Ever since the EVO came out, Sprint is a total new company with the “freebies”. Currently, there are very little “freebies” you can get from “Retention” aka Account Services. As always, be courteous and stand your ground.
However, here’s the complete list of Current Sprint Retention available discounts as of June 23rd 2010:
There is no one way to get these offers. It’s simply talking to the right Retention CSR (aka Account Services).
If you rather not talk to Retention, try emailing them or Echat by logging into your account. Simply tell them “My friends have this “offer…..” , I was wondering if I could get the same for being a loyal Sprint customer.” You do it enough time, you will eventually find a Sprint CSR to give it to you if it’s available.
Dial *2, then 5, then 6 to get to Retention
Direct phone numbers for Account Services:
1-800-639-6111
1-877-775-4886
Sprint Executive Services

Cash Credit Bonus
$70 credit per line – always good for renewing your line, and it doesn’t effect the $150 upgrade no matter what CSR might tell you.
$50 one time courtesy credit – good for getting an additional line or whatever issues you might have with Sprint.
You might be able to get $50 credit by using the SAVE50 code by emailing them later because of new line of activation.
$10-24, $20/24 – it might be possible to still get this offer for $20 per month for 24 months if you can talk to the Manager. Only the manager from Account Services can get this to you.
$25 Goodwill Credit for Activation of a New Line - You need to talk on the phone with the CSR from the activation department
$36 activation fee waived - Call Account Services after you see this on your first bill for new activation. Tell them you see it online for free activation, but now it’s showing on your bill and you want to take it off.

Free Airave
Tell them you have no usable service at home and there is no signal. You were interested in the airave but the cost too much. You have a “friend” having the same issue and was offered the airave free. Can I get it too?
$100 Rebate Bonus – Try to get your phone from Best Buy or Direct Sprint Seller from your company. Usually, there is no mail in rebate and you pay it straight up unlike from sprint.com website. However, just send in your rebate anyway to stack on top of it since it won’t cost anything. So far, it has work for me every time. You can google sprint rebate form to get the latest form.
Line 6 to 10 on a Family Plan
You could also add a 6th line to your family plan even though the limit is 5 line per family plan if you talk to the right CSR. Best chance is if you have a separate line and they are afraid of losing you, hence they will add on to your family plan to make it a 6th line.
Corporate Discounts
Call them and tell them your company you work for to get % off your bill. Company such as Citi and Chase get 27% discount off their monthly bill. You could also check it here http://www.evpdiscount.com/

I found to get $50 credit is to online order process but before finally submitting it cancel the order. It comes back with an offer if you do not cancel.
I got the $2.50 for Unlimited Data Pack a few days ago BEFORE reading this. An in store sprint rep screwed up my brothers line on our family shared plan. My brother’s line had power vision data services for free and the store rep sold him a phone that was not power vision compatible. The rep failed to mentioned this to my brother or the rep just did not know. The free data pack was removed from his line in order to make the non power vision phone work without my brother being told this. I was pissed and threatened to cancel since my brother specifically asked the rep and the rep reassured him that the plan would stay the same and that he would get all the same services would continue. I called to cancellation line or retention line as mentioned above and explained the situation and was offered to put data back on his line for $2.50/month instead of free. I was still a bit annnoyed that they claimed that they could not just put it back the way it was before but I was okay with it. I got a followup call about the issue later on and then reexplained and was given a $30 service credit to cover the $2.50/month charge for 1 year, which is also the remainder of my brother’s line.
I hope you realize Sprint is BANNING people from Sprint for using corporate discounts they are not entitled to. They have started a system wide audit and are requiring those accounts in question to verify employment by faxing them a current pay stub (and they give you 3 days to do it). If you cannot provide it, they will cancel your account and ban you for life from ever signing up with Sprint again.
Yes Marcia, I know that. Whether you take up on the offer is up to you. The audit is random, so hey whatever. If they cancel, then you just got a free phone with no ETF fee. Sign up again with one of your family members.
20/24=Nope
3/24= Nu-uh
70.00 credit per line, nope
1.00 and 7.50 text plans are GONE too…
this is all outdated information.
Just try being a good customer, pay your bills on time, you will get more. The rebate thing…they do random account audits and you will be caught.
Everything else is now out-dated. The babies who call in for everything are the ones most likely to have their account audited. the good customers who rarely call in are usually left alone.
I called retention tonight and I can comfirm that they are offering practically nothing. No credits off monthly bill whatsoever. No additional discounts toward a new phone. After speaking to manager, the only thing I was offered was a $70 credit. Very disappointing since I’ve been with Sprint for like 7 years now, only upgrading plans/phone twice, so it’s not like I’m hitting them up for free stuff all the time. I still rock a Razor phone! My brother just renewed with Verizon and he got 2 Droids for 50 bucks…maybe time to look elsewhere.
Robert,
That’s what I’m saying. It’s very difficult to get
Sprint “freebies.” Even the above ones listed above are very difficult. You got the $70 credit is even tough.
If you want monthly % off your bill, try the 25% method I wrote about a few posts down.
If I use the cusaver do I have to buy the phone and plan there? Or can I buy a phone/plan at a retailer and get the cu discount after?
buy the phone/plan wherever, then do the CU discount afterward.
If I use the Sprint SERP Plan by the email and employee id # you provided, would I be subjected into proving that i was really referred by the employee later on?…In other words is this illegal?
Haile,
All I know is thousands and hundred of thousands of people have use that email/employee #. I would have guess Sprint purposely release it out. Many forums and sites have put it out there. If Sprint want to close that loophole, they would have done it a few years ago.
Just found this blog … thank you! I’m always SlickDealing, so I just had to call in and try for the $70 credit today (just renewed my service when the EVO came out). The rep told me should couldn’t find that credit as being available for my account, but asked me to hold on because she thought I might be eligible for a different credit. After a few seconds, she said, “Here it is. Looks like you’re eligible for a MSC credit of $129.99 if you would like.”
If I would like? Heck yeah, lady! Put me down for one pronto!
She explained it was basically just their “1 Month Free Service” promo credit. I’m not 100% positive she said “MSC” credit the first time or not, but that would make sense if it stood for “Monthly Service Credit,” perhaps.
My actual credit only ended up being $97.49 since I’m getting the Cox 25% employee credit already, and the promo is for one free month of whatever you actually pay. But still! Very nice of her to look and offer that for me. So let’s see … I paid $170 no tax and free shipping for my EVO with Wirefly, got $50 Bing cashback, and just got a $97.49 service credit for a service I was using anyway. Grand out-of-pocket total for upgrading my Sprint Mogul to an EVO? $22.51.
I love slickdealin’. =D Thanks for the tip, HMB!

