Did you know that Walmart was good for something besides mistreating their employees and cheap blocks of American cheese? Me neither, but a recent report shows them offering up some hot deals on an iPhone SE. The prices seem too good to be true. While we try not to think about the probable use of sweatshops, here are five things about the deal to distract you.
1. DISCOUNTS ON THE iPHONE SE AND MORE
Not only can you get $100 off all iPhones, but Walmart is even taking off $150 on all their Samsung smartphones like the Galaxy S7 and S6. How can the big box store afford to do all this? Well, like any good deal, there is a catch.
2. WALMART SAYS THERE IS A CATCH
In order to get this slick deal on your iPhone SE, you’re going to have to play along with Walmart on something. The discount is only valid for devices that are purchased in store and on Verizon, AT&T or Sprint plan. Here I was thinking they might actually be looking out for our best interests this time. Nope, looks like they just want more money.
3. $100 COMES IN THE FORM OF A DISCOUNT
$100 off! How awesome! Now you can use that cold, hard cash you saved at Walmart and put it to good use. Pay off some bills, buy that new video game you wanted or perhaps earn some karma and donate it to charity. Not so fast, Walmart will tell you just how to spend that discount. The $100 only comes in the form of a discount on your monthly payment.
4. DISCOUNTS LIKE THIS ARE RARE
Despite the overall sleaziness of this discount, consumers should be appreciative. It’s not every day you see an iPhone SE for $299. Discounts on brand new iPhones are certainly rare. Yes, the iPhone SE isn’t entirely a new phone, but for those looking for something a little portable, it’s a good option. You’ll have to take advantage of it soon, though. The deal is only offered for a limited time.
5. PROMOTION WILL RUN THROUGH END OF JUNE
If you’re the procrastinating type, make sure you get into gear for this deal. The cheap iPhone SE promotion will only run through the end of June. That gives you ample time to get it, but if you’re anything like me, you’re lazy and unmotivated. Don’t be like me. Get a cheap iPhone instead.
