As the title implies, I need some info on the RadioShack preorders.
I've called 3 local RS near me, neither of them had any info on the HTC One. OFC tried to get me to preorder the Crapsung S4 (no hate, just play on words ). I told each store the same thing; preorders started on the 5th, I can call corporate now and preorder (which I can). The thing is, none of the stores "have been given any communications about the HTC One or its preorders". I do not want to order it via corporate for 2 reasons. #1 I want the $50 Google Play credit *which most of that i use to donate to developers like Chad.Goodman and other hard-working individuals. And reason #2, I want it on the 19th, I don't want to wait a day or 2 or 3 before I can get it. #2 might sound silly, but it is my money and my device, so please do not trash-talk me about being impatient.
Does anyone have any insight in receiving the $50 credit and/or preordering?
Thanks guys.
*silently kicks rocks*
Bump... Anyone?
Hey guys,
I just figured out how to get the HTC One for $29 after rebates (visa gift cards), and ordered the phone. This offer is only good this weekend so I thought I would share
First go to http://www.wirelessmarketplus.com and order the phone for $149. That comes with an offer to get a $20 Visa Gift Card After you activate.
After that, go to http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/100promo/?q=start and use promo code HTC100. this site asks you to trade in your old "smart" phone for $100+ in Visa Gift cards. I am trading in either my HTC Touch Pro 2 or a Motorola Droid 1 that I had laying around (both of them qualified for the $100 back)
So there you have it. after all is said and done, it's $29. hope someone else gets use out of this.

After all is said and done I'm getting mine for free. (number port= -$100 + trade in for $100)
Thanks though.
Wirefly and Wirelessmarketplus are owned by the same company, so it makes since they would both have the same deals.
wirefly still has it for 120 with 20 dollar gift card you just need the right link
I did the newegg 129.99 with $20 gift card deal. Is the gift card shipped with the phone?

quick question, i have an old BlackBerry curve that qualifies but in order to get the $100 do you have to have a phone that was recently active? This blackberry hasen't been active in almost 2 years (ive been using a GS2 but want to keep it as a backup device). Anyone know if this will work?
Thanks

I don't think it has to be active. the HTC questionnaire said nothing about that, only the condition (no water damage, does it turn on, screen ok). The Touch Pro 2 I am turning in hasn't been active in several years.
ok great, yea its in perfect condition so i might as well go ahead. Im grabbing my H1 tmrw so I might as well give it a shot. The stupid blackberry has just been collecting dust anyway haha

Read the terms and conditions carefully. Somewhere in the fine print was a clause that said it had to be the phone active on the account prior to the upgrade. Might be worth activating the old phone for a week or so, just to be sure.
I pulled my wife's old LG Optimus V out of the drawer, took it to the Sprint store and activated it in place of my Shift. Then sold my Shift on Swappa, bought the One, and sent the Optimus to HTC for the $100. Came out ahead $75 and have a shiny new One.

Just a heads up for those who were looking into the trade up offer you have to register on the HTC website and they will send you a specific promo code not sure if just HTC100 works or not... and as for terms and conditions i thought it said you had to send in a previous HTC smartphone (I'm sending in my Evo 3D) I think it was like a customer loyalty promo thing...
but i could be totally wrong if so please correct me I'd hate to be tellin' people the wrong stuff...
ps. you guys S**K, , but really super dissapointed... I pre-ordered mine with sprint silly:dumb idea i know but they gave me an early upgrade) So i missed all the good deals you guys are gettin' now... damn I wish i had waited, the only thing that could make this phone any better would have been getting one free, I mean a phone this amazing for $100 is great but free, man thats sweet!!! good for you guys though:good:

