its located all the way in the bottom. Sharp eye ;)

I wanted the white one cause I never had a white phone before. Ohh well I guess I'll settle for the grey, or I might take it to the AT&T store and try to get it exchanged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RopingMyDreams:
$175 account credit!

It took two calls.

First call to 611 was useless!

Second call on Friday morning was a jackpot!

Explained that I am seeing people report $100 + free activation.

On Galaxy Note II. Was out on hold several times.

The Rep Asked where I was soon was sering this and I

told her XDA Developers. More holds...

She said okay but this is an exception.

She wanted to stay to take an order.

I then asked if I could pick it up at Best Buy, I like

Their warrentee options better and I am going there now.

More hold.

The said she would note this credit on the account

continent on purchase.

None of the Best Buys had it in stock so I went to an AT&T

Store and got their last one at 10:45 am (release d a y)

This was their 5th to sell that morning.

Sales man did see the reps notes on the account and said Wow!

On the was out the Rep called as she told me she had earlier.

Processed the $100 credit asked if anything else.

I asked about activation fee waiver.

More hold...

She came back with that and another ccredit. .

Okay I was just wowed.

All in all I will get $175 credit to my account with

$299 + tax spent at the store.

Thanks for the FYI!

Brown.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] netnerd:
I just called, this girl is clueless!

She said 399$

I said my coworker just bought one at 199$

She said you need to go to store for that.

WTF!

I just went to store yesterday and they not willing to give me at 199$

update: just did an online chat, she said i have to call them place an order.

i'll just wait for amazon wireless, costco, bestbuy to have it, then get it there. you know they always cheaper than att store!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] WIZARDfan:
1st Call did not work and would tell me $399 price. 2nd try was not able to give me a credit on my account but said could sell for $299. After few holds and manager talk, I was able to get it for $199 and overnight ship. Works since I don't have to wait for credit.

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

Good luck getting cheaper price anywhere on this phone. Walmart is selling it for $250 but with new account only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nickel Dime Bay:
I've been with ATT for 7 years but im not upgrade eligible until July, has anyone else gotten them to give an upgrade with a new contract anyway?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mypantsaretorn:
Thank you op! Took a 5 minute call to 611 and got the $100 + tax credited to my account.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] conflict0102:
I'm not upgrade eligible until January 10, 2013, but they let me upgrade my contract, gave me $100 discount, no activation fee, free 2nd day shipping, and no tax.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rpmbnsf:
I have a feeling you will go through life with "issues like this" because of your attitude, and it will always be someone else fault.

I know..I know...I should not feed the troll...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] WIZARDfan:


---------- Post added at 02:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

find this hard to believe. Specially the tax part...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rpmbnsf:
All I can say is being nice always pays off...even if it does not work the first time. I also think how long you have been a subscriber to the phone company definitely helps. I called in tonight and simply told the truth - how I was reading others that purchased this phone had received an additional $100 discount. Could I get the same deal even if I have already placed my order earlier today over the phone? The CS lady came back and gave me $137 off my next bill :) Less than 5 minutes on the phone.

Thanks all for this heads up!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] conflict0102:
Unless they add tax later on which I highly doubt, my total is exactly $199. I called once and got a new CS rep, told him that Walmart offers note II for $199 (its not $199 its $249 i checked on their site), he told me all he can do is wave my activation fee and give me free shipping. Then I told him that I'v been a customer for 8 years and was never late on paying my bills. He said he's going to go talk to his supervisor. Came back and said he would honor the discount. The whole ordeal took less than 30min. I check my email and it shows $199 for Galaxy Note II and nothing else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bookem11:
I must admit I'm usually skeptical of these kinds of threads. But I decided to give our a try and my first call to 611 was success.

Marble White Galaxy Note 2 on its way for $199. They even gave me credit for sales tax!

For whoever was asking about early upgrades, I wasn't eligible for an upgrade until March 2013. And still got the deal.:thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] netnerd:
Too much trouble to get that 100$!

Called twice. 199$ no deal!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] quarlow:
I got my shipping confirm, it says it will get here on Wednesday. I called about the shipping. Not to complain, but clarify when to expect the phone, because I won't be home on Wednesday, expecting the phone today or Monday. Mentioned in passing about the $100 discount, and it was a shame I couldn't do my early upgrade at the Walmart to get it. Put on hold. The rep came back with $128 credit for next bill. I had been put on the shipping for 3-5 days, instead of 1-2 day. Only took a few minutes.

I echo some of the others. As someone that has worked on the other end of the phone, you are more likely to get "exceptions" if you are nice. Yelling and escalating works for some, but its faster and easier to just be friendly, nice, and patient.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RexEscape:
Quoted below is my story. Here's an update...

Called the next day, no deal. They wouldn't give me the $100 credit.

