Well they had about 6 gazillion orders to fill from their $300 price mistake. (Wish I would have seen that in time.)
And the other manufacturers have been speratic at getting any quantities out.

Just used one today. Returned the wireless access point I purchased 2 days ago and rebought it with the coupon. Not bad

this coupon is a jpeg of the one sent to "preferred" customers via snail mail. the coupon states that copies aren't allowed, so technically printing out a copy leaves you with an invalid coupon. if the best buy employees don't look closely it'll scan and go through fine.

Went to Best Buy today and was able to use the 10% off coupon!! It won't scan but the cashiers said that someone tried to use the same coupon earlier that day and they just made adjustments! So Cool! Thanks!!

This coupon sucks. Went to use it on a 9800 Pro today (actually found one in stock)... and they said I cannot because it's on sale $229 instead of $249.

The coupon said not available with any other coupons or offers... and she said a sale is an "offer." What kind of crap is that?

And who sells 9800 Pros for $249 anyway, not sure how $229 is a sale.

 

[Threader]

I used it today for the 9800pro. Did not automatically take 10% off. The cashier than took a second look at the coupon and I pointed out that it should work cause it is a card.

She didn't even care and just put in manually a 10% off herself on the register screen. Thankfully cause I drove 15 miles from my first BB that was OOS. To find the last one at this BB

looks like YMMV.

That's true, and BB claims to "not pricematch internet offers, including BestBuy.com". Granted, if the coupon is from BB, then technically it's not price-matching , but they might look at it that way.

But if it's a scan of a physical coupon, and that coupon says "no copies", then they do have the legitimate right to refuse a printed-out version in all cases. Tehnically that's fraud. (Who is to say that someone that got sent a single 10%-off coupon, won't scan and make 100 copies for themselves to use?)

As much as I dislike BB, I think that they are within their right to refuse to accept a printed-out copy of this. I think that the original thread post was more of a heads-up, to check your actual snail-mail, for those that are on the mailing list for these coupons.

Sure. Return the vid card and repurchase with the coupon.

It would probably be better to buy the new card with the coupon first, then return it with the old receipt.

I doubt you'd want to get hit with a 15% restocking fee on a $200 video card.

exactly what I was looking for...now I can get the new cell phone I want

My apologies, I just looked at the link, and it does look like it is a printable coupon. I just remember them mailing out physical coupons for this before, looks like they are doing both, as part of the promotion? The on-line one being printable, and the snail-mail version stating "no copies"? How confusing for BB CSRs to deal with. Again, sorry for the confusion.

 

[jdiddy]

THanks for sharing OP.

 

[Wolverine27]

bump^ for the last day.

 

[KJW]

I was shocked -- Best Buy credited me for 10% of the 9800 Pro I had purchased the weekend before. Sometimes, you just get lucky. . . .

 

[Andrax]

Nice post op. Unfortunately everyone in the area cleaned out the decent video cards before I made it in! Damn those hoarders!!!

Nice to hear stories where BB don't have money pinching tendencies

Good for you!

 

[starwarsunleashed]

Has anyone tried getting an iPod with this coupon?

 

[Conan]

Thanks. Got that Hoover vacuum my wife never wanted.

So I bought some ram on line last week and picked it up yesterday. Had to pay 4% tax for the on-line order. Returned it to re-buy with this coupon and tax was 8.5%. Any insight? I thought the rule was....if there is a B&M in your state, then you pay state tax...if no B&M, no tax. There is obviously a B&M in my state, so I expected the 8.5%, but I'm lost as to where the 4% came from....
