Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / July 2005taking advantage of amazon rebates
I am thinking of switching our Tmobile family plan over to Cingular's family plan. I looked on Amazon and they have some great rebates on there when you sign up for an individual plan. Has anyone signed up through Amazon and then switched over their plan to a family plan once the phones arrived? I was wondering if the rebates still go through. Getting two moto razors for free just by making an extra phone call would be awesome. Thanks! >I am thinking of switching our Tmobile family plan over to Cingular's > family plan.

I don't know how that rebate would work but I am about sick of Bellsouth/Cingular rebates right now. They can make for a good deal but they are a total pain in the butt. I just switched My home phone service and internet to belsouth and cells to cingular because of the deals I get by bundling them. I had to fill out SEVEN rebate forms to get the deal I was offered $100 to switch home phone service to bellsouth $100 to get bellsouth DSL and Cingular Wireless $100 Rebate for DSL modem $50 Rebate for DSL activation $50 Rebate on first Motorola V180 $50 Rebate on second Motorola V180 $30 Bonus Rebate on first Motorola V180 So I get $480 in rebates but my first phone bill was $510 that I had to shell out all at once. Now I have to wait for these SEVEN rebates to trickle in one at a time over the next 2-3 months. Next time I will just say no to rebates Yes, you should take advantage of rebates. Rebate mfg's recognize that only 2% of people will actually take the time to do the rebate. I would encourage you to do the rebate, because the money is yours, and if you can't find a better deal, then the money becomes theirs. Alas: my web site affiliation uses rebates. Better would be giving you the money savings up front; but historically, people don't always keep the plans, and the person who "runs" keeps the phone, and someone has to collect the early termination fee. Alternatively, the agent loses his commission AND the phone. Some rebates (like mine) are for meeting the minimum requirements for me to keep my commission. Others are just "dumb" and hoping you won't collect them. Hard for anyone to tell the difference between the good well meaning rebates, and those that are just a pain in the bum. I hope mine are easy to understand. dr  Signaturedr.news Better Price?

Which is the reason you should not do it. If enough people just said no to rebates they would go away and they would just offer realistic sales prices and we would all win. I have done my last one. > Yes, you should take advantage of rebates. Rebate mfg's recognize that > only 2% of people will actually take the time to do the rebate. It's gotta be higher than 2% for a $100 rebate. Where do you get that number? I could understand the $5 rebates on a box of blank DVD's getting that low of a response... Steve anyone ever use a1wireless? looks like they let you submit multiple rebate forms for the razr on a family plan but make you wait 6 months to do it. hmm... I do not know AMAZON rules but Cingular would do it this way. Each new line activated would qualify for the rebate. Are they Cingular rebates or Motorola rebates? Makes a big difference. Email amazon or call them to get specifics then save some money. >I am thinking of switching our Tmobile family plan over to Cingular's >family plan.
