Discount expires 8/16 but buydig had the same deal the past week advertised as expiring 8/11 so they just renewed the same deal.

This is the best price on the Duo (2020) to date, unless you count the Best Buy $375 deal last week that was cancelled for most.

Locked, but many reports on reddit about going through some hoops to get it unlocked by Microsoft (not AT&T).

Buydig offers 45 day returns, i dunno about open boxes and return shipping fee.

Personally I'm guessing this will go $350 by end of month, smells like Microsoft is holding price drops back, but thats just speculating.

If Duo 2 is coming out the announcement should be in the next 4 weeks based on Duo 1 announcement last year, so MS is running out of time to clear store inventories, but they dont want to drop duo 1 price too low with the criticisms duo 1 got the past year.

I doubt this will drop below $300 before selling out across all stores but I think it can get there by end of September.

Edit:
Just to clarify, locked to AT&T, but this deal and price is for device only, no contract or plan required, which is how most of the recent SD threads on the Surface Duo have been. I took it all the way to the "pay now" page to confirm.

If you think this is a repost, leave the link and I'll mod report it myself, but I turned off all my adblockers and I checked using my phone and computer, chrome and brave browser, classic and redesign views, even looked in Featured Deals, I couldn't see the ad you were seeing.

Anyway, whatever it's become (affiliates and ads, mobile redesigns, etc.), SD is a forum first, and I couldn't find a thread on this store and price, and I'm curious about the price where SD is interested in the Duo again because I simply don't know.

Personally, I won't get interested until it's at $300 or less (128gb), but $410 beginning of July (woot) and $400 at end of July (dailysteals) got people hot and bothered (both ATT locked), and Buydig has had $389 price for at least a week now and nary a peep I could find. Maybe there is an obvious ad somewhere that is keeping people from posting a discussion thread, but that doesn't mean it can't be discussed.

Diamond hands! Wait for the price to drop again

I thought if it's paid off and in good statues it could be immediately unlocked by AT&T. At work we recently switched from AT&T and the vast majority were unlocked for us since they were paid off

Got the 256 GB for $439 after some negotiations. Submitted the request to Microsoft last week for the unlock code. Came in yesterday, unlocked without any issues.

I tried to cancel the order but was too late. They responded that if I was willing to keep the order they would refund $30. We settled at $40.

My guess is that MS is dictating list prices across the different stores but that doesnt prevent stores from doing a per customer adjustment. The stores need to clear inventories ahead of any Duo 2 announcement but MS doesnt want to weaken the Duo brand if they can push it.

Doesnt hurt to ask especially with any clearance deals but keep cool with whoever you talk to.

Which store btw?

MS held the unlock codes for these att locked units that never went to att's inventory, so att did not have the codes to unlock them, which they would have done for people who bought these off contract
