Last year this was very popular deal as it allowed stacking with all other BB Mobile offers. Best part is that it doesnt have any exclusions so if iPhone 6 is launched you still can upgrade first day and get your 50$ giftcard back from Bestbuy.

This was a hit deal last year.

"Text me monthly reminders for this offer
Message and Data Rates May Apply. Get max. 1 message/month."

It seems that you have to check this box to sign up for the offer.. Can we stop the texts any time and be still signed up for the offer? Or does the offer require you to get these monthly reminders?

Quote from fyu : same question.

You don't have to check EITHER box to sign up for the offer. The first box is about signing up for the text and the second box is agreeing to the text. You can hit submit without checking any box.

oh... for some reason, i thought that second box had to be checked, and it wasn't getting enabled without checking the first box...!!!

thanks for the replies... you both... this should be added to the wiki...

OP as well... this is a great deal... will definitely be upgrading sometime this year when the next iteration of phones come up, so always nice to save 50 bucks on it...

I put the info in the Wiki, but we all know people will not read it and the questions will be asked over and over again.

Also, like last year, I'm willing to bet that this post will fly under the radar until the registration window is over. Then you'll see all the "...how did I miss this..." and "...is there any way to sign up now..." posts for the rest of the year.

Glad I set a deal alert. I was literally about to walk out the door to go upgrade my phone. Registered and will wait until next week to upgrade. Thanks OP!

"To receive your gift card, simply purchase a new mobile phone with a 2-year agreement for your registered phone number between February 10, 2013 and December 31, 2013. "

Does that mean that we cannot buy a new phone with new account?

What if I purchased a phone yesterday and won't get it until next week (cause I got it shipped), and didn't activate it yet. Would still be eligible for this offer? It seems like I would, but I just wanted to be sure. Anyone know from past experience?

They price match amazon?

While I was trying to upgrade my iPhone4S to Samsung Galaxy Note II, I found this on Bestbuy. I think it's no harm registering your number to received a $50 GC when you buy a new phone with a contract later this year.
