2021 iPad Pro Cellular $200 promotion
As reference: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-ipad/ipad-pro "Buy an iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular from Apple. Get $200 back from T-Mobile/Sprint. **" More detail: Tell me about the deal. For a limit...
ACTUALIZACIÓN: this whole experience turned into a massive fiasco.
Despite listing the 10GB plan cost at “Get 10GB for $30” on https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans, I was actually charged $47.17 on my T-Mobile bill -- with AutoPay enabled!
T-Mobile Customer Service is still clueless about the promotion described at https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-ipad/ipad-pro and attempts to use the promotion at https://promotions.t-mobile.com/ still result in a "Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again." message. No point in doing "Vuelve a intentar” since the promotion is unavailable.
I called and cancelled the tablet plan -- 50 minutes of my life I can never recover.
My 2¢ about this debacle: It seems that T-Mobile has been infected by the "customer no-service" culture that typified Sprint. This trend doesn't bode well for T-Mobile as a competitive disrupter in cellular or home internet service (another slow-rolling debacle of hyped marketing).
No response from T-Mobile. The biggest disappointment is that T-Mobile still doesn't educate their employees about these promotions, leading to speculation that the promos are fake when the problem is probably just management incompetence.
I had problems with a previous promotion several years ago, so shame on me for hoping T-Mobile had improved…
I plan to cancel the cellular service on the iPad.
