Verizon Drops Rebates on Pre Plus, Pixi Plus, Amazon Drops Price

Friday, March 5th, 2010 by Christopher Meinck

You can question Verizon’s lackluster launch and marketing campaign, but you cannot fault them when it comes to pricing. They have offered BOGO (buy one, get one free) and now they’ve removed the pesky mail-in rebate. As many of you  know, you can always bypass the mail-in rebate by shopping phones at Best Buy. Starting today, you visit any Verizon Wireless retail location or online and purchase the Palm Pre Plus for $149.99 or the Palm Pixi for $79.99. Additionally, these are still eligible for BOGO.

If you are looking for just one, Amazon has got the Palm Pre Plus for $69.99. UPDATE: The Palm Pre Plus is now an incredibly low $39.99. No mail-in rebate required.  The Palm Pixi Plus will run you a penny. Yes, the Palm Pixi Plus on Verizon Wireless is available for a shiny penny.

Palm Pre Plus Price Drop To $99.99, Palm Pixi Plus Goes Free

Monday, February 22nd, 2010 by Christopher Meinck

Verizon has been very aggressive with their BOGO plans, but that’s not so great for those looking for just one phone (and one 2-year contract). It appears we’ve got our first price drop on the Verizon Palm Pre Plus, available now through Best Buy for $99.99. The Palm Pixi Plus has also seen a major price drop and is available for the price of free.

As with all Best Buy deals, you won’t have to deal with any pesky mail-in rebates. Sound good? We thought so.

Amazon Offering Verizon Palm Pixi Plus for $49.99

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 by Christopher Meinck

Amazon is now offering the Palm Pixi Plus on Verizon Wireless for just $49.99. This is a $50 savings over the current offer on Verizon Wireless. If you don’t mind two contracts, Verizon is still offering their BOGO (buy one, get one free) on webOS devices. However, for those looking to get in the Palm Pixi Plus at a good price, this is the lowest we’ve seen.

As a reminder, the Palm Pixi Plus is essentially the same model that we reviewed, but comes with WiFi.

Palm Pixi Available for $25 at Amazon, No Rebates Required

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 by Christopher Meinck

The new Palm Pixi (see our review) is now available at Amazon for just $24.99. This price requires a new 2-year agreement, but does not require any mail-in rebates. Considering the Palm Pixi as your next phone? This price will likely get most fence sitters off that fence.

Palm Pixi Under $30 at Walmart, Backordered

Thursday, November 12th, 2009 by Christopher Meinck

The Palm Pixi hasn’t been released yet, but we’re already seeing price breaks at places like Walmart. The big box reseller is offering the Palm Pixi for $29.99 at Walmart.com, with no mail-in rebate required. The Pixi is currently back ordered, but by all accounts it looks as if you can purchase it today for $30. Those who can wait a week or so can get a great deal on the Pixi.

As some of our readers have noted in the past, Let’s Talk processes orders for Walmart. If at anytime within the first 181 days you cancel your contract with Sprint, you’ll likely get hit with a pretty big charge.

With the Droid, some folks have had luck price matching Walmart’s online store with Best Buy and Walmart retail locations. If you are headed out Sunday to pick up a Pixi, do yourself a favor and bring a print out Walmart’s pricing.

Save on Bon Jovi’s The Circle At Amazon MP3

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 by Christopher Meinck

If you are a fan of Bon Jovi and haven’t picked up their new album “The Circle”, you might want to fire up the Amazon MP3 Store on your Palm Pre. The new Bon Jovi album is on sale for just $3.99, which is a savings of $6 from iTunes.

Palm Pre Drops to $49 at Furniture Mart

Monday, November 9th, 2009 by Christopher Meinck

One of our readers wandered into a Furniture Mart, which are located in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. If you happen to live near one of those locations, you can score a Palm Pre for a rock bottom price of $49 out the door. That’s by far the lowest price we’ve seen for the Pre and there is no mail-in rebate required.

Considering this is a B&M location, you can likely use this ad to price match at Best Buy in or around Nebraska.

Palm Pre Available for $79.99, No Rebate Required

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 by Christopher Meinck

Just a few days ago, we noted how Amazon was selling the Palm Pre for $99.99. That’s a savings of $50 from Sprint, Best and The Shack. A company called CellularDeals has dropped the priced even lower, offering the Palm Pre for $79.99. We have no experience with this company, but the price does not require any sort of mail-in rebates, so it appears to be a good deal for those looking to grab the Palm Pre at a great price.

palm-pre-sale-79

With the price of the Palm Pre dropping below the $99.99 (after mail-in rebates) price associated with the upcoming Palm Pixi, how will that affect sales of both devices. Is the candy bar form factor enough to sway customers away from the better equipped Palm Pre? If you were given the choice today, what device would you select? The Palm Pre at $79 or the Palm Pixi for $99? Let us know in the comments.

Palm Pre $99.99 at Amazon

Monday, October 26th, 2009 by Christopher Meinck

Amazon is once again offering the Palm Pre for just $99.99, without any sort of rebate. In addition, customers who purchase the Palm Pre will receive $5 in MP3 downloads. Amazon is also offering free 2-day shipping. This is the best price we’ve seen for a Palm Pre and there is no mail-in rebate. Seems like a great deal to us. Still on the fence or will you wait for the $99.99 Palm Pixi? By the way, we’re hearing that you can bypass those pesky mail-in rebates by picking up the Pixi at Best Buy or The Shack. Check your local stores to confirm.

Palm Pre for $79.99 at Walmart

Saturday, September 26th, 2009 by Christopher Meinck

Just a few days ago, we saw the Palm Pre hit Amazon for $100. Those willing to go through the rebate process can get the Palm Pre for just $79.99 from Walmart with a 2-year agreement. The $100 mail-in rebate goes through Let’s Talk, who handles wireless sales for Walmart.

Between the $99.99 rebate-free Amazon offer and the $79.99 Walmart offer there are plenty of options to get a low price on a new Palm Pre. No word on whether this offer is available at retail locations.
