We got a WAY better deal going through Best Buy. Plus Best Buy points, and Sprints customer service is not as good as Best Buy...Sprint would probably be nicer to a new customer, but they haven't done crap for us as a 17yr customer. So we buy from best buy.

I think you could do the Sprint lease thru Best Buy (still get the 50% off if a new customer or when adding a new line) and throw in the up to $700 trade in value. I dont know if Sprint has a trade in like Best Buy does (I know Samsung does), but over the last few years, Best Buy always seems like the way to go when getting a new phone. Now for launch day, I personally spent a long time in the store because I preordered the phone and Best Buy.com required me to call them and transfer my number, but other than that Best Buy is always the way to go.

It all comes down to how long you plan on owning your phone. With leases, you typically save money if you plan on upgrading after the first year. A lot of the time, if your rates after the first year go up (check the fine print) so if you keep your phone for the full two years, you end up spending more. I always recommend buying your phone at Best Buy since they still let you do the monthly installments over two years, which can be cheaper in the long run and allows for more options if you plan on keeping your phone for the full two years before upgrading.

If you lease, you never own the phone without a big payment at the end. I always purchase (with payments) and able to sell my old one at the end. I sold my Note 8 for $300

Best Buy is cheaper

Whatever Sprint offers, you can also get from Best Buy and more.. including better one on one customer service.. 
In addition, vs Sprint online or phone service, after completion, you walk out with phone and optional over-priced case and screen protector. Which truthfully, the prices we've been paying for these phones alone are crazy, can't wait for prices to become more reasonable. However, If you've cracked your phone screen in the past, most likely you'll crack your screen again, which in that case, the case and screen protector price is justified due to your/our occasional clumsy multitasking.

In our situation it was cheaper to do 24 months thru best buy rather than an 18 month "lease" w Sprint, because you then owe a significant portion after the 18 months.
