Confirmed: 20% off kicked in :)


Spoke with someone from Escalations Department today, she had no idea about any 18-20% discount that they can offer. She did offer a one time $100 credit though.

I have an old free and clear plan with 5 phones. I need at least 3 smart phones. If I can get 20% off for the next 24 months that would help bring my new plan to an affordable monthly payment.

What did you tell/ask them?

I just called and got 20% discount in less than 5 min. Lady was really nice on the phone and said she just had to give good argument to manger for them to agree to 20%. (I have 5 lines and would cancel my service for Verizon if they took away discount). Hope this helps

Looks like Sprint is getting bought out...

Wonder how this will affect customers...

Does anyone know if buying a phone through Amazon is risking me losing my Sprint discount?  Does anyone have experience upgrading with them?

I just upgraded through Amazon, and shortly after I needed to call Sprint because my plan was changed, it was no big deal changing it back.
My mistake was I asked if the discount was still applied, it turns out it was. He then asked me if I work for Pepsi, under pressure I simply said yes.  Now I keep on getting these text to verify my eligibility for the discount if I would like to keep it. I am assuming it was my conversation with the rep that brought my eligibility of the discount to his attention.

Not necessarily. They've started cracking down slowly slowly.

I hope that's the case so I do not need to feel guilty on ruining it for the other 4 people on the plan.
In the meantime my discount is still active, after three texts over 2 weeks, my last text says "The discount verification request we sent you is about to expire. Please visit Sprint.com/Verify to submit" my bill closes in 4 days I am hoping for the best.

Mine as well. Keep waiting every month.  I feel like it's coming sooner then later.

I never had any discount on my phone (SERO). From reading this thread I was inspired to check if my firm has a legit discount with Sprint and was pleasantly surprised to see that they have a 7% discount.

Any idea if getting this discount will mess up my SERO plan? I remember hearing frm them once that they don't give employee discounts on SERO.

AAA has a code for %10 off, probably for new accounts only, but you might be able to use it anyways to reverify

I just spoke with a CSR from Sprint. It seems as the new policy is anytime a line gets upgraded they ask for verification for the discount.

Can anyone confirm if they lost the discount recently after upgrading a line? I know I upgraded in August  and lost the discount in September.
.

Is this the case after all?
