This just popped up on my BCE this AM. Curious if this is only for service or anything on their site? If so, it would be a good way to get a free~ish Voip phone.

Enjoy!

Your enrollment of an eligible American Express Card for this offer extends only to that Card. Offer valid online only at US website ooma.com/promo/amex. Not valid on purchases shipped outside of the US. See merchant website for shipping policy. Some merchants may not ship to all areas. Offer is non-transferable. Valid only on purchases made in US dollars. Limit of 1 statement credit per Card Member. You may not receive the statement credit if we receive inaccurate information or are otherwise unable to identify your purchase as qualifying for the offer. For example, you may not receive the statement credit if (a) the merchant uses a third-party to sell their products or services; or (b) the merchant uses a third-party to process or submit your transaction to us (e.g., using mobile or wireless card readers); or (c) you choose to make a purchase using a third-party payment account or make a purchase using a mobile or digital wallet. Purchases may fall outside of the offer period in some cases due to a delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date you made the transaction (for example, the purchase date for online orders may be the shipping date). Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 10/31/2023, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. Note that American Express may not receive information about your qualifying purchase from merchant until all items/services from your qualifying purchase have been shipped/provided by merchant.

If American Express does not receive information that identifies your purchase as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the statement credit. Limit 1 enrolled Card per American Express Card online account. The enrolled Card account must be active, not past due, canceled, or have a returned payment outstanding to receive the statement credit. Any benefit earned from this offer is in addition to the rewards (i.e. Membership Rewards or cash back) earned as part of your existing Card benefits, but your ability to earn spend-based rewards for the purchase will be based on the amount after any statement credit or other discount is applied. Amex Offers are available for varying and limited periods of time and are dynamic and personalized. If you navigate away from the Amex Offers page, you may see different offers when you return. For questions regarding your Card Account, please call the number on the back of your Card. By adding an offer to a Card, you agree that American Express may send you communications about the offer.

Shoot, I was just about to post this 5 minutes ago. Beat me to it :-)

It's a nice deal, at least if it covers the equipment charge. Thanks OP

From what I can tell, the cheapest residential item is $99 on their site? The TOC specifically calls out residential, and all I could see was the $99 one. Or am I missing something?

Yeah it's $99 on the site, but $79 on bestbuy.com. I am gonna wait for their sales before I jump into another ooma. I've seen them sell the telo for as low as $69 before so it would be nice to get that free after the Amex offer. Most likely residential only, business is an entirely different division.

I wonder if this applies if you already have an Ooma account and charge your monthly bill to your Amex card? Would I get the credit as soon as my monthly bills accumulate over $75?

Might only be valid for residential equipment purchases at ooma.com/promo/amex according to their terms.

Won't know for sure until someone tries to pay their monthly dues or signs up for a yearly premiere sub.

Appears to only be good on items on this site ooma.com/promo/Amex

Doesn't seem to have their basic residential equipment, only a LTE device with monthly fee and the $130 wireless modem with Bluetooth adapter. Hopefully I'm wrong as I'd love to get their $99 IP residential equipment and just have the local taxes and fees.

I just purchased the Ooma Telo LTE Internet Phone for $79.99 (+tax) and received the 'Amex offer was used' email.

edit: looks like this model has a $20/mo service fee....

Are you forced to sign up for the lte service or could you use it for basic IP service?

I'm not sure, when I receive it I will try to activate it on the basic IP instead of LTE

Yeah, it's interesting that they gave that specific link and that there is only specific equipment on that link vs. the other stuff they sell in their general website.

Normally, Amex only cares who the merchant is and a normal charge from Ooma should trigger the offer. I'm wondering, if they have gone through all the extra trouble to set up a separate store within Ooma that will trigger the Amex offer vs. just buying from Ooma, having the charge show up on your account as Ooma, and then the offer not triggering because you did not purchase from the Ooma Amex store??

It's also interesting HOW expensive their equipment continues to be. The Ooma Telo used to charge in the $60-75 range. You could buy a separate wireless adapter for $25 (this is the set up I have had for years). Now they want $130 for their Ooma Telo Wireless/Bluetooth compatible device. IMO, this equipment should be selling for $50 tops and they would still be making a profit...but they have to overprice their hardware.

Now, a little rant...my Telo device sucks - I think I'm on the 2nd or 3rd device...as they just seem to crap out after a few years. My current telo is blinking red and in need of a reboot. When I check the Ooma site, it even tells me my device is offline - BUT, my phone was blinking, indicating I had a call recording. I went to Ooma's website, listened to the recording, and now my phone is no longer blinking, indicating that there are no waiting recordings to be listened to. Yet, my device is still blinking red and I have no dial-tone. So, one hand, signal is still getting through but the device does not have dial tone - I have a feeling my Ooma Telo is getting ready to crap out again. It seems to have this issue over the past few months - I'll reboot it and it will work fine for a week or two and then require another reboot.

I was hoping to buy another Ooma Telo from their site with this offer but I don't see any for sale, other than the overpriced $130 model.

Based upon the quality of their Ooma Telo device...I would NOT invest in any of Ooma's security devices. In 2-3 years, the equipment would probably stop working. I'm sure Ooma has Built-in obsolescence designed into their products as the Hardware sales are what keep them going. No one can convince me otherwise!

Where in the TOC that you posted does it say anything about residential or business?
