BlackBerry Bold Free At Wal-Mart After Mail-In Rebate

November 4, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 5 Comments

After writing that long a$$ post earlier today about how Verizon would be smart to sell the BlackBerry Storm cheaper than the BlackBerry Bold, this little tidbit showed up in my inbox.

Wal-Mart is offering the AT&T BlackBerry Bold for $199.99 with a $199.99 mail-in rebate.  They are offering free shipping and the device is in stock.

I’ve got to admit, that ain’t too bad.

    Well, that’s more like it w/ regard to pricing.

    No doubt ATT wants to sell the Bold at a Premium to their business clients, while Walmart sells to the general consumer.

    However, just as a general comment, I hate these rebate schemes. They are a hassle to execute, and of course, you have to wait for your money. That’s of course, also why the stores prefer rebates.

    I know it won’t happen, but I wish the stores would just sell for the discounted price.

    I bought the Bold on Monday night and paid the upgrade price ($400 with a $100 rebate). I just called AT&T to complain that Wal-Mart is offering the Bold for $150 less for upgrade price. THE REP GAVE ME A $150 CREDIT ON MY PLAN!! 🙂 I didn’t even have to yell or get mad!!! Well done, AT&T!!

    Call into the main number and hit the option for changing your plan/service.

    You can’t beat free. The reason retailers offer mail-in rebates is because they profit off of every dumbass (or someone who would’ve purchased it w/o rebate) that doesn’t turn it in and jump through all the hoops. For those of us saying “Ooo, free phone!” — it’s only free if we want our money back.
