Rogers Internet - New signups - $200 off Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii

[sgdnfan]

(Apologies if this is a re-post, I searched but couldn't find anything).

I was in Rogers Video (trying to take advantage of that 2 for $30 deal :twisted: ) when I saw a sign that said $200 off a XBox 360, PS3, or Wii.

Apparantly, this is for new internet signups only. So that means an XBox 360 would be $199, PS3 $349, and Wii $89.

I'm not sure of the terms of the contract (there were no details on the sign). But could be a good deal for someone if they are thinking of making the switch.

(btw: this was in London at the Cheapside location, I'm assuming this is nation-wide. The promo supposedly started Aug 28th, and I think it runs until December).

[sgdnfan]

I think that is something different. The ad I saw (in store) had pictures of the Xbox, PS3, and Wii, and said "$200 off" or something like that.

It's on the last page of their latest national flyer:

Awwwwwwwww man:-0 . I just signed up for Rogers Hi-Speed Express under Rogers F&F discount and got 40% off. I wonder if this was a better deal ???:confused:

[Jusdem]

Sounds like a sweet deal - but I already have a membership.

I was wondering how I can qualify for this F&F discount on the high-speed internet - if not, then is there any other way to get a monthly discount on this overpriced ISP service?

[billymadison]

what if you just canned your internet service and then re-signed up (and waive the activation/setup fee of course via retentions)

[Tsidneku]

Can anybody read the fine print on the bottom of the flyer? Any clue if this is a contract deal? (I would think it is -_-)

[tomtomtom]

definitely! It is just the same as future shop giving away 200 bucks GC, except in a different way this time

Once finishing the contract in December, I am leaving Rogers for good. I am so sick of BT throttling :evil:

[Jusdem]

Here is the fine print...

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/995/fineprintyo2.jpg

Looks like NO CONTRACT is needed. :)

[Narci]

what if you just canned your internet service and then re-signed up (and waive the activation/setup fee of course via retentions)

Doubt it will work. as the Op stated, 'new ineternet signup only' which probably has a clause in there that says new sign up have to at least not have had rogers service for 30, 60 or whatever days they set.

[orbitdesign]

Can anybody read the fine print on the bottom of the flyer? Any clue if this is a contract deal? (I would think it is -_-)

I can't read it very well, but from what I can make out, I see nothing about a contract and it says you can take $100 of the purchase of a PS2 or Nintendo DS instead.

[kevin01]

If i called and threatened to cancel if i didnt get the $200 off, do you think they would give it to me?

[billymadison]

If i called and threatened to cancel if i didnt get the $200 off, do you think they would give it to me?

Doubtful. I tried to threaten them before by saying "If you don't give me the friends and family discount, i'll cancel" Of course it didn't work. F&F discount was only for new signups as well, and I am less inclined to think that they will give you 200 dollars off a product that isn't theirs if you are an existing customer already.

It's worth a try though. If you get it, let everyone know :D

[DFS 360]

The PS3 would be $459, not $349, as all the 60GB models with the Emotion Engine for PS2 games are completely gone. (http://www.destructoid.com/sony-confirms-that-their-60gb-stock-is-fully-depleted-41413.phtml)

So the prices would be:

PS3- $459
Xbox 360- $199
Wii- Practically free:razz:

[ecgz88]

it's wierd, no contract need...........:)

[newdeal]

I called rogers to try to cancel my home phone and internet and Cable TV. They ended up offering me 6 months home phone for free (which was costing me $45 a month) and 20% off internet for a year. So thats a savings of over $200. They probobly would have offered me a discount on cable too but I told them I wanted to cancel it regardless because the image quality is horrible on the non-HD channels in London, the HD channels look really sweet though and I only have an EDTV so in theory the HD channels shouldn't really look better than the regular channels on it because the regular ones are 480i I beleive. Hopefully satellite will be better.

[Narci]

Qualifying Rogers Yahoo! Hi Speed activations are ADSL Express, Cable Express or Extreme and Portable Internet. Activations of Ultra Lite, Lite or Portable Internet Basic do not qualify for this offer.


What is ADSL Express?

[Acuratl]

WOW no contract, hot as **** for those in the east

[Tsidneku]

Sorry. Stupid question; are they inferring that we need to make the console purchases at a Rogers store (I wouldn't know if they even carry them, I never go to a Rogers store) or is this just a COUPON of some sort?

[Impossibles]

It doesn't say "no contract" it says "ask staff for details".

Telus offers a $400 GC if you sign a 3 year contract for ultra super duper high speed internet (in BC).

