eWeek is reporting that Best Buy is offering customers an instant rebate with the purchase of a new Motorola Droid and a 2-year Verizon contract. Verizon is offering the $100 rebate to make the pricing of the new Droid phone competitive with the offering from AT&T for the iPhone. Rebates will be issued in the form of a pre-paid debit card that you would still have had to wait several weeks for. Best Buy is hoping to incentivize potential customers by giving you the rebate on the spot.
Thanksgiving and Black Friday are right around the corner and customers will certainly be looking at the Droid as a potential gift for family members, significant others, or even friends. Best Buy’s move is a nice perk that could lure consumers to buy from them instead of Verizon as we hurdle toward the holiday season.
