Question about $50 gift card offer

I currenty have T-mobil but plan to switch to ATT or Sprint sometime in the next few months. Would I then be eligible for this offer or is it only good if I upgrade and stay with T-mobil? Thanks

As long as you keep your same number, even if you port it to another carrier, you'll be eligible.

Question about iTunes Gift cards and App store.

Well, I need to get some apps for my dad's iPhone 3GS, and the problem is, that I don't have a credit card or paypal account. I can buy an iTunes gift card to get those apps but, my doubt is, with those gift cards, can I buy apps for the iPhone despite the fact that my Apple ID account is from Mexico, and not from the US?

You cannot buy anything from the U.S. itunes store unless you are in the U.S. and have a valid address in the U.S. and credit card tied to that address.
http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html
"Purchases or rentals (as applicable) from the iTunes Store are available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions, and are not available in any other location. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Store from outside of the available territory. Apple may use technologies to verify such compliance."

Shadow Warrior and The Evil Within $10 Gift Card Offers

Hi,
I was just wondering if there is an end-date for the $10 Gift Card offers with the pre-order of Shadow Warrior and Evil Within.
I want to pre-order both of them before release date and get the $10 GCs, but I don't have the funds at the moment. Am I able to wait until just a few days before release and pre-order? Or will these $10 GC offers expire at some point before the game releases?
Thanks!
Tyler

Hello Tyler,
That’s a great question! Receiving a $10 Best Buy gift card for pre-ordering either Shadow Warrior or The Evil Within this week is certainly a stellar offer. It makes perfect sense you’d want to take advantage of these promotions while they’re still live, so I’m more than happy to assist in providing the timeframe in which you’ll be able to do so.
Since these promotions are part of our Weekly Ad for September 21-September 27, I’d say that you likely have until Saturday, September 27th to get your pre-order in for either game and take advantage of the $10 gift card promotion. I certainly hope you’re able to get your pre-order(s) placed in time!
Thanks for posting and please let us know if you have any further questions.
Cheers,

$200 Trade In Gift Card Offer with Verizon Edge

I was informed by two Best Buy associates that I could trade in any working smartphone for a $200 gift card that could be applied toward a purchase of a Galaxy S5 or a Note 4. Both associates told me that the gift card could be used for a two year contract renewal or the Verizon Edge program. If I chose to go with Verizon Edge then the gift card and any cash that I wanted to put toward the retail cost of the phone would be applied before the net difference was spread over a 24 month period and would reduce the monthly amount payable to Verizon for the phone cost. .
I bought a black Note 4 last week and renewed for two years at that time but the Edge program was offered at that time and I was told it would be reduced with the $200 gift card from the trade in. I went back to my local Best Buy store to return it because they now had a white phone in stock which they did not have last week. Also, since last week Verizon has also reduced their data plans and I now have a 10GB plan so wold qualify for the $25 discount per phone line instead of $15 with the 6GB plan. When I went to return the phone I told the representative what I wanted to accomplish and they said it would be no problem to apply the gift card, cash and change to the Edge plan.
When it got to the point to apply the gift card from the return and the cash I had previously paid they told me they could not do that and I would have to either pay the full retail price for the phone or spread the $749.99 cost across 24 months. They showed me on their screen that they did not have the capability to apply the payment.
Why was I told by two other associates that this was possible and was the representative tonight correct in saying it is not possible to apply the reduction. She did say that if I had bad credit and Verizon required a down payment that she could then accept a payment to reduce the cost of the phone but becuase I had good credit she could not do so. She then offered to put the price of the phone on a credit card which I would then have to pay monthly.
Please advise.

Greetings djcarree,
I realize this may not be the answer you were hoping for, but avm5689 is correct: Best Buy gift cards cannot be applied as payment towards devices on Verizon Edge, AT&T Next, or Sprint Easy Pay plans. To apply any gift card to the purchase of a mobile phone, customers must purchase the device as a traditional upgrade (incurring any applicable activation fees) or as a replacement device at its full retail price. Full details on how Verizon Edge plans work can be found here:
Common Questions About Verizon EDGE
That said, it's disappointing to read you may have received misinformation regarding available payment options during your initial visit. We rely on our in-store reps to provide accurate and detailed information on our partner's services and our own policies, so it's disconcerting to learn of situations where that expectation may not have been met.
If you're still in need of assistance and have not already done so, I'd encourage you to return to your local store when the have the chance. As I mentioned above, you'll need to re-purchase your Note 4 as either a replacement device or traditional upgrade in order to apply your trade-in gift cards towards the sale. Please also note that mobile phones can only be returned or exchanged within 14 days of the purchase date, and that additional carrier restrictions may apply.

