Best Buy has the Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+Note8 for up to $400 off. Also has Google Pixel 2 XL for $350 off. I believe all Best Buy discounts are up front, (no monthly credits)

Verizon: Galaxy S9/S9+ $250 off for upgrades, $350 off for new lines or accounts
Google Pixel 2 XL $350 off for new lines/accounts

AT&T : Galaxy S9/S9+ $200 off

Sprint: Galaxy S9/S9+ $250 off
Note8 $400 off

can i pay this off on day 2 or am i forced to stay 24 months with verizon?
You can pay off any time. No need to stay for 24 months. You will still get for discounted price.

farking bill credits! Give me an actual discount.
I went to the end of the check out. No bill credits involved. Reduced monthly payments. No need to keep the installment active until 24 months.

Says right in the fine print "250.00 down payment". So no monthly billing credit.

ok, so this is basically a $250 credit...

..still, why are they only offering $250 now when they were offering $300 2-3 weeks ago for 2 weeks?

prices should be constantly sloping down, not up/down/left/right

Note 8 Sprint deal is really the only thing worthy here. At $400 off that's a nice deal.

Has anyone successfully completed a payoff of the phone and contract cancel?
Will we be able to keep the phone at $400 off if we pay the phone off in full then cancel the contract?

Need more info on this one.

It is a discount. You just have to sign up for the payment plan (and can pay it back the next day).

I assume the note 8 is locked to Sprint. Assuming ability to unlock, could you use it on other carriers? Thank you.

This is precisely why I don't know when to upgrade. Last time I bought was in September ('16) and I basically paid full price, because that was the "best deal."

heh, full price can never be the best deal

it just doesnt make sense why these mfg say "ok 1 month at retail" "month 1-2, throw in some memory or something, but keep price same" and then again, depending on sales progressively decline each month by a certain %

random drops makes people just "wait" for the next one...which maybe is their plan all along - wait for people to pay a new higher price for the "next unit"

im debating whether to just bite the bullet and pay this price - $250 or not. my s6 is seriously unable to survive a 3 hr bus ride commute today (yeah 3 hrs b/c of flooding) and sitting there the last 45 minutes with nothing to do but stare out or sleep was probably worth $10 of my time lost alone.

What are you talking about? I'm seeing the Verizon S9 as $18.41 per month for 24 months, aka $441.84.

and just to further justify why the S9 should be $500 - samsung just confirmed poor sales and there is news coming out about the s10 being 5G and also news about foldable technology

im not even going to want an S9 by december, this is really their last chance to get rid of them before the price hits the shitter. i'd wait if it werent for the fact that my s6 battery life is really becoming ridiculous and the whole device itself is slowing down to a crawl (and if im going to do a hard reset and spend time reconfiguring, i want to at least be doing it on a new phone)

Weird. 35.41 * 24 = 849.84 at regular price, but says "Total Price $949.84."

The payment after discount is 20.82 * 24 = 499.68. "Total Sale Price $599.84"

Are they really that bad at math? Or is it me?
The tax will be based on the original price and the activation fee is $40.
