AT&T teams up for the best Galaxy S9 deal so far, at $595 off
We thought nothing can top T-Mobile's Galaxy S9 deal, or Verizon's BOGO, but the awfully quiet on the promotional S9 front AT&T just burst into action, offering the S9 for $595 off when all is done and dusted.
Yep, the carrier has entered a partnership with Costco to deliver you $395 in bill credits, while the retailer adds a $200 cash card, bringing the price of an S9 down to, well, $195. If you pick the $914.99 S9+, the bill credit amount will still be $395, so the larger, dual camera model will end up costing you just $320 in the end. Still great.
Needless to say, you have to be a member, and the deal requires a new line of service, but is valid for both new and existing customers, as long as they sign up for AT&T's Next phone payment plans. Costco, in its turn, simplifies the cash card process by allowing you to fill an AT&T Rebate Redemption Form online, and getting the $200 in your mail in the weeks to follow. AT&T's plans start at $65, and here's the full scoop on the bill credits:
AT&T Next: $26.33 - $13.17 bill credit = $13.16/mo for 30 months
AT&T Next Every Year: $32.92 - $16.46 bill credit = $16.46/mo for 24 months (~$395 total)
AT&T Next: $30.50 - $13.17 bill credit = $17.33/mo for 30 months
AT&T Next Every Year: $38.12 - $16.46 bill credit = $21.66/mo for 24 months
AT&T Next: $26.33 - $13.17 bill credit = $13.16/mo for 30 months
AT&T Next Every Year: $32.92 - $16.46 bill credit = $16.46/mo for 24 months (~$395 total)
AT&T Next: $30.50 - $13.17 bill credit = $17.33/mo for 30 months
AT&T Next Every Year: $38.12 - $16.46 bill credit = $21.66/mo for 24 months
The deal runs until March 22 in select Costco retail locations, so hurry up if you are in need of a new phone plan on AT&T, and want to get the S9 for $195, or the S9+ for $320, respectively.
