Walmart is having a deal where they will give you a $300 gift card with activation of an 8, 8 plus or an X

For sure Apple will NOT. Best luck is to try carriers, stores like Target, Walmart, Staples

T-Mobile has the BOGO deal but you need to open lines.

Walmart's deal with $300 gift card is the best one I have seen for the X but you need to call them before to make sure they have any in stock. Call tomorrow. Most Walmarts right now don't carry any X in stock. Only for AT&T and Verizon activations.

I would do Sam's Club but I'm not a member for it or Costco. My parents are for Costco but I don't want to drag them to it that day.

You can get a preowned iPhone 7 Plus through Virgin Mobile for $450 or preorder the iPhone X for $1000. If not you might see what sprint will sell you one cause I think there the same towers as virgin.

Best Buy also has had good deals in the past but for older models.

As I brought up a thread I started... does anyone know if I can "stack" deals? Would I be able to get the AT&T BOGO deal AND the Wal-Mart gift card?

This should work, as the two deals are offered by different companies; the gift card is a Wal-Mart offer that does not directly involve the carriers, and the BOGO deal is direct from AT&T, and only requires that you follow the protocol of the deal (1 upgrade, 1 new line, both on NEXT, and activated within 14 days of each other). It worked last year with the Target $300 gift cards, in case you’re looking for some evidence.

That is the exact thought I had as well! Thank you for your response!

Yup, I'm good with that. My son will be getting the new line of service, and I will hand down my 6s.

So does anyone know if the $300 gift card at Wal Mart can be used immediately to make the iPhone 8 price drop from $699 down to $399. Thanks

When you pay full price for iphone from virgin is it unlocked?

No it is not, and won't be until you've been using the phone on your Virgin Mobile account for 12-months.

https://www.virginmobileusa.com/legal#unlocking

"General Eligibility for Unlocking:
Virgin Mobile will assist with unlocking a device under the following circumstances:
  • The device has not been reported as lost or stolen or otherwise flagged as ineligible to be unlocked
  • The device has been active on the associated account for at least 12 months with the account active at that time"

can you pay full price or just pay it off for the Walmart deal after the first payment?

Did you return your iPhone X or you still have it?