[bobmanw]

:( rogers high speed internet isn't offered where i live in Montreal :(
and i want to change ISP... >.< damn videotron changing their policy from unlimited to a 100 gig combined cap for upload and download for ultra high speed cable modem...
:mad: :mad: :mad:

[ryan123]

$200 Instant rebate to be applied against the purchase of Wii, PS3, PSP or XBOX 360 at time of qualifying Hi Speed activation. $100 Instant rebate to be applied against purchase of PS2 or Nintendo DS at time of qualifying Hi Speed activation.
Does this mean you get another $100 for ds or ps2? so in total you save 300 dollars.

[tridium]

Awwwwwwwww man:-0 . I just signed up for Rogers Hi-Speed Express under Rogers F&F discount and got 40% off. I wonder if this was a better deal ???:confused:

It's not a better deal. If you signed up for Rogers Express at $45 a month that works out to $216 in savings over a year. If you signed up for TV as well, it'll be more. Though if there's no contract with this offer (which I doubt... it'll probably be a year in length; remember Bell's free 360? Required at least a year contract), then this is a smoking deal.

And don't try adjusting your F&F deal (from the site:)
Offers cannot be combined with any other Rogers offer.

[wolvie11]

hot!! anyone tried this deal yet? any catch?

[CylusDeals]

You don't have to sign a contract, but you have to give a verbal agreement of 12 months.

[ecgz88]

if it's new activation, they can't catch you based on verbal agreement

You don't have to sign a contract, but you have to give a verbal agreement of 12 months.

[Narci]

if it's new activation, they can't catch you based on verbal agreement

Umm..somehow I don't think this offer is available 'over the phone' since it's on the roger's video website. I would assume that you need to go into a roger's video store for this promo so you can get the 360, ps3 or whatever there to get the 'instant rebate'.

[jjrooster]

what if you just canned your internet service and then re-signed up (and waive the activation/setup fee of course via retentions)

I think you might be able to cancel, and have someone else in the house sign-up as a new user.


The PS3 would be $459, not $349, as all the 60GB models with the Emotion Engine for PS2 games are completely gone. (http://www.destructoid.com/sony-confirms-that-their-60gb-stock-is-fully-depleted-41413.phtml)

So the prices would be:

PS3- $459
Xbox 360- $199
Wii- Practically free:razz:

DFS, that's just untrue. There will be lots of 60GB PS3's in retail till Christmas probably. They just aren't making them anymore, but they're in retail channels.

[Mr_A]

Doubtful. I tried to threaten them before by saying "If you don't give me the friends and family discount, i'll cancel" Of course it didn't work. F&F discount was only for new signups as well, and I am less inclined to think that they will give you 200 dollars off a product that isn't theirs if you are an existing customer already.

It's worth a try though. If you get it, let everyone know :D

IMO if you cancel your existing Rogers Hi-Speed or get it transferred to somebody else's name then you CAN get this discount or any other discounts. Thats what I did that where I was living currently with my room mates, I called Rogers and transferred the existing Hi-Speed account to one of my roomys. Then after a couple of days I called back again and said that I want a new activation on F&F discount and it was all done.

PLUS ..... My buddy works at Rogers and he confirmed that even if you have one account with Hi-Speed, you can always open another account on same name and get the discount.

[Mr_A]

For all those ppl who want to know about Rogers Friends and Familty discount, here are the highlights :

- Only Hi-Speed, Home Phone and Cable TV fall under the promotion. (They also have all three for $99 for regular activations)
- It is valid for first 12 months.
- You have to call their special number 1-877-862-4827. Then provide them with the Rogers Employee name and ID of whoever your know.

Ummm .... thats what I can remember off right now. Will keep you guyz updated if anything comes up.

[elty]

so how much is internet with F&F?

[Mr_A]

so how much is internet with F&F?

Its the Express .. comes out at $36 after taxes and everything.

[dragon_ll]

can anyone tell me more details for the friends and family deal...

i want to switch my tv, home phone and internet...

thanks

[firehawk12]

Wow, it's a hot deal because Portable Internet is included.
You can buy the modem, the starter kit, get the 200 bucks off, return the modem. So you only get 180 off in the end, but you don't even have to use their service or have someone install something at your house.

Man, I'd do this if Rogers Video in Guelph sold portable internet.

[Mulder and Scully]

I'd like to see someone ask Rogers, Bell and the rest of them why us longtime customers never see any rewards like this.

[firehawk12]

Because they're trying to attract new customers...

[grape]

hmmm its pretty interesting.. but i srsly doubt there is no catch... they prolly will ask for the $200 dollars back if u cancel thier internet after the 1st month.. or charge u 100 dollars for cancelation...

