Recently I wrote about iPhone SE 2 deal Visible was offering. At the time I had called it the “best iPhone SE 2 Deal”. They now have an iPhone 12 and 12 Pro deal and it isn’t disappointing.
The iPhone 12 starts at $840 (64 GB) and offers $100 prepaid Mastercard and Bose headphone. On the other hand, the iPhone 12 Pro starts at $1008 (128 GB) and offers $150 prepaid Mastercard and Bose headphone. The price difference after accounting for Mastercard is $118.
But nobody should buy the 64 GB iPhone 12, so when compare 128 GB iPhone 12 (cost $880) with base model 128 GB iPhone 12 (cost $1008) and account for Mastercard, the price difference is mere 78 bucks. I would say that is enough argument to not even consider iPhone 12 over iPhone 12 Pro but you do you.
The Bose headphone in question is Bose SoundLink around-ear wireless headphones II. Amazon has the listing price at $299 (its an affiliate link so thanks for clicking) while the listing with “limited time deal” is being sold for $159.

The Cost of Visible Service
Normal charge is $40/month but:
- First month you get $15 discount
- You can knock down the cost to $35/line, $30/line, or $25/line by joining a party of 2, 3 or 4 respectively. Many readers on Deal Tip channel have done this deal so you could hop in a party with them, alternatively you could also try r/VisiblePartyPay, a sub dedicated to finding you party. It is fairly easy to get into a party of 4, so you’re essentially paying $25/month.
American Express and Chase/BoA Discount
If you have an American Express Platinum card then you can knock off $20 off your monthly wireless bill. If I am not mistaken, the $20 wireless credit provided by Amex will also work on phone purchase through Visible.
Additionally, Chase and BoA are currently offering one time $35 credit for those who signup with Visible. I suspect this works with phone purchase so this should essentially be a $35 saving on whatever phone you choose to buy.
Closing Thoughts
Don’t forget to go through a portal on Visible.com purchase. The portals seems to pay relatively high rate (I was told Ebates was once paying 15 percent). Additionally, if you’ve a card with price protection then it might be worth putting the charge on that card over above discount eligible (see above) Amex, Chase, or BoA cards.
