Is the process of transferring over to prepaid/paying the tab balance time consuming or anything?
You theoretically could cancel just as one would with Koodo.
However, Virgin has an actual prepaid program and switching to prepaid ends your supertab contract just as cancelling would, but with the added potential bonuses of keeping the # and having an active SIM on prepaid (can always add minutes later)
The people discussing accounts & such are trying to login to both systems online for some reason (just to check I guess?)

Picked up one yesterday and cancelled today. Pretty painless. Had $55 in free GC's so I paid 99 cents for the phone. So $160 (Supertab with tax) - $100 GC - $25 referral = $35.99 for a GS II. Already unlocked and rooted.

Newbie
I went to look at this one and ended up getting the sansung galaxy W. It was not until I got home and looked it over that I saw that it looks like I will end up paying $49.99 for the phone as well as the tab. That is not what my credit cad receipt said so I am totally lost. My credit card receipt shows $199.00 - $199.00 so $0 charged to my credit card.
this is the deal I was to get

With up to $150 off the Koodo Tab. Tab reduced through phone usage. Some conditions apply. See in-store for details.

I just wanted to point out that if it's your first activation with BB, you'll also get a $5 rewardzone bonus for the mobile activation... so $30.99 total for you.

As far as I know, you only owe the TAB. When I got the W a couple months ago, I saw the $49.99 on the screen and asked about it. The rep told me it's technically $49.99 on Virgin's system and the additional $49.99 off (to make it $0) is discounted through BestBuy. I only had to pay the TAB on that activation, nothing more.

The APP doesn't find you a code, it unlocks your phone.
Check if it's unlock now by putting in a SIM card other than Bell or Virgin.

Hey guys, I went to BB this morning and they only had the $50 GC, so it would be: $50 + $150 Tab - $50GC = $150. Any ideas how I could get the $100 GC and the $30 BB Reward? Are there any screenshots of the site or flyer scans?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Used the app. Why would you buy a code? Once it's unlocked there's really no reason to even know the code.