Question about swapping SIM cards on a Z10

Hi, everyone, I am a non-Blackberry user who works in IT support. One of my clients uses a Blackberry and has often asked me very complicated questions about how to do various unusual things with his device. At the present time, he is considering switching to a Z10, which would be set up using ActiveSync. He wants to know if he could swap the SIM card without having to go through the setup process again. My client travels a lot, and wants to use a local SIM card on an upcoming trip to a very remote area.
I've not been able to find an answer to this anywhere.
This is his exact question: "I just got it from a friend (ATT version) and I am trying to see if I like it enough to switch to it as my primary phone. Blackberry z10 asks you to sign in with your blackberry world ID when you first set up the phone. Question: Would you have to do it again if you put a different simm into it? With iPhone, it makes no difference so long as the device is unlocked—you can then exchange simm cards as often as you want. Would it be the same with an unlocked blackberry z10 (I know it's not possible with the bold 9900 as System 7 ties your ID to the simm card). In short, in blackberry z10, could you exchange the US simm for another country's simm without having to wipe the phone, etc. "
If anyone can shed some light on this for me, I'd be very grateful., Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
The key issues are thus:
Ensuring that the device is truly carrier unlocked
Ensuring that the specific device model is compatible with the radio frequencies/technologies that the desired carrier uses. There are 4 different Z10 models:
http://www.bbin.in/en/2013/03/03/4-types-blackberry-z10-models-fits-better/?utm_campaign=4-types-of-...
If both of those are OK (separate research of the desired carriers would of course be necessary), then it is indeed a simple matter to change carriers. For example, I changed from ATT to TMO by simply changing the SIM...no need to WIPE or anything, and my same BBID came along just fine. You should, however, always obtain a properly-sized SIM card from the carrier -- there are plenty of reports of folks trying to use "cut" SIM cards and experiencing errors.
With BB10, it's actually simpler than with legacy BBs. Legacy BBs used the BIS service, which required receipt onto the device (from the carrier data network) of Service Books so as to activate the various services that the user subscribed to. When changing carriers, it often could be that a latent Service Book from the prior carrier causes issues when shifting to a different carrier...and that's where WIPING and such came into play, so as to cleanse the device so that the new carrier could deliver all of the proper Service Books to the device. With BB10, there is no BIS, and there are no Service Books...so all of that complication is eliminated.
But, as always, YMMV.
Good luck!

Why do Apple support communities keep deleting discussions about cancelled gift cards?

It is a lot of work to advise the Apple consuming community of the problems people face trying to redeem cancelled gift cards. Why do you keep deleting these discussions? They are very informative and they are keeping within the agreement posted on your site. I spent a lot of time informing the community about the futility of trying to get information about a $15 gift card cancellation, and other people chimed in with the same problem, and then I logged on and found you have deleted the entire discussion? There was nothing improper or not factual.

Finally, it appears we have an answer in the form of resolution of the Bafard class action lawsuit in California. There was apparently information revealed in the lawsuit that the third party administrator for the cards cancelled about 290,000 cards (but can't really tell how many).
From a news article posted in late February 2014:
"Based on the informal discovery completed in the case so far, the motion said the total number of deactivated iTunes gift cards was about 290,000."
“Defendants possess no information that permits direct identification of the individual gift card holder for the majority of affected gift cards, and are thus unable to ascertain the precise number of individuals holding deactivated cards,” the motion said."
"Prepaid card company InComm Holdings Inc., also named as a defendant, provides services to Best Buy for the activation and deactivation of the iTunes gift cards, according to the complaint. The suit says Apple and Best Buy responded to a prelawsuit notice by claiming InComm was responsible for system-related issues with redeeming the gift cards."
According to the article, all remaining gift cards will be reactivated!!! So all we have to do is try to use our "deactiviated" cards again.
Not sure if this settlement relates only to InComm's deactivation of cards purchased at Best Buy, however. But at least just try.
http://www.law360.com/articles/513548/apple-best-buy-settle-deactivated-gift-car d-class-action
Hopefully this post won't get deleted as the approximately 290,000 card holders need to know.

About my gift card

Dear Apple expert,
If anyone can help me with my gift card issue, the problem is that my gift card have been charged from $100 to $0.01 cents with no reason and i don't know what was happening with that since gift card doesn't have any expiration date on it. The day i was filled up my credit was around November 2011. However, from what i know, it already changed since March of 2012. I felt so sad about that because I need that for my Itunes store. I hope you can help me solve that problem as soon as possible.
Best regard,
Kimberly.

Look at your purchase history to see what was charged.

About iTunes gift cards

If I buy an iTunes gift card for myself in USA, can I redeem it at my home in Iceland to rent and buy movies?

