$50? That's pretty weak on Telus's part.

$50? That's pretty weak on Telus's part.

Why would it be weak? It is not on 3 yrs, you can get it on a cheap pay and talk as well. For 3 yrs you will get a $75 Banana Republic or Future Shop gift card.

$50? That's pretty weak on Telus's part.

I agree. These multi billion dollar life sucking companies throw us a chicken bone and hope we choke on it. How about a real deal for gods sake. I would love to see what the marketing boob at Telus could score w a $50 cert to ON.
A tshirt that shrinks before you get it home. It's these kind of slaps in the face that push me never to deal w Telus ever

[rupture]

As I recall, Rogers was offering $100 giftcards at Futureshop on 2yr activations.

If its true and you can get it on Pay and Talk activations, then I would say warm. But I doubt this is applicable to Pay and Talk.

They are giving that on 3 year as instant savings, not on the top of the price.

Come boxing day I'm sure you'll see $100 on 2yr activations.

Coupon is also valid for pay talk phones.
With a deal for Nokia your payandtalk phone
Nokia 6265i - refurbished
( $79 ) this deal is excellent - you also get a phone and $50 in talk time

[friendlyfriendss]

you can use it even with the refurbished Samsung A645, which cost $39.99 and includes $50 activation credit

m210 is a brand new phone, A645 is refurbished, m210 has longer warranty

I got an M210 as well. Spread the love I guess... Enter AXX as a promo code for 25% off accessories.

I agree. This deal is HOT for the simple reason that you can get this deal on Pay and Talk phones from Telus which are cheaper to buy than the same phone on a month to month basis from Telus. It would be weak if you had to sign a contract for 3 years to get this. Before calling something weak, think about it for a few minutes before generalizing.

Did you have such a bad experience with Telus that has made you so bitter towards this company? For some, this is a REAL deal.

[PARIAHGRINCH]

Don't worry Telus loves you

[friendlyfriendss]

What i always say, if you like the deal you take it, if not look for a better one.

[crony]

any one received the gift card??

"Valid while quantities last."??? what the heck is this? hope don't get screwed on this one.

so what's the cheapest phone available?

[gak]

so what's the cheapest phone available?

I just received and activated my refurbished Samsung A645 that I got for $39.95 + taxes. I activated my card and to my surprise it had $75 on it (I was expecting $50). I activated it online for $10, so I have $65 left. I also will get the $50 gift card from old Navy (after 30 days).

This phone is for my stepdaughter who will be here for about 3 weeks (she was overseas in University). I have her on the $2/day unlimited local incoming, early evening and weekend calling, and unlimited text messaging. So that'll eat up $42, so there's $23 left for all other calls not covered in the $2 plan (I don't think she'll use it up and have to top up). After that, I have no need for the phone any more.

Anyone else get the $75 credit?

never mine...found it :)

[soarlow]

wait... if you spend $40 on the samsung phone, get $50 Old Navy GC + $50/$75 credit.... how is that in any way a bad deal? am I missing something?

[soarlow]

also, how long does the credit last for??

[djpositivek]

Nevermind, I read the entire post. Online only.

[zwanzig]

the deal expires Dec 31st..

Will I still get the GC if I sign up now and activate the phone after Dec 31st?

[friendlyfriendss]

You'd better activate before Dec 31, if you look at all the promotions tend to end on Dec 31

[Beradon]

You'd better activate before Dec 31, if you look at all the promotions tend to end on Dec 31That would be pretty stupid for Visaperks and Telus to have such a requirement.

[djpositivek]

Thanks OP, ordered an m210 for my wife. Doesn't show anything about the old navy card on my confirmation e-mail but I did use the promo code and it showed up during the order process. I'll be activating before Dec. 31st and I hope to get the gift card after the 30 days.

"Valid while quantities last."??? what the heck is this? hope don't get screwed on this one.

I got my moms phone but no gift card.
I emailed their support team and they said :

"Please note that the gift cards will be sent out seperate from your phone order as we are currently waiting for more stock to arrive.Gift card will be sent out to you as soon as stock arrives.
Please advise that there is no ETA for the gift cards as of yet
Thank you
Telus Webstore
telusorders@omegadirect.com"

So we will see....at least i have a hardcopy of their offer to send it out when stock arrives....

