I've found the offer to be rather poor, as you have to buy the handset and service plan via the OnePass mall link. When I was in the market for a new phone, Amazon was offering a far better deal. I ended up going through Amazon (though I chose a different carrier-- Sprint PCS).

- handset was $100 lower than other places
- Amazon offered same $50 rebate as Sprint store
- additionally, Amazon offered its own $100 rebate
- used milepoint.com for 5% gift certificate savings (saved an extra $20)
- used coupon code from Deal Catcher for an extra discount (it was $35, I think)
- free shipping at Amazon (they tell you its economy, but it seems to always be upgraded-- in this case to two-day FedEx)
- received around 5,000 UAL Mileage Plus miles from Sprint PCS (America West Flight Fund, Alaska Mileage Plan, and US Airways Dividend Miles are also partners)

Had I purchased a T-Mobile handset & plan from Amazon, the savings differential would have been similar.
