    As of right now, we're headed to our local Verizon store Monday morning (when we're officially in the Verizon system) to pick up two Tours. That means $199 each, from what I'm seeing.

    However, I'm also seeing Best Buy $149. Usually places like BB wouldn't do that unless there was a rebate they were passing along. Is that the case? If so, and I buy from Verizon, is there an equivalent mail-in rebate?

    $100 is nothing to sneeze at for us....so I'd really appreciate any insight.

    Oh, I so want to get mine today!!

    I believe Best Buy has a $50 mail in, so you'll pay $100 in the end per device.

    And unless I'm mistaken, the $70 mail in rebate is in the form of a Visa debit card. Pretty much the same as cash, but you have to spend it. Can't put it back in the bank.

    Go to Best Buy.

    Nope. BestBuy Mobile does not do rebates.

    Price at a Verizon store after rebate = $200

    Price at BestBuy out the door: New Customer = $100 / Existing Customer = $150

    You can request a check from Verizon after receiving you Visa card. You can also take it to some banks and they will give3 you the money for a small fee depending on the bank.

    That has always made me mad that a existing customer get the worse deal than a new customer. Been with VZW for 10 yrs and you would think i would get a little break once in a while