Haha, should've had Sprint push the upgrade, then went online for the good deals.
The HTC100 promo is only good this weekend and only using that link. The pre register is something else (though I did that too). Also I don't see how the phone would have to be active if the site lets me select the Verizon Motorola droid 1 as a valid option.
From the terms of use
7.2 Program Requirements. In order to participate in the HTC One® Weekend Exclusive Promotion you must have an eligible used smartphone device as defined by the on-line Tool. You can identify if the used device is eligible by utilizing the drop down menus to pick the make, model, and carrier for the used smartphone device. If you cannot find the make or model and believe this is in error, you can contact the program administrator at Clover Wireless. The Program is only valid within the United States. You must be a minimum of 18 years of age to participate. The Program is not valid on stolen property. There is a maximum of one (1) trade-in utilizing HTC One® Weekend Exclusive Promotion per individual customer. A valid proof of purchase is a) an original invoice with the IMEI number printed on it or b) a copy of the UPC code with the IMEI code printed on it. A copy of a UPC code is only permitted once as a valid Proof of Purchases. Clover Wireless has the right to reject any trade-ins for promotional trade-in submissions where 1) the used device is submitted by anyone other than the user of the used device and 2) when the used device was not active at the time of the new device purchase and 3) the trade-in voucher was not agreed to by you and 4) there is an invalid proof of purchase or 5) we believe there to be fraudulent intentions. Without a valid Proof of Purchase, you will not be paid the promotional trade-up amount.
It doesn't say had to be active
I just bought another one for my wife's line from Wirefly but they are sold out. Still $149.99 - $100 - $20 = 29.99 is pretty great! Silver only though.
Awesome deal, but not yet complete
HTC One (Black) purchased through Wirefly F&F for $119 today. I followed the aforementioned steps and got the $100 trade-in showing. If I select the "Continue" button (given the following verbiage: "You can click Continue if you've purchased your new HTC One phone and are ready to complete your Trade Up now."), the next screen requires the ESN from my new phone. Obviously I would need the phone in hand to enter that information, so it seems the best I can do is wait for the shipment to arrive from Wirefly.
But that is the rub. I can't complete the on-line trade in process by 5/5 because it's unlikely I will physically have the phone by then. Per the trade-up site, "Complete the online trade in process, by 5/5/13 (no later than 11:59PM EST)". This has me worried I will be denied.
What should I do?
Thanks!

The rep I talked to at wirefly told me the delay in shipping would not affect any promotions. I took that to mean HTC will change the dates like they did for the original promotion because the phones were delayed.

I had did the pre-register like quite a few here did and got a new email from htc on May 1 saying buy new One by May 19 send in old by June 19
http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/ and from that link you get this link http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/?q=terms_of_use and in section 8 ( nice pun in there ) you get To receive the $100 trade in value (or actual device trade in value, whichever is greater) in exchange for the Device you trade in, you must register valid email address on or before April 4, 2013 at HTC OneTM Upgrade site, you must purchase and activate a new HTC One by May 19, 2013 and mail in your used Device with a valid Proof of Purchase of your HTC One (copy of UPC or invoice/receipt showing the IMEI) post marked by June 19, 2013.
Looks like the phones are about to start shipping. I had a live chat with support and they were able to give me the ESN number of my new HTC One, so I can finish the paperwork to get my $100

Talk to the person that you bought it from. I believe the code will go to them.
I bought mine from best buy on Saturday and they sent my code to my reward zone email

unless he explicitly stated that the codes were included you're outta' luck
he'll likely keep (or more likely resell) the $25 credits
if you bought the item from BestBuy (online) you'll get the code once you pickup the item -- if you order it instore you'll get the code on your receipt
no one knows what's going on with Amazon yet but their website claims they'll honor Netflix code promo as long as the order was placed before 5pm on either the 25th or 24th (I don't remember exactly)

