Best Buy drops the price of the iPhone 5C just two weeks after launch

When offering a product that is hard to find most retailers would increase the price to meet demand. Their statement seems to completely contradict this established marketing strategy.

So wait... does this mean that you can purchase it for $50 AND get a $50 gift card to BestBuy? Essentially making the phone free?

Or... is this a deal where you can use the $50 gift card to essentially pay only $50 for the phone, but the pre-purchase cost is still the normal $99?

I looked up the site and this news is completely wrong.

Samsung mobiles are $49 on a 2 year contract and you get a $50 gift card.

The apple 5c 16gig phones are $99 2 year contract and a $50 gift card so you could make the phone $49 for the first month.

These seem to be on a at&t plan only as well.

Whereas the 5c 32gig $199 are on a sprint plan for $49 a month.

You get a gift card with these phone it could be a special price if you use their credit card I guess.

The samsung phone have been dropped to $49 a month on most phones and still get a $50 gift card.
