Long time reader....first post...blah, blah, blah.
Is anyone planning on using the Verizon Wireless early upgrade program to buy their Droid Incredible? The promotion expires on May 1st and the Incredible should be available on April 29th, giving us two days to take advantage. Just wondering if anyone else out there is going to try to do this. Thanks in advance!
I got a notice in the mail (last month?) about getting "up to $50 off any smartphone." It also says :
"Take $50 off ANY smartphone or $25 off ANY other phone. Hurry, offer ends April 30, 2010."
My new every 2 is up in August, and this seems to be targeted at me to "get your new smartphone sooner than expected"
I'd pre-order this bugger, but I wonder how we can use this $50 off?? Are we flagged in the system?? Will the online pre-order page prompt us for a code? I'd go to a store to buy it, but I
HAVE to be at work at 9 AM that day. Any other day this month I could have taken off.
So I don't want to show up after work and it be sold out.
Maybe they'll give me a raincheck or something?
**EDIT**
ok while the forums were offline (Was it just me??) I gave the number on the mailer a call for some real info. The $50 off is from the marketing department, and this specific deal can only be used through them. You can not go to a store and use it, or use it online. I'd have to call back on April 29th, order it, have the $50 taken off ($150 after the $100 mail in rebate) and they will fed ex it out. And it would arrive at my house on Monday, and someone would need to sign for it.
So I guess I can wait another 4 days if I can get another $50 off then. I just don't want to be able to not get through, or if there is a limited supply, get screwed over.
Preorder on the 19th or order on the 29th and get it the following Monday? Hmmmm....