The fact that my mom was hpoing to use the gift card for christmas shopping (pensioner) is another issue i will call them about......

Good Luck!

[jakeoh]

Anyone tried activating a phone online recently?

I get a

When did you activate the phone ? It says you only get the gift card after 30 days of activating I believe.

Yesterday. I just wanted to get confirmation from Telus that I am eligible for this $50.00 before they say this is no longer available.

The gift cards are not sent with the phone, they are sent separately min 30 days after the activation

[Beradon]

So if you give this as a gift and the recipient doesn't activate the phone until March 2008, does that mean you still receive the $50 Old Navy gift card in June?

[canadianguy_001]

what would qualify as a 'new' activation?

I just lost my old phone and bought the A645 Sammy to replace it.

I entered the promo code and it showed up in the cart but i'm not really expecting too much of it. Otherwise this would have been relatively hot.

$39 phone + $50 activation credit + $50 gift card...

I'm only on pay and talk so I might just get a new phone number if I have to.

[ozzydigital]

TX OP.

Ordered this phone for my parents as a X-mas gift.

Can't wrong with the extra $50 certificate that can be given as a gift. :)

FYI I ordered the Samsung m210. Looks like a decent basic phone.

Yes, it is a decent basic phone, looks quite nice actually. The GC prob won't arrive before x-mas.

[Beradon]

Who do you guys call to ask info on this gift certificate? Visaperks or Telus??

True it won't arrive in time but few birthdays coming up on feb and april :D

[bigneil]

Buy the pay and talk (prepaid) with no contract unlike rogers at FS
Referb samsung 39.99
- activation credit 50.00
- old navy card 50.00

you are up 60.00

:arrow: :arrow: then just ebay the phone
or give it to a telus person
in a contract with a broken phone

:lol:

[Best Men $ U]

Just enter VNavy on the promo code section...
if you want to email them... refer to my post at the top of this page and their address is there (the ones who handle the deal)

[fatpig]

So has anyone found out if you are still eligible for the gift card if you activate the phone after Dec. 31?

[chaq]

I called Telus today and they told me as long as the purchase is made online by midnight tonight (Dec 31), then the gift card will be sent as per the 30 days after activation.

[bql3001]

I bought a cellphone with this promotion and already received the handset couple of days ago. as everyboday said it comes without the old navy gift card

Now my girlfriend is also interested in this offer. But the problem is that she does not have a VISA card. So, does anybody know that is it possible she buy the handset by using my visa card. Is she still be eligible for this promotion if she buy the handset by using my visa card

:lol:

Thanks for all

[hugewallet]

is this deal still valid?

Anyone receive their GC yet?

I activated Christmas day and have yet to receive the gift card. I actually just sent them an e-mail to find out if it had shipped.

I activated on the 15th of December, so my 30 days is up. I'll give them a few more days.

Seems to be a third party company handling this Telus promotion. You can expect these kinds of delays and problems. Keep on them or else they'll conveniently 'forget'.

i just call telus, they tell me is 30 days "ouvrable" in dont know in english but i think its workday...so, weekend dont count and holydays too...so, it will be very very long...

I've called telus 4 times. It seems like they outsourced their calls to the call centre in the Philippines.

so...you did not get any answer? when? who? where?

I ordered my phone back in Oct and at the time the promotion was a Banana $50 gift card and I still haven`t gotten it.... I called Friday, wanting to see if I could change it to a futureshop card but couldn`t becuase they said it`s outsourced... arggg at this rate doubt i`ll ever get it...

[HyperTech]

i just call telus again, and tell them i tried their 866 phone number and emailed them about the 50$ old navy and never get any answer. They tell me to wait...and being patient. He told me it take from 4 to 6 weeks...its 7th week now, we starting the 8 week!

Telus service really s*cks, this offer is totally a scam. Never trust Telus's gift card deal or promotion.

