this is my first post here, but i've been a lurker! I have to say that I took advantage of the vonage deal today! I was thinking about vonage anyway but I decided to stay with verizon until Time Warner (who just took over the area) offered the digital phone in this area.
THEN I saw this offer, so I decided it was the time to try it. I went in around 7:30 am after hitting JcPenneys and Sears and I picked up the Vonage phone adapter for $60 (we will talk about rebates in a minute) and since I knew that I would get the $200 shopping spree I picked up the Creative zen MP3 player for $140 something (had rebate as well) and season 2 of Lost.
I stood in the ONLY line for VONAGE for 1 hour. It was okay though. I had my sister there to talk to and were were talking to the two people in front of us. The guy in front of them kept track of the average time it took to cash someone out, so we knew how long we'd be there. It was fun. I do have to say I CAN NOT stant the people who complain in line. This lady was bouncing back and forth on her feet complaining that the line was taking too long and then she finally left for a different line. I wanted to tell her, if she can't handle it then don't come shopping on this day. It's HALF THE FUN LOL!
Anyways, I got up to the checkout and I had to pay $33 (including tax) for the activation. Then the $200 was mine to spend. He let me use part of the $200 to pay for the $60 vonage phone adapter and then the MP3 player that was about $140 and I had put LOST back (it's cheaper online right now anyways) so minus my $200 credit I spent about $28 there.. so about $60 total.
BUT GUESS WHAT. Between the Circuit City Rebates and the product rebates I have $130 in rebates $20 on the mp3player, $60 on the vonage adapter and then a $50 on that I did not know about for doing activation and purchasing the adapter at the same time.
WOOO WHOOOO.. THIS IS AWESOME. So, once I get that back in what... 6-8 weeks I will have went shopping for free.. isn't that awesome??????
PS>>>>> I hooked up the vonage already and it was easy as pie to hook up and it's crystal clear.. I was on the internet and phone at the same time and it seamed to be fine!!