Called again today. "As a valued AT&T customer, we'll credit you the $100 but this is just a one time blah blah blah." Awesome! I share the same success stories as some of you. I also got it for $199!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AjV510:
That is awesome. I want everyone to get a great deal. We desreve a deal with the money we fork over month after month.. do people have phibe phones anymore? Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cheiftokitdown:
Ive tried calling a few more times with no luck. Now they have seem to have added notes to my account so they automatically say Ive seen you have called about this before there is no discount on the note 2. No mater who I talk to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJHile:
Successfully got a $120 credit to my bill this morning. I purchased the N2 on the 9th at the corporate store for $299 so I was within my 14 day return period. I told the cs rep that I was just thinking of returning it and taking advantage of the pricing for $199 offers by other companies but she insisted that was not necessary and she would credit my bill. Nice and easy... wasnt even on the phone 10 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dflohr:
Called 611 2 minutes on hold waiting for a rep

Explained (nicely) good customer for many years, 4 lines, $X / yr, no returns ever, part of a "users group" of Galaxy Note users, many of the other members of the group getting the same phone for $199 and it didn't seem "right or fair".

Offered $100 credit immediately. 2 minutes on hold and came back with total credit of $111.

Total time involved ~6 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] netnerd:
I give up! After 3rd calls, still no deal at 199$.

She said you have to order at att.com for 199$.

Thinking of going to bestbuy if they will match 199$.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aridon:
40% corporate discount on handsets. Total was $180 plus tax. Should be here Wednesday or Thursday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] netnerd:
Screw it! Going to att store and pay 299. You know there will be sale on black friday at other places. If they don't give me difference, I refund it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] quarlow:
That's cutting it close. They changed to 14 day buyers remorse periods.

Anyone seen any Notes in the BF ads? I have only seen a few ads, and didn't see a Note.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] meatlocker:
Just got off the phone with AT&T. Initially the rep wanted to 'split the difference' with me and give me $60. I then pressed him on the full $100, especially in light of the fact that, when I went to have my Note II activated Friday, the local AT&T rep at the store SIGNED ME UP FOR AT&T UVERSE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!!!! Yeah, you read the right. At the store, I was given the standard Uverse sales pitch, which I said I was not interested in. I left the store, and didn't bother to look at my paperwork. Last night I did, and I flipped a wig. The little a$$hole actually did it, she scheduled an installation at my house for next Friday. Holy $hit, that takes balls.

Needless to say, the appointment has been cancelled, I have been refunded my activation fee ($36) and my bill has been credited $100. I am going to be calling the district manager in the morning, an lodging a formal complaint. Unbelievable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] arpanj2:
Got Mine for 75$ (no tax no shipping)

I followed this thread and gave it a shot. I was getting originally getting the note II for 175$ with 0$ Tax (Thanks to Portland :)) and 2 day delivery (0$ for Premier Customers). The deal of $175 was because of premier discount for the certain company which gets handsets at 100$ off the base price and 25$ online order discount plus state tax and Delivery.

After i placed the order - i called the customer care and asked them about the rebate. The rep said that she needs to get an approval from her supervisor. She called me after 30mins and said that they will be able to give only 25$ as there is already a discount which was passed over the phone. I requested her that since everyone is getting the 100$ discount - can she atlease post 100$ as a credit - she put me on hold for 15mins and woola - she credited my online account. In the end - i paid 175$ and got 100$ credit - thanks to everyone who posted their success stories! You guys are awesome!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] projekt1:
To everyone who has had success, did you have the phone pre-ordered or purchased prior to calling CS?

Reason I ask is because I have NOT pre-ordered or purchased the phone but I'm wondering if I can just call them and say I want to order one and ask for all the credits/discounts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] arpanj2:
Mine was an online ordere on 10th Nov but order was processed over the phone - and discount over the phone in another call!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dc496:
Still trying to get this deal. Called twice with no luck. Third time she said that the phone isn't even in their system (???).

Will keep calling.. may have to try tomorrow when there is a bigger pool of cs reps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nimski62:
Worked on second call.. Total time to make 100$: 23 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] greatbrother:
it happen to me too tonight.i didnt sumit that term and condition yet..what can i do now？call back to asking for exchange？
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] WIZARDfan:
I am in the same boat. Get the phone and then try to get it exchanged thru mail or at store
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosaj13:
First try!!

So I purchased my note in store on release day and was charged $299 and the upgrade fee. Called CS this morning and let the guy know that I read about people getting instant rebates. He asked how much the rebate was and credited my account $100. He even credited the upgrade fee without me even asking. Wow!!! Gotta love ATT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] redrider54:
Woo that was easy! I got mine first try!

Helps being nice and a long time customer!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Egypt1337:
Got the $100 discount when I called CS. Waiting for confirmation that they will credit me another $100 for being on hold forever. Note 2 for $100 is not bad xD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] projekt1:
Just to be clear, I must already have purchased the Note 2 prior to calling CS right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mastergrim8:
Yeah I want some clarification as well. All I've seen in this thread is people getting $100 off and there proud pics but no one really had instruction.

I've been an ATT customer for almost 8 full years (since cingular), and I've been eligible for an upgrade for a month now. Do you think I can get the Note 2 for $100? Also should I go in store or just call customer service. Not to sound like a noob, but this thread wasn't very helpful with the exception of maybe 10 posts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dc496:
Success!