In regards to sending in the rebate form after buying from a retailer who gives an instant discount – do you still include your original receipt/packing slip? Or do you just leave that part out? I can’t imagine they’d honor my rebate if I sent in a receipt for $170 on an EVO from Wirefly.
Thanks, Can you update the phone # and new deals Sprint is offering now? Thanks!!
Is there any new deals anyone got recently from sprint /freesee stuff?
is there anyway i can add 6th line in my account, i called couple times spoke to different account service manager’s but they said they cant offer me that its only 5 max lines, please help me if anyone know whats the solution
It’s pretty difficult although not entirely impossible. Kinda like a hit or miss type with certain CSR. I hear you really have to follow through the threat of canceling your lines. YMMV.
i was wondering if there are nay latest updates on these because these have expired according to the guy i talked to. these are really great deals but the guy just wouldnt listen and said they expired
did i make a mistake in approaching this or have these truly expired
For all the winning babies trying to get something for nothing-go to Verizon or ATT so you can pay more and have caps on data. Yeah you may get a Droid for 50bucks, but over the course of two years you may as well have bought the phone outright. To people complaining about an additional 70bucks you were offered off a phone-go whine to Verizon and let’s see what you get. Realize that the minute you call, the rep has already seen your history of courtesy credits and how often you call.
Sprint made me mad with the premier plans. They denied me my upgrade and everything. I switched to verizon that day. In the mean time, i was debating cancellation fees. when i signed my contract, i was told i would get an upgrade every year. That changed of corse. 35 interactions within 1 week. i got a call from sprint one morning asking how we can resolve this. well i got an htc thunderbolt so i was really happy. i told them its almost impossible to make me want to switch back. this is what they offered me…
my upgrade (evo)
cancellation fees waived
a free Samsung galaxy tab
and free data on that line for 2 years.
my total value of that phone call came up to $2500. the nice thing is it was within 2 weeks of me signing with verizon soo i got my full refund. but honestly i will be back to verizon after my two years is up.
my upgrade (evo)
cancellation fees waived –always waived if you come back in 45 days
a free Samsung galaxy tab – if we find out who did it they will be fired -
and free data on that line for 2 years.- data is included in the plans already. unlike verizon where you have to pay 29.99 to add.

Hey Dustin, can you tell me exactly how you got the Samsung Galaxy tab for free? Thanks_
Okay, so I am able to upgrade tomorrow and I was wandering if I sould upgrade before I try some of these or wait. I already have a 20% employee discount so I was wandering if other discounts like ths cusaver and loyality discounts are stackable with that? Thanks!
i work in acct services, there are almost no offers available at the moment, if you plan to renew call us before and let us know u want to cancel, we can offer you 1 free month of service or if you have a data 1500 plan we can adjust in the next bill 100dls off, the 6th line cant be added by anyone, even though someone could do this we get reported because of this.
