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 ) 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).

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.

Awwwwwwwww man . 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 ???

[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)

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

[Jusdem]

Here is the fine print...



Looks like NO CONTRACT is needed.

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.

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.

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
