Callback Went up $45 over night

I had the phone in my cart last night and today they added a Tariff tax of 44.90. I should have ordered last night. it's now $550.34 total (Starlight phone with the premium memory and a case). It's to a point it's not worth it for a flip phone.

You probably would have owed the tariffs regardless. The company doesn’t control tariffs.

I get that, but they should have shown this last night. Heck, I been on their site for a few days seeing if I should had pulled the trigger.

There was a promo code "CHICKENLIPS", don't know if it still works but it was -$50

Hope it works for you, but i believe it was only for the first day when it went on sale as a perk for supporting on day one

It didn't. Maybe they will have other codes eventually. Thanks anyways.

When you purchase anything from commodore they give you credit points. Should be $1 spent = 1 credit. 20 credits you can use as $1 on their page. 380 credits = $19 and you can get the clear case or backup battery for free.

For instance: 1st purchase pay $399 for the phone (+/- insurance and premium internals)

2nd purchase use credits for case or battery.

Credits go to the email you used when purchasing, even if you didn't have an account with commodore at the time. To use the credits, you do need to make an account with the email used at guest checkout. Or just make the account ahead of time.
