Nokia Visa $50 rebate/prepaid card
 
Hello all.

New here, but wanted to see what's the concensus or thoughts about this. I ordered my N900 from NokiaUSA online store and was under the impression that it would qualify for the $50 Nokia Visa prepaid card/rebate. However, the Nokia rep told me that Nokia will not honor it, it was only intended for ppl who bought the phone from other places, such as Amazon, Newegg, etc. Does that sound right? I read the Nokia Visa $50 prepaid card form/document, and no where does it say only valid if purchased through other places such as Amazon etc. What you guys think?

Got it from the Chicago store, they only said to wait for a few days because the Ovi site isn't up yet. Once it is up, I can submit the rebate.

I hope that's true, then I am glad I bought the phone from Nokia. Thanks for your feedback.

I am not sure this is correct. The Nokia USA site does not even list the rebate like all the other retalers do.

Would someone please conifirm that the NokiaUSA.com purchases are indeed eligible for the -$50-00 rebate?

On lower right hand corner, there's "400" number. I've see other PDF form that has other numbers. I wonder if that number indicate anyting??

Re: Nokia Visa $50 rebate/prepaid card
 
Yeah I'm curious about this as well. I'm hoping to grab an n900 for christmas, and wanted to get in on the rebate deal... if nokiausa wont honor it though, might just have to order through amazon/newegg or something...

Going slightly off-topic here, but still on the rebate thing .. ?

What's your opinion regarding the purchase date requirements thing .. ? I mean, I 'purchased' my Nokia N900 on Oct 2, so would I qualify for the rebate or not .. ? As far as I can tell, there's no requirement for the invoice in order to get the rebate .. So does this mean that I can still get the rebate, even though I pre-ordered the phone before the rebate time started ?

I think this' been debated to death in other threads, but I'd think that the date of the transaction on the credit card would be operative.

Yeah, I know it was debated in other threads, but I thought a summary for that debate would be nice to mention here :) ..

How can Nokia find out the transaction date on the Credit Card .. ?

Just to be clear, I'm not summarizing the other thread here, this is just my opinion. I mentioned the credit card charge date, because in the case of a dispute, that would hold up legally, since that is the date you paid them.

The summary is - A preorder is not an order (it's little more than an queue of orders to be processed), thus no invoice. When the vendor has the product, charges your card then an invoice is created. Otherwise, your warranty would also start on the preorder date which would suck in this case.

In my case I preordered on 10/21 from Newegg. My invoice date is 11/25 when they charged my credit card.

Just got off the phone with Nokia's rebate dept. 1 800 436 6394 and was told the rebate was valid when purchasing the phone from Nokia online. Hope that helps

You don't need to create another account. You have to provide your user ID when you send in the rebate form. I guess then, they'll verify if is a working account.

Can the rebate be resold for people outside the US? :)
(like 40$ for 50 or something !)

Re: Nokia Visa $50 rebate/prepaid card

livingxl3g3nd 2009-12-09 01:59
Re: Nokia Visa $50 rebate/prepaid card
 
Do you have to cut off the upc out of the box. or can you make a copy of it with your reciept?


So they want the

1. application rebate form (filled out)
2. invoice receipt copy
3. upc code with ime on the box ( can it be a copy or do we have to cut it out of the box?) what about if returns or something..

anything else?

Cutting it off the box is going to make returns tricky. I guess you need to decide if its worth the US$50 to you

Here's how to get Nokia's N900 holiday buyer rebate/promotion for $50 with the Ovi Store not working or open. The Nokia Rebate must be mailed by January 8 latest (don't be misled by the January 15 receipt deadline listed on the nokia form).

I got a rebate for a BH-905 bluetooth headset from Nokia in December (different promotion) but so far none of the 4 rebates for N900's/N97's that I know of has received a card or any acknowledgement of submission.

I received a letter requesting my Ovi Store user name. I sent it back on Saturday. So at least they are moving along in the process.

On the rebate form it said to call 1-800-436-6394 for status of order. But the automated speaker directed me to www.nokiapromos.com to check.

When I went into the "Order Status Lookup" under "Where's My Submission?", it said it couldn't find my data. So I guess I'll give it a couple of weeks more.

I wonder if anyone's done it and received some info?

I am yet to receive words from the Ovi store regarding the rebate.

I just got a letter today saying that my phone is not valid for the rebate. Then it goes on to say that I should return the letter with all the missing info by January 25th. WTF, Nokia?

The only bullet of info was "This mobile phone purchased is not valid for this offer."
I ordered from Amazon on Nov. 20th and got the phone a week before Xmas.