[zwanzig]

I am having trouble signing up for this service....

I kept on getting this message
"• We are currently experiencing system problems. Please try again later, or call one of Rogers e-Care representatives at 1-877-343-5745. "

[Moebiwankenobi]

You can still get this deal in Alberta if you go with the portable internet.

BUT: $50/mth (no contract) and $100 for the modem purchase so you are really getting $50 off. Sucks for Albertans.

Is it one year contract? Can I just pick up digital cable box and install by self?

Thanks.

[Mr_A]

Is it one year contract? Can I just pick up digital cable box and install by self?

Thanks.

I m not sure whehter its a contract or not. But yeah, the promotional price is for 1 year. And sorry ... I didnt quite get your cable question ?

[skywalker]

I m not sure whehter its a contract or not. But yeah, the promotional price is for 1 year. And sorry ... I didnt quite get your cable question ?

Thanks. I mean if I called Rogers and ordered Digital cable tv, do I have to wait the technican came to door to install or I could pick up cable box from rogers store and connect at home by self?

so all included... are $99 a month right? Do people normally renew F&F?

[Mr_A]

so all included... are $99 a month right? Do people normally renew F&F?

$99 a month for all three is NOT F&F discount, its regular discount for everybody. You just have to call them up on regular Rogers # and get it. Its even listed on thier website.

As for the digital cable ... I dunno abt that. Most prolly you'd have to wait for the technician to come and do the installation.

[belgiangenius]

If i called and threatened to cancel if i didnt get the $200 off, do you think they would give it to me?

I doubt it. I tried that recently, and when they didn't give me a new deal, I actually did cancel. 3WEB is much cheaper anyway.

[busyman]

[kk1030]

just called in to customer support sales today, 1 year contract is required for this deal.

[noplan]

I called in (3web bumped up prices and I was thinking of switching anyway). I asked if a contract was required and they said 12 months. Has anyone tried in-store to see the details of the verbal agreement?

[sadhakim]

tried getting a WII in toronto, no luck...

For all those ppl who want to know about Rogers Friends and Familty discount, here are the highlights :

so if i wanted digital tv (or even digital HD tv), there would be a further discount over what is advertised on the Rogers website so long as i know a Rogers Employee?

[mahjongmaniac]

seems HOT if there are no contracts....

but like another said, flyer does say "ask staff for details"... so there may be more T&C's than what's stated in fine print...

[ScoFF]

I called about the $200 off a Wii/360 thing, she said it was for students only. Can anyone confirm?

Is this $200 of a Wii thing for internet only or do I need a tv package with it?

I'm about to sign up as a new subscriber (I have no services) to Rogers for Digital cable/internet. Does anyone know the best deal?
There's the $200 gift certificate thing, the friends and family and the $99 for the 3 services deal.
Does anyone know the contract term for any of these?

Thanks.

[Derek]

Interesting deal. By the sounds of it, there is a 1 year contract that's required. Can anyone confirm definitively?

[ScoFF]

Friends and Family sounds like a better deal.
40% off two $45 services is approx $18 each for 12 months.
That's $432 savings after a year instead of a $200 gift card.

I'm in the same boat but in the Toronto area. Been looking and asking everywhere/everyone but it seems there are no hot deals. :(

[sachin1]

My brother just got his Internet installed on Tuesday the 28th... can he get the $200 off now? Does it have to go through the Rogers video store?

[mahjongmaniac]

interesting... i don't recall the flyer saying "for students only"....

[Triple_Eh]

The F&F deal sounds decent and I need to set up high-speed in my residence.

Any Rogers employees want to be my friend?

[loonie]

same here ....want to get Rogers home phone , a few days back someone was asking ppl to pm him for employee details so that interested RFDers could get the F&F discount, but I can't locate the thread now.........pls help, TIA !!

[hi_me_again]

Went to Rogers Video last Friday and got an Xbox 360 for $199 after signing up for hi-speed internet. The guy told me that it's a 1-year contract but i guess it's only verbal.

Moreover, I got a 1 year promotional rate for $38.95/month; I have to wait for my bills to confirm.

[zzricezz]

suck.. the F&F deal is only for new activations only.

[iustim]

Same here, don't have a Rogers friend! If someone here would generously share their Employee Number with us, so we could take up the F&F offer, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!

[timmui]

Corrected for you
Same here, don't have Money! If someone here would generously share their Credit Card Number with us, so we could take up the F&F offer, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!

