Everyone should get $30 credit!!!

[FierceDeityLink1]

Why do i get "Criteria for ***** promotion were not met; no discount was applied." when i try to use the promo code? I am doing a 2 yr agreement.

You have to call and ask them to credit your account, probably after you activate it. It would be a good idea to call before you order and see if they can place a note on your account to honor the credit.

Of course, all of this is dependent on them knowing about the code. They will either say it's for new customers only or have no idea about it whatsoever. If you're lucky, you'll get the 1% that will either take you for your word or be able to type in the URL.

ugh what number u calling? i tried *611, CSR is saying she's never heard of it. Her supervisor is saying the same thing. Keep calling?

 

[XDaydreamerX11]

Why does every post mentioning price disregard tax? Perhaps because I'm in CA, but I paid $50 in tax (based off full price of phone) and any credits/discounts are more than helpful!

How much are you guys paying for tax on this phone?

With PA state tax I paid $6.00 tax. I feel so bad for you



I called and the guy said that I would have to MAIL the phone back, and then reorder the phone. So I said, "let me get this straight verizon would pay double shipping instead of letting you credit 30 dollars to my account?" He said "Yes ma'am."

Interesting... LOL

*611 is telesales and won't know promo codes.
1 800 711 7773 is customer service
1 866 338 7390 is internet sales

Try internet sales. It might take a few calls to get a good rep.

I said the same thing and they still wouldn't budge. It doesn't make any sense. Send a letter to their executives. Here are the ones whose email didn't bounce back:

Well I tried giving this a shot as well but the guy had no idea what I was talking about and wanted me to forward an email or some proof.

 

[BBock727]

eh gotta try tomorrow, verizon is now closed!

 

[BBock727]

If someone gets it to work can you please get the CSR's email if possible so maybe we can deal directly with him/her?

 

[FierceDeityLink1]

Well I tried giving this a shot as well but the guy had no idea what I was talking about and wanted me to forward an email or some proof.

You should have sent him this link: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...action=removeOrder&cartIndexLocation=1&path=2

Perfect! thank you, I will try and call back tomorrow and see if this will help. The guy said that he would make a note on my account that I called and that I would try and provide the email proof. Hopefully this will do it. If it works out for me I will get the CSR's name just incase it will help others.

 

[JETC]

Didn't work for me. He said it's for new line of customers and even then, the person would have need to order on the 26th of May to get credit. Oh well, I tried.

Keep trying imo. Even if it takes you an hour, which I doubt, $30/hr isn't bad.

Lol...I guess. Although I do get paid more than that >_>

/me calls some more

This is how I got my $30 SMART30 discount after I activated Incredible yesterday.

Most of CSRs are not familiar with SMART30 code...

It took me 27 minutes, but I got $30 of each line (I have Inc's on both lines). THANKS!!

 

[tats_06]

I don't know about calling 611, but did use it at checkout at vzw.com and it worked flawlessly.

 

[RG34]

I went to Best Buy and they honored the coupon code with adding a 2nd Incredible to my line. YMMV though, the 1st Best Buy said no.

I'm calling Verizon tomorrow to see if they can add the $30 credit to my 1st Incredible purchase.

Thanks for posting!

 

[paimon.soror]

Just a heads up, I called back and provided the CSR with the link from FierceDeityLink1. He put me on hold for a few to talk to his supervisor, came back, and told me I will be getting a 30 dollar credit

 

[Topshelf]

Didn't work for me. He said it's for new line of customers and even then, the person would have need to order on the 26th of May to get credit. Oh well, I tried.

Just for reference, this code is valid from 4/26 to 5/3. So call back tomorrow as it might be your last chance.

 

[ac2basis]

I did this via 611 today and it took about 3 mins. The rep knew exactly what I was talking about. He was pumping me for info on the phone as he isn't getting his until Monday. wish I saw these posts earlier would've gotten name and contact info. Sorry guys

 

[TheSultan]

I called last Sunday or Monday and complained that people were getting this and how I unhappy I was. After about 40 minutes of my complaining she caved and gave it to me just as the OP got it.

 

[cygone]

I talked to the sales representative yesterday. She told me that the code only valid after June 1st.
I didn't give her a hard time after that.

i called customer service and he told me that if i was able to get it, and he wasn't sure, that it would be available may 1st. so i sent them an e-mail to customer service (billing problems) as follows and received their answer included below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Primary Subject: Phones and Accessories
Secondary Subject: Phone Rebate
Message Body: i installed a new line (202-604-xxxx) HTC Droid Incredible bought on-line. all my buds are telling me they are getting a $30.00 off coupon called SMART30 Coupon Code. (http://androidforums.com/htc-incredible/68480-save-30-incredible-verizonwireless-com-3.html)
since this is a new line/activation and i am also a long-time customer like my buds, can you apply the same coupon code to my account? i am loyal verizon and love verizon.
