190993, Well, you could probably just not take the service discount.

>is there any way around this?

The retail price is $549. There's a $100 instant rebate, and $100 mail-in rebate, and a $150 discount with a two-year contract. So presumably you could still get the two rebates without the service contract, making the cost $349. If you'd save enough money on the SERO plan to make up for that, it might be worth it.

At any rate, I don't think anyone was ever optimistic enough to think they'd get a discount just for renewing a SERO plan. The whole point of these subsidies is to get people on the plans they want them to be on, and the SERO isn't among them.