Hi Guys,
I have ordered two products from gearbest.com. After placing the order "W1508272112112192", I got mail asking me to provide my ID as well as My credit card photo to verify the transaction. I provided them both.
They reviewed it and said that "We are sorry that we cannot accept this unverified transaction via credit card. If you like the items, please place a new order and pay for the order via western union. Then we will not ask you for these pictures." and cancelled my order with refund.
Write now I am waiting for the refund of USD 100.71.
Please tell me that is my money coming back or there is some fraud? What should be the next step, I will do to save my money?
Please reply me fast, I will be very thankful to you guys!
Also I want to purchase a cheap and best android TV box with a gamepad for my son. From where I can buy that?
Sounds like a scam if they are wanting you to use Western Union as opposed to a credit card. You have less recourse to take action with Western Union versus the credit card, which is likely why they wanted you to go that route. I'd call your bank ASAP and let them know what's going on and try to recoup your money. I'd also be on the lookout for fraudulent charges on your credit card.
Gearbest is so shady and I will never use them again, I'd recommend staying far away.
I ordered a Chuwi Vi10 64GB w/ keyboard case on 9/11/15; I had to do the "sketchy" ID verification also, but they took my order and my money.
I received a broken keyboard on 10/2/15 , and over 30 days later, still no tablet.
Now the replacement keyboard is out of stock.
They suggest I find an alternative keyboard to replace it (for a custom keyboard/case made for the tablet, WTF!).
I've re-ordered the tablet & keyboard from banggood.com, got my fingers crossed.
P.S. Techtablets has other user reviews for Gearbest, they pretty much suck!!!
gearbest made me wait over 2 weeks to send item and they still havent sent it to me so there making me wait 12 business days to get refund i will never buy from them again
Personally I do not do business with ANYONE who will not take a CC and asks for something like Western Union.
Honestly, I prefer PayPal for everything but if for some reason they don't do paypal they had better do a Major CC, it's about buyer protection.
I had the same issue when trying to order the GPD XD the other month. In the end I told them to send a refund and ignored their following replies. In the end it arrived luckily.
Never before have I been asked to provide such ID online nor will I ever.
I pre ordered the XL in the Google store. Read an article that said Google would be giving $100 credits for pre ordering. I didn't see any mention of a credit when I was ordering though. Is this something that's gonna show up after it ships or did I misread the article?

You will probably get code after trade in period is over
I believe it says the usual 6-8 weeks. The email associated with your order needs to be tied to Google Pay to get the credit.
Dose the $100 only for Trade in or all pre-order?

Yeah, it's the same as all their deals. Just so you don't return the phone after you get the promo. The site says, "Customers will receive an email notifying them Promotional Balance is added to their account 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion (October 26, 2019 at 11:59pm PT) ... Promotional balance expires on 01/31/20 11:59pm PT."
I cancelled the Google Store pre-order and got it from Amazon. $100 at Amazon is more useful than at the Google Store in my opinion.
If you have Fi and get it on Fi they just pull it out of your bill until it's consumed; works for me.
The google credit is mentioned in the fine print, I had to scroll to the very bottom. I am hesitant to order from Verizon since they have a history of locking the bootloader, currently they have $450 credit for trading in a phone like the Pixel.
Verizon=just say no. Not ever. Uh-uh. Not going to happen. Ever. Example: Saving 400 on Verizon equals walking through 500 miles of dog feces barefoot before you get the opportunity to lick a goats sphincter. Yeah, you could do that because your tough and all that and you end up 400 dollars richer but do you really need to save 400 dollars that much?

Don't know how it works if you finance but if you pay cash they are SIM unlocked immediately, I took one over to Tmo simply by sticking my SIM in before I even booted it up for the first time. The bootloader can also be unlocked but again I'm referring to a cash buy, it may be different if you finance.

Thanks for replying back.
I think you're right, financing=SIM-Locked, Cash=Unlocked!
I didn't say that, I said I didn't know what the situation was with financed devices. Fi is super straight up when you call them, if I was interested in picking one up via financing there I would give them a quick shout and see what they say.
I just read that you can order through the Goog store, get their 100 credit but select via Fi on checkout and then turn around and get their 100 credit also, seems like one is slipping through a crack that may be closing at any time.

No Fi phones are NOT sim locked financed.
A nice perk if you have a google One paid account. I got $99.90 in credit on Google (10%) as a One customer and will also get the $100 credit. I'll wait and get the pixel buds for free when they come out in the spring if my credit does not expire before then. I did not notice an expiration date but maybe I missed it.

Unfortunately the credit would expire prior to the buds being out, unless maybe they allow pre-orders very early in the year, or they release them earlier than 'spring'.
The Google One credit is good for 365 days, however the $100 promotional credit is only good until 01/31/20 11:59pm PT

My store credit dropped just before black Friday week last year. That plus $50 off the Nest home hub, that sucker was mine for $50. This year it's $100, so I'm pretty sure the Nest hello will be mine, that or an outdoor camera for really cheap. Crossing fingers it comes before then!
