Tried 4 times, got shot down 4 times. They said no one else has called and received a credit, and that's something they just don't do, they won't match 3rd party retailers.
I'm going to be taking mine back to the store. If they won't give the credit, they'll be keeping them. We bought 2 of these, so that's $300. I've been an AT&T customer for over 15 years, maybe it's time to move elsewhere.
I can't help but ask why some of you are doing this? I'm all about getting a few extra bucks... but really?
Now AT&T's going to raise our rates even further because of all the freeloaders requesting "price matching" and threatening to take back a phone if they don't get 3/4 of the price they paid a month ago.

I'm sorry but are most of you new customers with AT&T? I bought mine at Walmart a few weeks ago for $148.88 with a contact extension. I have been checking online for the best deals, and currently the best one for contract extensions is at Wirefly for $79.99. Does that mean if I call AT&T (or walmart) and try to reason/argue with them I can get ~$70 credit back? I originally told myself I wouldn't even try this unless I would get $100 or more back. Well my situation has changed and I would be happy with any money I can get. So should I try it?
P.S. I'm not that great of a bargainer like many of you may be lol.
FYI.. The Captivate is now on sale at Wirefly.com for $9.99 with Free activation and shipping!

You really don't think your entitled to the price difference when other vendors are selling it for less than half the cost? I know AT&T does not have to do price matching, but why not pick up a phone and call asking for a credit? I mean come on, really....how hard is picking up a phone and dialing 611 - 0 - and talking to customer service. Oh, and AT&T will never raise their rates because of customers asking for a credit.
Dude, five minutes of my time got me my full purchase price of the phone ($100) plus $90. Do you make $2280 an hour? If not, I would submit that it's a worthwhile endeavor.
ATT was willing to give this to me as the money was worth less to them than my business. They got something. I got something. What's the problem? I really was ready to jump ship to Verizon for a couple of reasons; not the least of which being the Droid X's apparent full functionality right out of the box. The fact that they essentially paid me to keep the phone was enough to keep me from doing so. They bought me back - at a good price, I might add.