ED:"I am crazy huh?" Jay Leno:"No you are just cheap"

[samsonite]

Hi,

Just like to know when this offer ends. Cause $200 off a ps3 is nice.

[akz]

is the promo price of 38.95 for highspeed (extreme or express) ?? cause I called one place and they claimed that 1 year contract + $200 for the wii but the fee is $50 something a month .. anyone able to clarify?

[reflex]

I'm trying to hook up internet in my residence. The best Rogers deal I've found so far is $38.99/month for 8 months. It has 7MBps and 60 gig cap. Is there anything better out there that's for 8 months?

[akz]

ok I just dug up more info on this deal.

not all locations carry consoles so ur pretty much out of luck on that one.

$200 off requires 1 year contract to rogers @ REGULAR PRICE for the internet service.

some stores which do not carry consoles may offer you promo rates such as express - $38.99 / extreme - $43.99. (YMMV) and they wont guarantee you a Wii or whatever console you want its still first come first serve when they hit the stores.. so this deal is ice cold..

[ScoFF]

what if you do the $200 off a wii but they have no wii's? Do they give you one from under the counter or a GC to use at futureshop whenever you want?

Can you do this on one service or do you have to get cable tv/internet etc.?

It'd be good if you did friends and family for cable tv and the $200 off a wii for just the internet. After a year cancel and do a new deal.

[akz]

what if you do the $200 off a wii but they have no wii's? Do they give you one from under the counter or a GC to use at futureshop whenever you want?


Nope they wont hold one for you or special order one for you either! Its just what is available in store .. so you would STILL have to wait for a Wii to come in and be at the front of the line to get it.

[McMaggot]

Sneaky bastards, why doesn't the fine print say this is a 1 year contract.

[akz]

haha becaefull some places are saying 2yr contract is required.. lol

[xboy]

I don't know anyone that works at Rogers so, I signed up for the $200 shopping card. Apparently you can use this card at Rogers Video, so technically I guess you can use it to buy a Wii/360/PS3 anytime you want or rent movies. You can also buy Blue tickets. I think this is much better deal... I have wii60, do I really want a PS3? (although they do have 60gig one). Anyways I can decide later now... the only thing is that it may take 6-12 wks for delivery which sorta sucks.

The site is not working so you have to sign up through their e-care number.

[nman123]

hey i just upgraded my rogers lite to express 2 days ago, can I do anything to get this $200 ? Do i need to purchase the modem and does the $200 dollars only good for Rogers Video?

[SheeB]

Same here, don't have a Rogers friend! If someone here would generously share their Employee Number with us, so we could take up the F&F offer, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!

Yeah right, so I can get fired while I am at and lose a great job at Rogers.

[netxtc]

:( rogers high speed internet isn't offered where i live in Montreal :(
and i want to change ISP... >.< damn videotron changing their policy from unlimited to a 100 gig combined cap for upload and download for ultra high speed cable modem...
:mad: :mad: :mad:

Portable internet is.

[Himself]

Just picked up Portable Internet and got a PSP daxter pack for $200 off, so $29 bux and tax for a psp, game, famguy collection, 1gb card :)
He mentioned 12 month contract, but that was it, I didn't have to sign anything confirming this. Also, I had canceled my High speed Extreme at home to get this instead, and was still able to get it.

[helldub]

Here is the fine print...

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/995/fineprintyo2.jpg

Looks like NO CONTRACT is needed. :)

no contract is needed on anything right now... however they are coming out with contracts in the new year on all services...

[kimro]

I called about the $200 off a Wii/360 thing, she said it was for students only. Can anyone confirm?

Does anyone know the contract term for any of these?

Thanks.

I went to a Rogers Video store in Mississauga over the weekend and I was informed that the $200 promotion is for anyone who signs up for 12 month internet contract (express or extreme only.) You get the first month free BUT they charge a $20 fee so it's kinda like getting first month for half.

As for the console, you have to buy on the spot. I wanted a wii but they didn't have one so the sales rep suggested I pay for the whole thing to get on a list on the spot. They will then call me when it comes in (no eta) and then I would apply the rebate afterwards.

Cheers.

I checked the TSC website, and it looks like TSC GC's (http://www.theshoppingchannel.com/product/gifts/gift+cards/silver+box+gift+card+%24250+112250.do?&N=100382&Ns=P_DATE_CREATED) can be used at Rogers video stores. (click Terms of Use or FAQ)

Does the xbox 360 rogers is offering have HDMI????

[mjdavila]

hey if anyone doing this doesn't really want an xbox / wii / ps3... i'll give someone 150$ for the 200$ off coupon thingy...
That's 150$ towards your internet...

