No $70 Rebate at VERIZON. Only at Radio Shack.

Verizon is not giving a $70 rebate.

Radio Shack made a deal with Motorola to release the V710 earlier than Verizon and get the $70 rebate.

That is why RS has the rebate.

No that is completely false. I got it from Verizon 2 hours ago and I clearly got the mail in rebate form so I have no idea what your talking about.

CORRECTION - you get the $70 @ VZW w/new contract. I just bought one at full retail ($419.00) - no rebate for me. Although, I did get one at RS when I bought my first one.

I bought my phone yesterday at a Verizon Store.

Signed up for a 2 year contract.

NO REBATE.

I have also called 4 stores and spoken to them.

NO REBATE.

Has anyone here actually seen the rebate FORM from VERIZON or can VERIFY they received the $70 rebate.

I pray I am wrong, so I can get the rebate.

I have it right in front of me. It is a $70 mail in rebate from Verizon.

Are you an existing customer? I was eligible for a 2 year contract price of $319 (like a new customer), but not for the additional $100 off for ne2 (new every two). When I asked the rep about the rebate, she said there was none. I wound up ordering online for $319 (plus tax about $347). But now Im not so sure I can get the rebate. What did they tell you about the rebate?

Jreisner -

You are correct. There is no $70 rebate at VERIZON.

For an existing customer of 2 years with a 2 year new contract, they credit you $100.

This is really odd. I don't know why some people got the rebate and others didn't.

Thanks for all the replies.

You all confirmed to me that my local VERIZON store is as bad as I thought.

I argued with them over the $70 rebate for an hour and they convinced me there was not one.

After the proof posted here, I called them and they stilll said no rebate.

Then I got mad and was put on hold.

Then they picked up and told me that there is a $70 rebate and to come back into the store.

Shall I scan in my rebate slip that I got at Verizon this morning, or will my word suffice?

The $70 rebate is NOT a Radio Shack exclusive as they would have you believe. They fed me that bullcrap line when I was trying to get them to honor my New Every 2 credit. They kept yammering about how instead of the $100 off, I'd get $70 off via the mail-in. Ugh. Dumb farks wouldn't listen when I told them it was NOT an exclusive rebate, and I DO get $100 off the top (NE2) no matter what.

In fact, even the Verizon in-store advertising for the phone has the 2-Year Agreement price of $249.99* (* After Mail-In Rebate).

Whoever says the $70 doesn't apply to Verizon customers is dead wrong.

My phone purchase at Verizon:

$319 (2-Year Agre...
