Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / February 2008Target's $88 T-Mo2Go promo is back!
Heads up for anyone needing a new T-Mo2Go prepaid account. Target stores are running their $88 special again. For $88 you get both a $100 refill card, and a Nokia 2610 prepaid phone. My brother bought two of them today. The first two stores were sold out. He finally found a Target that had a few left. > Heads up for anyone needing a new T-Mo2Go prepaid account. > > Target stores are running their $88 special again.

Generally, Target stores will give you a rain check if they're out, since no rebate is involved (meaning the actual purchase date isn't critical to the "deal.") They sell out quick because of the eBayers- see how many $100 cards and Nokia 2610s were put up for auction starting yesterday! eBay sellers will generally get a quick $90-95 for the card, and another $20-30 for the phone resulting in a tidy little profit for their Target shopping adventure... I'd buy another myself, but already have three "Gold Accounts" I never use as it is, and way too many low-end phones in my collection acquired from previous prepaid deals "too good to pass up!) (a Nokia 6010, two 6030s, a 3120, and a Samsung A437, in addition to the various "handme downs" from former contracts and extensions!) > I'd buy another myself, but already have three "Gold Accounts" I never > use as it is, and way too many low-end phones in my collection acquired > from previous prepaid deals "too good to pass up!)

It's also a great way to get a battery when compatible with one's current Tmo PP phone. > I'd buy another myself, but already have three "Gold Accounts" I > never use as it is, and way too many low-end phones in my collection > acquired from previous prepaid deals "too good to pass up!)

Most of my older unactivated ones go that way. The various cellphone drives "for the troops" at my kids' schools cleaned out the real relics. I have active (but largely unneccessary) prepaid accounts in most of the current ones that I use for various nefarious purposes, i.e. pass them out to my kids at the mall for "corraling the troops" if we separate, loan them to visiting friends and family when they drop by for a ski trip (although that need has been lessened since AT&T and Verizon started working in my subdivision over the last year or two) or use the prepaid numbers instead of my home phone when selling things in classified ads. >Heads up for anyone needing a new T-Mo2Go prepaid account. > >Target stores are running their $88 special again.

Will Target allow you to return the phone for a refund but keep the refill card? >> Heads up for anyone needing a new T-Mo2Go prepaid account. >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Will Target allow you to return the phone for a refund but keep the > refill card? No. It calls out the refund value. I posted a snip of my receipt here. http://bay01.imagebay.com/bay.php?view=28387_Tmo88Dols.jpg >>> Heads up for anyone needing a new T-Mo2Go prepaid account. >>> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >http://bay01.imagebay.com/bay.php?view=28387_Tmo88Dols.jpg The receipt says the refund value for the phone is $22.37. If you paid $88 initially and returned the phone for a $22.37 refund, the refill card would cost $65.63. That would be a good deal if it was allowed. > Heads up for anyone needing a new T-Mo2Go prepaid account. > > Target stores are running their $88 special again.

T-Mobile could have signed up a lot more prepaid customers this week if Target had had sufficient stock. >> Heads up for anyone needing a new T-Mo2Go prepaid account. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > lot more prepaid customers this week if Target had had sufficient > stock. Not that it's likely to do you any good, the Roseville MN Super Target had a pile of 'em as of 9AM today.

Oh well. I'm not flying up there. I checked out three other Targets since I was in the neighborhood earlier (there are three Target stores within a few miles of each other in one area near San Francisco (one was a Montgomery Ward's, one was an Emporium-Capwell's, one was a Gemco). All were out. One guy said that they had also sold out of the $100 cards for a day but got some more. |
