Bought the Galaxy S4 at Full Price, But Not Eligible for the $50.00 Rebate Card. Sound Fair?

Recently bought the Galaxy S4 for the full retail price and afterward come to find out the rebate offer of $50.00 is only good for subsidized phone purchases. How is this fair when I paid full freight? The offer should have been for either type purchase.
What gives, Verizon? Only care about getting those 2 year contracts extended???

I just looked, the rebate is clearly posted for 2 yr contracts only.
If you switch the screen to Month to Month the rebate is gone.
But even on the two year contract screen this is shown.
Full Retail Price $649.99
2-Year Contract  $249.99
Online Discount -$50.00
PRICE with 2-Year contract  $199.99
You are not going to be able to keep your unlimited data (if that is why you purchased at full price) if you receive any discount.

  • Discount pricing, but not eligible for an upgrade?

    My dads phone doesnt have an upgrade untill 4/24/12, but yet it says hes eligible for a discount and when I call up they always say his line is eligible for an upgrade. What is this discount pricing and how does it work if he still doesnt have an upgrade for another half a year.

    Alright, couple more questions, is there any benefit from using his NE2 upgrade in april 2012 over the discount annual upgrade? And also, could I steal his discount upgrade and use it for myself? I know alot of people who steal upgrades im just not sure they are the annual ones
    The NE2 discount is an additional $30,$50, or $100 discount (the amount depends on your calling plan - you'll have to call Verizon to get this information) So if you wait until April 2012, your dad's line will have that additional discount to put towards a new phone.
    You can't "steal" upgrades. All you really do is purchase the phone on the eligible line, and activate it on another one.
    You can use his annual upgrade now if you want, just remember it will be the 2 year contract pricing + an additional $20 fee for upgrading early. Also remember that doing so will void any and all NE2 discount he may have.
    If you use his upgrade now, make sure you activate the phone on HIS line first (since you will purchase it on his line, his contract is extended another 2 years, and you must accept the terms of service by activating it on his line) and then you can activate it on yours. This process goes for using anyone else's upgrade other than your own.

  • Currently still in college, but "not eligible for student premium"

    I am currently still in college but spotify has changed my student premium price back to the regular price of 9.99, is there any way to amend this problem?

    Hey there , welcome to the community!
    I apologize for the late reply! Per the terms and conditions of the student promotion, your eligibility needs to be re-verified every 12 months, which can be tricky because your account cannot have an active premium subscription when applying the discount. Since you currently have Spotify Premium, you need to cancel it here and wait for your account to revert back to'Spotify Free' before re-applying the discount, which is done through the student page.

    Hi I'm trying to buy the £26 a month adobe subscription but when I enter my serial number it says I'm not eligible for this offer. I purchased CS4 so thought that would qualify for eligibility.
    Does anyone have an idea why the product I purchased (CS4) is not eligible?

    Is your CS4 serial number registered to same adobe id with which you are trying to place the order?

  • Hi my iPhone is a 3GS and I've tried now to update it for 4.3.5 to 5.0.1 but when its done downloading it comes up with your iPhone is not eligible for this build (i think this is the error message) i need help

    plz help me guys

    Most often due two one of the following.
    1 Install current version of iTunes, older Macintosh Systems will not support current version of iTunes, make sure you have current version of iTunes.
    Or
    2 Your computer Hosts file is blocking Apple from communicating with iTunes. To determine this, search Hosts on computer, then open Hosts file with a word processor. If the Hosts file contains this, gs.apple.com it is blocking Apple. This line with its number must be inactivated (removing it works). A stock Hosts file does not contain this or block Apple.
    Here is Apple information on this problem:
    "This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw."

    Any solution

    HI,
    No  SOLUTION FROM HERE, but I have an unresolved issue with similar overtones.
    As a new member, having had a birthday gift from a family member in another country, I am dismayed to find out that there is an unresolved business logic issue, which will allow me to own a MacBook Air, but because I live in a different country to the place of purchase there is a big No No. Additionally, my pension provideds me with a credit card from that first origin, but I am forbidden from buying any software elswhere? Apple seem reluctant to discuss this with me, but  some solutions have been offered to get me the free downloads?
    Does this come under 'unfit for purpose' and/or 'dodgy trading'? Apple unspoken message, buying from abroad. Dont go there!
    Any help or views?

  • IOS 5.0.1 update on an iPhone 4S:  "not eligible for the requested build"???

    I just connected my iPhone 4S to iTunes and clicked "update".  It downloaded the update (took about 10 minutes), and then reports:  "The iPhone could not be updated.  This device isn't eligible for the requested build."
    I thought the iPhone 4S was the main target audience for this update?  (though actually, I haven't had battery life issues with 5.0 on my iPhone, by my iPad 1 has had the auto time zone problem from the moment I updated— so I'm actually hoping for it more for the iPad than the iPhone...)
    Is there something else coming eventually for the 4S ??

    Over the air worked for the iPhone— but why shouldn't the iTunes update work, too?
    I get the same error (not eligible) for my iPad 1 in iTunes, but I can't seem to do an over the air update on that one, because after downloading, it just says "Software Update Failed: An error occurred downloading iOS 5.0.1".  I don't know if there are different servers for iPads vs iPhones, but I guess I'll just wait and try the iPad later. (ironically, it was only the iPad, not the iPhone, that had any battery issues with iOS5, due to the auto time zone thing.  The iPhone was fine, so the update was less urgent for it anyway...)
    Anyway, that's now an iPad problem, not an iPhone problem!

  • Problem with IPad , did an update as requested now it does nothing, but display a graphic that shows I should connect to ITunes . So I connect it to my IMac run ITunes nothing happens. Try restore pop up says not eligible for restore.

    Wow what a pile of crap you must wade through to ask a question .
    Ok so the problem is I did an update on my IPad and now it does nothing but show a graphic showing the power cable connecting to ITunes
    So  I connect iPad to my IMac and prompt iTunes nothing happens. So I try sinc nothing happens.
    So I try restore and the popup says I am not eligible for restore.
    What is going on with this stupid machine

    Machines are incapable of being stupid. Not so of their operators.
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • "Ipad could not be restored. The device is not eligible for the requested build"

    Tried to update ipad to 7.12 it only says "Ipad could not be restored. The device is not eligible for the requested build". Also tried to restore it to the old version but says the same thing. Please need help

    If you tried to restore the old version I assume that your iPad was jailbroken. If my assumption is incorrect, please forgive me for jumping to conclusions. If it wasn't jailbroke, maybe this will help.