Yes, you can! You can redeem your gift cards anywhere in the world. However, if you bought it in USA, you can only redeem it on the US iTunes Store.

About the gift card balance after purchasing an item

Question about new video card from MSI - R7750-PMD1GD5/OC

Hello Folks,
I am afraid I can't find an answer to this anywhere, so I have had to post, even though I bet that somewhere, someone has asked this question before !!!!
I changed by Base Unit PC but kept my old monitors because I like them. I run two Acer AL1917's in extended mode.
Well, thats the problem, I did with the old PC which had a graphics card with two DVI outputs and it was easy to do by using two DVI to VGA converters.
However, the new PC has in it an MSI R7750-PMD1GD5/OC which has only one DVI, one HDMI and one Display Port.
Now, I know what the DVI and HDMI Ports are but have no idea what the Display port is!
THE MAIN PROBLEM IS I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO RUN TWO VGA MONITORS IN EXTENDED MODE with these three outputs?
The monitors are VGA ONLY, so is there any way I can use this display card at all to run two vga monitors in extended mode or should I just eBay it !!!
At the moment I have swapped it out for an old Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 which works fine with two DVI's. But I was rather hoping to be able to use my new MSI card.
Is there any way I can do this please?
Many thanks for any help that anyone is able to give.
With best wishes to all for the New Year Ahead,
Trevor

Random Questions about Airport Extreme Card

I have an early 2006 iMac with the built in Airport Extreme card, and so far I've managed to use it to share my ethernet internet connection with my Nintendo DS, Wii, PS3, Apple TV, etc.
But I have some random questions that I'm hoping some of you people can answer.
1. Does my Airport card support UPnP (or whatver the Mac equivelent is), and if so, how do I enable it?
2. With my old router I used to be able to type it's IP address into the address bar of my browser and access the settings for it. Anyway of doing this sort of thing to access the Airport's settings?
That's all I need to know really. Any help would be appreciated.
1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi
UPnP is handled by your router/modem.
You cant get access to the airport extreme card it has no settings to my knowledge(apart from network prefs).

Question about the current OnDemand offering

Hi,
We are looking at the ondemand offering via http://ondemand.com/.
We have some question regarding the solutions avaiale. On the website, 3 services are mentioned:
- SAP BusinessObjects BI OnDemand
- Business Intelligence for Salesforce
- SAP BusinessObjects Address Cleansing OnDemand
It is clear what these solutions encompass. What is less clear to us, is how it maps to the list on the OnDemand support website. Here there is a list of
- Business Intelligence OnDemand
- crystalreports.com
- Nsite Business Applications
- Information OnDemand
- Data Quality OnDemand
The first 2 are pretty clear on their meaning.
To what do the 3 other refer?
For example,
Does "Data Quality OnDemand" currently equal to the solution "Data Quality OnDemand"?
Does "Information OnDemand" currently equal to the solution "Business Intelligence for Salesforce"?
Thanks in advance for any clarifications!

Question about Audigy sound card

Hi everyone, right now i have a very outdated sound card, a creative li've 6 bit. It sucks i'm not going to lie. But anyways, i have my home theatre system hooked up into it through a Y splitter cable so that i can hook the rca cables into the /8 slot in the sound card.
If i turn up the speakers really loud, i hear a static noise, a hum and fuzz if you will. The music usually drowns it out but then if the music stops i'm left with an awful hum. I am for sure upgrading to the Audigy Extreme, and i'm wondering if that would have any affect? I know the sound of the actual movie or song will be way better, but how about that hum?
Hopefully you all can help!
thanks so much!

sprint_9,
Yes, you're right. The Digital I/O module isn't compatible with the Audigy 2 ZS soundcard.
You should be able to find a 3.5mm mono to RCA cable easily from your local audio/electronic stores if not, you can also get a 3.5mm stereo to dual RCA cable for the same purpose. Take note, only one end of the RCA cable has the audio signal(Sorry, can't remember whether it's the white or the red end).
You can also find such cable from online stores like this.

Question about Citi AAdvantage Card

Anyone know if you can get the signup bonus for this card multiple times? I got it once about five years ago and wanted to know if I would be eligible for it again. I asked Citi and they said ask American Airlines. American Airlines said ask Citi.

I asked Citi and they said ask American Airlines. American Airlines said ask Citi. Yes you can after that time period.Citi seems to have moved its AA cards to an 18 month rule, you cannot get the bonus if have had the card (opened or closed) within the last 18 months. It has to be the same card for this to matter (e.g. with a gold you can still get the bonus on a plat). And recently Citi is willing to approve cards and not give the bonus (because of the 18 month rule). Previously they would deny the card if it wasn't going to get the bonus.
