"Do you guys think there is any chance of being able to buy the 9242 from bell getting the new customer promotion that is just $399 instead of the $599??"
CanadaMan:
I successfully did what you were asking. My 9242 is being installed next Monday. I asked the simple question on the phone and they transfered me to the retention department.
I have ExpressVu, home phone, and internet from Bell. I told the CSR that I was a good customer and should be able to buy the 9242 at the new customer price. I was surprised when she agreed to discount my ExpressVu bill by $300.00 over the year. I didn't have to put up much fuss at all! She wouldn't charge me the lower price on the purchase but I clawed the 300.00 back in programming.