(I'm already with rogers so I can't join) :(

[nathangl]

omg $150 for a $200 gift certificate?? wow.. thats a really good deal man!

[stunney]

I ordered my internet on Sept. 19th, and I still haven't gotten my gift card! :evil: I have been on the phone w/ Rogers so many times I'm actually thinking it's a good idea to go back to dial-up... well, let's not be that hasty, but they've ripped me off nontheless!

BOOO @ Rogers!!!

Oh, and for anyone else having this issue, call this # to get directly to the eCare deptartment that is responsible for this promotion.

1-877-343-5745
type in 3, then zero during the prompts (english, don't know the options for francais).

[matdwyer]

I signed up like august 28th or somethign for internet in my new apartment, asked if there was any deals, they said no, so I said fine.

Out of the blue I remembered this thread in like november, called rogers, bitched for 30 minutes, and now have the 200 as a promo code on my account... can just go to any rogers video store that has consoles and pick it up for 200 off. (Rogers center does, orillia (other hometown) does (and had wiis in stock when I called)

I suggest if you signed up recently that you call and get this... they never mentioned anythign about a 1 year contract, but regardless I'll be here for a year and require internet so I'm happy to sign for a 199 ps3. (Next year i'll go with bell and get the xbox haha)

Point, call in, *****, *****, *****, as above said ecare department knows the deals....

(once I cash in my rebate i get to start bitching about how shady my rogers is... get me some discounts there hopefully)

(once I cash in my rebate i get to start bitching about how shady my rogers is... get me some discounts there hopefully)

Spoken like a true RFDer!!! Right on man!:D :lol:

I'd stick with the F&F deal, it's pretty decent. It's not that hard to find a Rogers employee ;)

Does the F&F deal also qualify for $200 off a system??

Double Dipping like a true RFDer. LOL.
I was looking to do the same if possible.

Success, well sort of, I just signed up for Portable high speed internet using friends and family promo and asked about the $200 off XBOX 360 promo and was told that the best she can do is take off 20% off my already existing High Speed internet, offered us more channels on our cable for less, all in all Im saving an a lot more money a month.

I understand you signed up August 28.
But when did you call back in to ask for the deal?
And what number did you call?

I signed up like august 28th or somethign for internet in my new apartment, asked if there was any deals, they said no, so I said fine.

Out of the blue I remembered this thread in like november, called rogers, bitched for 30 minutes, and now have the 200 as a promo code on my account... can just go to any rogers video store that has consoles and pick it up for 200 off. (Rogers center does, orillia (other hometown) does (and had wiis in stock when I called)

I recently checked the promos Rogers had on high speen internet, and all I came up with was a $200 GC for the shopping channel? Where do I get the $200 off Wii/PS3/X360 deal? Is this posted anywhere online?

Called in and talked to csr... they then transferred me to ecare, who spoke to supervisor, who credited my account.

BTW this is also in the rogers flyer this week (available on rogersplus.ca)

you should have 0 problem doing this for new activation, I guess for previous ymmv

[errorinexcellence]

no one seems to know about the deal... only 1 rep and she said to go in stores to buy it and they will take $200 off there...

TSC giftcard can be used at Rogers Video towards a ps3/360 etc. I believe you can also go to RV and sign up for internet and get a $200 in store credit that has to be used the during the same visit?

Hello all,

I signed up for Rogers Extreme High-Speed back on Oct 18th, hoping to take advantage of the $200 Shopping Channel gift card. It's now Dec 15th and I haven't received anything yet. I called Rogers the other day and basically received the run around for about an hour: I was talking to one representative who put me on hold to check on it, and while on hold I got booted back to the main menu. Next I was talking to another representative who said they were going to transfer me to the eCare department responsible for the promotion, and I got forwarded back to the general internet inquiries line.

The representative I spoke to next realized I was getting fed up, and took my information and said she'd escalate my question herself, and call me back when she hears anything (which she said should be within 24 hours). It's now been about 2 days and I haven't heard anything.

The reason I'm quite angry over this is that I was contemplating leaving my then-current ISP (Aliant), and the prospect of the $200 gift card was enough to sway me to the Rogers side of the fence.

Does anyone have any tips that could help me get this issue resolved?

EDIT: I finally got a hold of someone at Rogers that took care of my problem. Apparently when their representative received my internet order, he/she neglected to fill in the promotion code. They gave me the option of either: A) Waiting for the gift card to be sent (4-5 weeks); or, B) Applying a $200 dollar credit on my account (towards my bill). I went with option B just to be done with it. While it took awhile to be resolved, it finally is.
