Many 4G Phones will be FREE on Monday at Amazon

Well, unfortunately I found the answer myself!
If I currently receive a corporate employee discount with my cell phone contract, can I still upgrade it at AmazonWireless?
At this time, we are not able to process cell phone upgrade requests with employee discounts.
Oh well, glad I looked. Enjoy your free phones!

I went back and found your review. I think you're wrong about the camera, the Charge seems to have 8mp/1.3mp, same as TB. TB has the kickstand but Charge has HDMI out. The big advantage of the TB is the simultaneous data and voice on 3G, which could be useful since there is no 4G coverage in my area (I am about 45 minutes north of NYC and 4G is not up here yet, not sure when it will be since we are part of a 4G market and they only say when new markets will be added.
The biggest problems I have with the TB is the battery life and how it gets lower ratings than the Charge at Amazon and Verizon.

I'm pretty sure you are misinterpreting that. You can still get the discounted phone at Amazon. You will not get discounted corporate phone pricing from Amazon as you might on the provider's site. Your service plan discount will still apply.
Good question.
Just reading Amazon's stand on it, since my account has corporate discounts already on it, they won't be able to process it.
It's not worth it to me to go through the ordeal with Amazon, and "try" to get VZW to put the discounts back on, because if they won't do it, that's a significant chunk of change and I can see a miserable battle on my hands.

Hey the Charge is Not "Free"
Hey the Charge is Not "Free"
I don't think the promotion is in effect yet.

The discount is part of your account. Amazon should not be touching that. And you would not go back to Amazon to get the discount turned back on, you'd do it through the provider, IF the discount got taken off (which I doubt it will). Worst case you have 14 days to cancel the phone with Verizon and Amazon if you find out that you won't be able to keep the discount.
If Amazon decides not to process the order because of the corporate discount, they'll just cancel it.
BTW I am in the same situation.
Yea, you're right. Worst case scenario, if it goes through on Amazon, and the discounts come off and VZW can't put them back on, I simply send the phone back to Amazon and tell them to cancel my order.
It's worth a shot.
What about the other question I had earlier in this post regarding returns, if the phone has an issue. Would it get mailed back to Amazon or can I just go to a VZW store for help? I'm still reading all the "rules" and haven't come across that part yet.

It DEFINITELY goes back to Amazon. It's no different than if you bought from a non-Verizon retailer in your area. You return it where you bought it.
I read a post on another board from someone recently whose friend had tried to return a phone he bought from a non-Verizon retailer to Verizon. He alleged this was what he was told over the phone. He went to Verizon and was told to take it back to where he bought it and by the time he did that, he was a day past the 14 day cancellation penalty. Moral of the story: return it to the place you bought it and do not delay.

Yeah I was wrong about the camera situation.... :/
But as for the Charge and Revolution getting better reviews than the TB, they just came out like last week so the reviews haven't evened out per se. But @ Verizon's website, the Revolution and TB have the same general rating. The Charge is in a lot of ways arguably "the best" of the three, but it's the little things that decide it for people.. HDMI out capability, the SD card that comes with it, kickstand, camera, type of screen (TFT, AMOLED, etc), simultaneous voice and data on 3G, battery, I could go on and on, you get my point haha.

So anyone know how delivery for said phones works? I know it's free 2 day, but do I have to sign for it, like if I'm not home will they leave it at the door or is it USPS and would be in the mailbox?
Ok, I found it.

In-store returns
Items purchased from AmazonWireless cannot be returned to a physical store operated by the relevant wireless carrier.
So the downside is, God forbid, my phone isn't functional, I have to wait to send it back to Amazon. In essence though, a few years ago I had a phone die on me twice and I had to wait for insurance to send me a new one.
Only thing is, back then, I had a land line as well as my cell. Now my cell is my only phone.
GAH! What a headache!
I'm sleepy, lol.