[HyperTech]

its not just because its 50$, its because when they make "promotions" like that, they should honor it...

Supposedly no gift cards have been sent out, Futureshop or OLD NAVY.

yeah, i just reach them too, and they tell me that they did not receive the card from supplier yet, as soon they get the card, they will send it to us....i don't think we will get it.

[CSR]

Got this from them today:

Dear CSR,

the promotion you signed up for was eligible for new activation only. As you did a handset swap with the phone you are no longer eligible for this promotion.
Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Team Web Store

WTF, I had it activated for more than 30 days and gave the phone to someone else, now they want to back out of the promo.

[fatpig]

Did anyone get the gift card yet?

[HyperTech]

Still nothing here...look like its a scam, we got screwed. I hate that kind of bullsh_t!

[djpositivek]

That sucks. I'm pissed. One of the only reasons I ordered this phone. I activated mine on Christmas day, still nothing. Sound like some of you activated before that and nobody has said they received it. Scam. We should report them to the BBB. Only problem is I don't think there was any indication on my order that I was to get the gift card.

[FAQ]

activated on Dec 27 , still no GC received -- just fired off an email to customer service, see how it goes ...

[emchiasson]

Ditto on the missing card. Actually I had forgot about it so time to send off an email to customer service too!

[iluvmikeharris]

How about disputing the VISA credit card charge? Goods not fully delivered...that might get their arse in gear.

[tigrbalm]

I think for most of us it's too late to file a chargeback...I vowed never to go back to Telus and I was in real need of a cheap cell...fvck I hate Telus so much

[Beradon]

Telus should be held accountable for this scam.

[dough4you]

I actually did get my $50 gift card for Old Navy (it's actually 2x$25). I had forgotten about it, it took so damn long. I received it early last week (maybe around Feb 11 or possibly the week before that).

I think end of October, start of november. It's definately been over 2 months because the minutes it came with are gone (I never used them all up and I am not going to add more).

[marty5898]

I just received my Old Navy cards. (2 x 25) I activated my phone a couple of days before Christmas. Hope everyone gets theirs soon. BTW, it came by FedEx and had to be signed.

[chuu]

i just received mine today as well, i activated the phone on december 24th, so it took a really long time, it was delivered by fed ex and had overnight delivery. Its funny how they went all out on the delivery, maybe they think it'll make me feel better since the card is like 7 weeks late.

[Best Men $ U]

I received 2 $25 cards thru FedEx this morning.

I activated my phone a few weeks before Christmas.

I haven't even activated the phone yet..

I hope I will get it few months later after I activate it

Didn't you have to activate by Dec 31 to get the card?

Didn't you have to activate by Dec 31 to get the card?

I believe it was just "purchase before" Dec 31. You can activate any time, but they send the gift card a month or two after activation..

FINALLY got mine today, activated Dec. 12th

Got my gift cards today. Activated on Dec. 31.

What if Telus use Email to communicate with customer at first, that won't make customer confused.

Anyway, thanks.

I saw this deal is still available on the TELUS website until May31,08- for the $50 GC....so do I need to order a phone online? or can I go into a FS/BB and purchase the phone with my visa and call TELUS? They don't sell the phone I want (sam m210) as pay and talk anymore...any advice?

[wronguy]

You will have to buy it online and just to be sure use your visa card if you have one as it is a visa perk. I received my GC in 2 weeks of ordering the phone via fed ex

[soarlow]

Excuse my ignorance, but I took part in this offer last december, and got my Gift Card....

What I want to know is, is this deal still on? Can a friend of mine buy a phone now and still get a Gift card? Reason I ask is that this thread isn't in expired deals?

Edit: woops, I see the new expiry date...

[soarlow]

What's the cheapest phone option no contract available right now for this??

[CSR]

Received my gift card on friday.. overnight. Finally after a lot of complaining through email/phone. I deactivated after 43 days.

[wronguy]

I believe this deal is still on. the cheapest phones are $69 for pay and talk plus you get $50 activation credit. keep an eye out as I got a $50 samsung m200 making it essentially a free phone plus $50 old Navy GC
