Was at Staples the other day shopping for a label maker. I've been in the market to purchase a pair of the Motorola v60g phones for hookup with Cingular. Anyhow, while at Staples, they are having a big promotion for exactly what I wanted, v60g with Cingular service. The phone had a price of 289.99 attached to it, however, there is a 140.00 MIR from Staples on the phone, and also either a 120.00 or 80.00 MIR from Cingular, depending on whether you take a 2 year or 1 year contract. On top of that, I used a 30 off of 150 coupon that I printed out, which can be found in the normal places. So to recap it's:
289.99
-140.00 (Staples Rebate)
-120.00 (Cingular 2 year Contract Rebate)
- 30.00 (Staples 30 off 150 Coupon)
----------
- 0.01 (They pay you a penny after all is said and done! )
You will have to wait for Cingular to send you the contracts for the plans you sign up for, put your signature on the contracts, and mail the contracts back to Cingular. About a month after that you should be looking at your rebate check. The one from Staples, requires a copy of your first month's bill with Cingular, and then it takes whatever time it usually takes Staples to send out their checks. (In my experience, about 2 months with Staples)
I signed up for a 2 year contract that gave me 350 minutes peak time usage, 1000 minutes nights and weekend usage for 29.99 a month. Then I added a second phone to the plan for my girlfriend, and we share the plan minutes for an additional 16.99 a month. Comes out to 46.98 a month for both cell phones. Not too shabby in the long run.
I did this deal at the Staples on Park and 55th in New York City. Hope this helps someone out there.
