Book a Hotel Room, Bookit.com Will Give You a Blackberry

May 11, 2009 at 2:11 PM | by | Comments (5)

Yet another incentive to travel! (Besides, well, the trip.) Bookit.com is offering a free Blackberry (or other smartphone/music phone of your choice) if you book either a flight, hotel stay, travel package or car rental.

Valued up to $349, the offer does have one of those requisite two-year service agreement contract stipulations (upgrade and renewal options too) and you have to pay the $36 activation fee as well as sign up for a plan that's a minium of $39.99. Otherwise, it really lives up to the free and easy promise. It's an instant rebate with none of those mail-in rebate shenanigans.

To book you need to complete your hotel/flight/travel booking on Bookit.com. Then click the special "Free* Phone" link and follow the steps on the phone order page to get your phone.

Note: Blackberry is included and iPhone is not included in the offer.

deal?

promotion FAIL

Is there a cell phone company doesn't provide a free phone with a 2 year contract and activation?

Free phones

The free ones are almost never Blackberries or other smart phones. The one I got free for my mom last year was just a very basic Nokia. That actually sounds like a decent promotion.

A truly bad deal

Who would want to sign up for this two year plan with a carrier NOT of your choice?  

I saw it on bookit and other websites wrote about it previously. It accomplished their goal, but what a bunch of nothing.

dude, you're getting a blackberry

i agree with lyngay. it could be some crappy nokia but its a blackberry. although, i'm not saying this is the best deal around. if the stars and planets collide at exactly the right time and you just HAPPEN to need a blackberry and a hotel room, this deal is probably worth it for you.

also, i have a blackberry and mine was not free when i started the service last year. just saying....

it's F-R-E-E

My Blackberry was a few Ben Franklin's away from free when I got it and I had to sign a 2-year deal, so I would have greatly appreciated this deal. Drat.