So on my sixth try I was finally able to get someone to give me the $199 deal.

I called and said that one of my lines erroneously showed that I was not due for an upgrade (which was true), and the rep was more than happy to correct that but said I couldn't get the Note 2 for $199. I then told him that my store was willing to honor that price and that if he'd just place a note on my account saying that my line was eligible to be upgraded, I'd just go to the store and get the discount.

He then put me on hold and asked where I saw the discount. I told him XDA-Developers. He and his manager had me guide them to this very thread step by step so they could see it. They still wouldn't agree but when I insisted on the note being place on my account he came back with the $199 after a hold. He said he couldn't waive the activation fees waived, though.

Finally he waived one of the activation fees and I ordered two phones for $450 and some change including taxes and $15 for priority shipping. I didn't push for free shipping or anything since I thought I was getting a great deal. I think I'll call back in a few days and request a $36 credit for the other activation fee.

But anyway, the deal works!

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

No need to have pre-purchased this. I called (six times albeit) and was able to get the $199 price upfront, as noted in detail in my post above.

Basically just call 611, tell them you've seen the commercial about the $100 off of any Galaxy device, and tell them you want the Note 2. They may say that's only for the Galaxy S3, but insist you want the Note 2 (nicely) and tell them you've see 15 pages of people confirming that they've gotten the deal. Tell them you saw it on XDA-Developers if they ask. I actually had to guide my rep to this very thread so he and his manager could check it out.

Eventually after a few calls you'll find someone that will be willing to give it to you. May take a few tries. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, just post and I'll try to answer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] junos12:
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much OP!!

I succeeded on the first try.

I called 611 and just said i heard people getting $100 discount on the note2 and I'd love to know if there's any deal available.

This nice girl went to talk to her supervisor and came back after about 30 sec to let me know I'll get 100 credit on the bill and also free priority shipping so I don't have to wait too long.

Probably took about 10 min, this thing works!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SIXINONEDAY:
Happy with ATT for a change!

I also have mine on its way. To clarify, the model you want to order for the white one is 6043A I317. I wasn't up for my early upgrade until December 9th but explained to CS that I was in desperate need of a new phone and they sold it to me for $199 (with Next Day Shipping) after 57 minutes with the CS agent. They also waived the activation fee. I have to pay tax because I am in Texas, but much cheaper than the $399 that I was originally told I would have to pay for my early upgrade. I should have my Tracking Number tomorrow. Be sure to accept the Terms & Conditions in the email they send, because that cost me an extra day and another 30 minute call with CS. If all else fails, ask to speak with 'Customer Retention'! That will get the job done no matter what the circumstances are. Order Type: Upgrade

One-Time Charges

Phone/Device:

6043A I317, $199.99

Activation Fee or Upgrade Fee

$0.00

Term of Service

24 months

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Projectdwnshft:
thank you so much OP, Friday i went in bought a Note II, and 2 GSIII's and got no discounts, called them just now and got almost $400 credit to my account
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sunhak:
Thanks for the information. i was able to order a gnote 2 for 199.

my upgrade is not until next month but they let me upgrade early.

I asked for a white one but they shipped a gray one. I guess I'll just stop by a store and get it exchanged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] maximu5:
Success on fist try

Thank you all!!! I went ahead and tried this since there's nothing to lose and told them that people were getting this phone for cheaper ($199).I was told he couldnt drop the price but what he could do is adjust certain things like waive my activation fee and pro rate charges and he ended saving me $105 plus off my first bill! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattPhillips:
1 phone call to AT&T, 45 minutes later and the supervisor approved the $199 early upgrade price with free 2 day shipping and waived activation fee! CS rep was very nice and listened to everything I had to say.

Told them I have 2 AT&T wireless accounts along with home phone/internet and have been a long time customer. Told her their are 16 pages on XDA Developers forum of other AT&T users reporting they got the $199 price. Didn't even have to give her the URL. SWEET! Now I can't wait until the Otterbox Defender is released for the Galaxy Note 2!!! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] brad.k:
1 phone call 20 min. $199+tax shipping and activation waved. Was not due for an upgrade until Oct. 2013. Amazing. What I did, told the rep. about the $199 Wal-mart price. She checked with her manager for the early upgrade and $100 discount. Boom, done. Should be in my hands by Thursday.:good:

Thanks to all who posted this amazing deal!:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JdeFalconr:
Same thing here! Just got it. Don't think activation was waived but considering the deal I got I'm OK with that...didn't want to push my luck.

On request I provided her this page URL. Long hold for about 10-15mins. At first she indicated that as there's nothing official on AT&T's website they couldn't honor the price. Then I mentioned that there are 16 pages of people on XDA who got this deal, and asked what I needed to do to get it. Brief hold. She came back and said they would honor the deal.

As was mentioned earlier in the thread I made sure to be polite and patient. These phone service people take alot of abuse and I wanted to make sure to be kind to them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] projekt1:
When do I get the email? I've been waiting for an hour.. Just wondering
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattPhillips:
