Sam's Club has the iPhone 5 (16 GB) today for $127 with a 2 year contract. They are offering free activation for ATT customers. The location that I was at had the Verizon version for $127 as well but no mention of free activation. My store didn't have Sprint so I will go to a different location tomorrow to see if Sam's Club is offering free activation with Sprint.

How long will they be running the free activation? I can't get over there till tomorrow.
There you go. $127-$36.00-$24.72=$66.72... So, I purchased my Iphone5 for a total cost of $66.72
Hey if you recall I purchased my phone for $147 then the sale price dropped down to $127 for the IPHONE5. I got credit from Sam's for 21.50(20.00+$1.50tax). However, when i purchased Sam's InStore did not credit my upgrade fee. Because, i had to call ATT. When i purchased the phone, I was suppose to have a bonus ITUNE card for $24.72. So, on my sales receipt it shows I got a credit back for the ITUNE Card. However,the Sales person called the manager and they would not let me leave with it. So they threw it away... blahaha. Anyway, who knows the sales quy got himself a freebie ITUNE card. I just called called ATT and explain the upgrade fee should have been credited to my account. I asked regarding the purchase for my IPHONE5, if the ITUNE card was a BONUS. YES IT WAS!
So they credit my account $24.72 because of the situation. Maybe Sam's is not aware or the sales representative is scamming. So here it is I got my upgrade credit back for $36.00, bonus ITUNECard credit $ 24.72, and my discount on my accessories..
Just because Sam's is wholesale membership does not exclude any other discounts you can get from other places. Your best bet is to call customer service yourself at ATT ..
There you go. $127-$36.00-$24.72=$66.72... So, I purchased my Iphone5 for a total cost of $66.72

Do they allow you to keep your prior plans if you buy from them? I have an unlimited plan grandfathered in. If I buy from Amazon, for instance, I lose my old plan and have to purchase a new one.
