Phone Upgrade

I decided to take the OBEX case back to Best Buy and wait for the Life Proof case to come out, hopefully it will be sooner than later. Since I was going back to Best Buy I decided to do some research and work on some price matching on the Galaxy S3 and boy oh boy did it work out for me and the old lady. I found the Galaxy S3 on Amazon Wireless for $99 so I went to the store and requested a price match, the manager on duty said it wouldn't be an issue matching the price so long as I did the following:

1. Go through the process of placing an order on Amazon(without actually purchasing the phone)
2. Confirm that the final price is lower than what I paid ($149.99 x 2)
3. Print the order and bring it back to Best Buy.

This morning during my lunch break I decided to get on Amazon and go through the entire process, it took about 10minutes but once I was done I had the page showing a final price of $59.99. Got home and picked up the old lady, we went back to Best Buy and luckily the Manager that gave me the instructions was the one that was helping us at the customer service counter. After showing the Manager the printout he says, "No problem" and proceeds to work on the price match. Fortunately, for us, their system was acting up and rather than making us wait he said, "well, I can only match what the computer shows", he prints the receipt showing the total discount and smiles. We ended up getting a total refund of $150 so basically we only paid the tax on one of the phones. Next: look for a price match on the Iphone 5
