Our Verdict
They don’t sell gift cards from what I’ve seen. Not entirely sure how they exclude you from rebates (list of them found here), I suspect they will still work. I’ve looked into the thermostats before but in the end I decided it wasn’t worth the money, would love to hear other readers experiences who have the thermostats or other products.

Nest is cancelling a bunch of orders via AMEX. I just got this tip from someone at AMEX. So uncool.
Very disappointing if true.
I have both of these offers on my PRG, if I spend $250 would they both apply?
nvm read your link, should work. YAY
Came here with the same question. Thanks for commenting and replying to your own comment! Assume this is the link you were referring to: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/what-happens-when-you-have-two-active-amex-offers-for-the-same-store/
TL;DR, you can make one $249+ Nest purchase and get $90 back as a statement credit. Sweet!
has anyone resold these via these offers?
Super love my Nest thermostats. So many great features I love. We have our Nest thermostats hooked up to our Amazon Echos, too, so anywhere in the house we can just say “Alexa, turn the downstairs temperature to 72 degrees” and she complies (we also have Alexa set up for our indoor/outdoor lighting, sprinklers, etc.) When we leave the house the thermostats automatically go into Away mode to reduce energy usage and they use my phone location to know when I am coming home to automatically start cooling/heating the house. It’s also nice to be able to control the thermostats anywhere I am via phone.
Oh, and one feature I loved briefly before I got in a bit of trouble with the wife was the ability to set a 4 digit passcode to change the temperature.
It may behoove your readers to warn them about the dangers of connecting any IOT device to their home network. Most consumers are blissfully ignorant of the risk that exist when they connect a so called “smart” device to their network. For a real life example of what I mean, read this analysis of one security researchers monitoring of a DVR he connected to the internet and monitored; isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/An+Update+On+DVR+Malware+A+DVR+Torture+Chamber/22762/ Nest has in the past had vulnerabilities exploited on their older thermometers. It may not be in the news for their newest thermometers but you better believe, EVERY IOT device has vulnerabilities, waiting to be exploited.
All of our IoT devices are segmented off on a separate network than our computers and phones. There’s risk in introducing new devices but going with Nest is better than some of the lesser known brands who don’t focus on security at all.
Thanks for all the feedback, seems a bit of a mixed bag. Probably not worth it for me at this stage but will keep it in mind for future.
We just recently purchased a couple Nest cameras, and they are WAY better than the Foscams we had. We are very happy with them. We will be signing up for the Nest subscription and will pay annually in order to save money and hopefully trigger this offer. Anyone try this yet?
TLDR; I concur, to me it was an expensive toy, and I probably wouldn’t buy a smart thermostat again – and even less likely for a Nest.
Background: I have a Nest – 3+ years old. My apartment at the time had poor circulation, and Texas weather would sometimes request heating and cooling the same day. Long story short, worked great to on demand change temps from my bed, which was what I bought it for.
As a single person living alone, the “smart” mode constantly turned it off when I was home, so I just disabled it. I basically felt I paid a few $100 to create a new problem for myself.
After moving I waited about a year, and re-installed it (to get a rebate from city of austin – which initially didn’t exist when I purchased it, but was per custom and could use any device not previously registered). Long story medium, I now own a laser thermometer and confirmed the unit overheats when connected to WiFi (aka always) and get internal inaccurate temp readings. Surface temp was like 95 degrees on one corner and 75 on the others. I never attempted trying to get a replacement from nest, esp since it was so old, and I really didn’t find enough value in it to begin with.
I have a Nest 2nd generation thermostat purchased for 10% less that full retail at Home Depot. About 19 months into the ownership, the internal battery failed to hold a charge. It is powered and maintained by feed off the furnace/AC system. Working via Live Chat, Nest tech support worked with me, but decided it needed to be replaced. Still covered by a two year warranty, Nest replaced it paying the shipping charges including return of the problem unit.
Overall, I like the ability to adjust it without getting out of my chair. Last month, I used about 300 KW less than the previous year. Given the newer fee structure for electricity here, that is a significant savings.
I made the choice to get the Nest 2nd generation thermostat instead of the newer generation 3. The major benefit of the later version is 5 GH WiFi. There are a few other bells and whistles. Compare the cost of the unit you are considering elsewhere before making this purchase.
Installing is not that difficult provided your current system follows the industry color coded wires. Inspect your current thermostat wiring in advance.See if your thermostat unit follows the color code and how may wires are involved.
DoC! I was skeptical at first about these thermostats before for a long time. But i bit the bullet and installed Ecobee’s in my house in April of this year and my local power company had a $100 dollar rebate for each thermostat i was replacing. But overall i can confirm that my power bill has gone down by an average of 15-20% since i installed these. I compared my latest bills with last few years just to check and they have never been this low. So these definitely help out to a certain extent. I favor ecobee’s over nest because of remote sensors which you can place in certain rooms.
