Confused about rebates when getting multiple phones/lines

Question

I'm confused about the rebates when getting a family plan and multiple phones. I want 3 lines. First, I qualify for a discount through my company, which I can get on the business side of the website. The thing is that on that side it will only give me the rebate on the phone that is on the primary line. The other 2 phones don't get them. But if I set it up under the personal side of the website, it gives me the rebates on all 3 lines. Of course then I don't get the service discount. What gives?

I know alot of guys at work requested it after they already had a contract with AT&T, but that was in the beginning when we first qualified for the discounts. So I'm not sure it would still work that way. At any rate, the rebates on the extra 2 phones far outweighs the business discount over the course of the 2 year contract.Yes. That's what I'm suggesting. And you can do the other, too 🙂 Just do it in the sequence that nets you the most and best discounts.

I think you need to do this in two steps. Get the business phone on the business side first. Then get the personal phones on the personal side.
