Blistering hot!!! Netgear MR314 Wireless router $44 or $14 @ Staples 11/10 - 11/16

[riznick]

from riznick @ FW

Compusa has the router for $99 before rebates.

On November 10th, Staples has it in its weekly ad.
Staples will have the router for $149 before rebates with a $50 MIR

Pricematch compusa to Staples and pick it up for
$94 - $50 MIR = $44

Add a $30 off $100 coupon and $6 worth of stuff and get the router for $14
Add a $20 off $100 coupon and $6 worth of stuff and get the router for $24
Add a $10 off $50 coupon and get the router for $34

----------
I ordered the router and some paper.
Price matched the router, and added the $30 coupon
I got the router for $14 + tax after rebate basically...

If you for some reason can not use the coupon, then $44 is still smoking hot

 

[jimmyjam]

any details on the $50 rebate? netgear has a $30 rebate so if the $50 rebate is from staples this could get even hotter? or is the $50 actually $30 from netgear and $20 from staples?

it's def YMMY... i have haad had times PM in staples while they have rebates

 

[LordThing]

Need one of these. Will try later. Please report back if the PM works.

 

[riznick]

The PM will work. There are many stores that have this router for around $100 bucks.


YMMV on the coupons though.

 

[Spendthrift]

an 802.11a pcmcia card wont work with this router will it? just need some clarification. thanx

 

[gotsmack]

I thought you couldn't use a coupon code with a pricematch?

 

[scarfase99]

will a B&M take a coupon code we give them?? is it for online only? is there any place online that has free next day shipping that we can PM to so that we can do this online?

 

[icantiwont]

I don't think pm will work with rebate. They will claim that after rebate you're getting it for roughly the same price.
I tried pm with rebate before at my local staples and they didn't let me have it. good luck to those who try.

 

[riznick]

no, this wont work with 802.11a
it will only work with 802.11b

 

[riznick]

We are not pricematching a rebate. Staples will give a 110% pricematch as long as the competitor store
has it for less without mail in rebate. It doesnt matter whether staples has a mail in rebate on it or not.

If compusa has a $30 rebate. Staples wont pricematch the $30.

Only if you get a clerk or CSR who doesn't know Staples policies.

From Staples Price Match policy:
"Available coupons and rebates will be deducted from the Staples price to come up with a net Staples price when calculating the price match. For example,if you buy an item from us for $100, and we offer a $20 rebate, the net price is $80 . If the item is available from another company for $80 or more, there will be no price match. Another example would be if you buy an item from us for $159 and you have a $30 coupon the net price is $129. If the item is available from another company for $125, the price match will be for $4.40 (110% of the difference). "


Link to the pdf $30 Netgear rebate valid from 11/01-01/05 requiring original UPC and saying "This offer cannot be combined with any other Netgear rebate offers."

If the Compusa price has no rebates, then simply buy the router, use a coupon, go back later for the PM.

 

[OzzieGT]

Does the Staples rebate require original UPC? If not, you can do 150-$50 MIR (staples)-$30 MIR (netgear)-$30 (off $100) and still get it for $40 without PM...

 

[Tung]

nice deal.. PM with rebate is not easy.. now we have the coupon. That will be impossible.

 

[riznick]

I just called staples and got excellent service. I got the PM and used the $30 coupon.
My price after rebate will be $14. Sweet!

1-800-333-3330
I ordered the Price matched router, and added $5 worth of paper
Then I used the $30 off coupon, no problem.

$14 is Blistering Hot
$44 is still Smoking hot for this router...

 

[scarfase99]

just got rejected twice saying that Staples price is $79.98 :-(

 

[may]

Really depend on your luck. I called in the morning and get approved immediately. The CSR knew what I would do after I gave him the item number..

 

[scarfase99]

third times a charm!! Now, does anyone know for sure if we can use a copy of UPC for the Staples $50 rebate so we can use the original for the $30 Netgear?

 

[daMachine]

Yeah, no problem with the PM here. Ordered online early this morning, and called in to PM this afternoon. As soon as I gave her my order number she knew what, where, and the amount I wanted to PM to. Went through w/o a problem.

1. The MIC (Manager in Charge) at my local Staples assured me that Staples would accept a reproduction of the UPC in the case multiple rebates were available.

2. She could not confirm that this was a Staples only rebate, but the mail in address makes it look like a Staples rebate - I should be able to get the Netgear rebate.

3. If my total exceeded $150, I could send away for a $20 gift check, so I picked on a work related (therefore reimbursable) mini optical travel mouse and a binder for the wife.

4. Local Staples would not price match. Showed me policy that illustrated with their rebates, their price would be $79.

5. I pressed at the register for using the coupon code ($30 off), the cashier fussed and the manager said no. If I could document that I was sent that code by bringing in the email or certificate, I could come back later with my receipt and they'd give the $30 off, but they would not apply it based on a just a number.

I promptly dropped the $20 gift check offer in the mail (wife requirement) and then, disappointed with the in-store experience, checked the web site to see if I could do better. I could do the $30 off. I'm now at $99.99 now. The $50 Staples rebate would drop it to $49.99 and the $30 Netgear rebate would bring it to $19.99. I'm going to return the store bought device. Unfortunately, I don't have time to pester the USPS to retreive the $20 gift check give away from the corner mail boc

 

[Eminem2k1]

what would i need for this to work with a Desktop?

 

[iluvdeal]

It has ethernet ports so if your desktop is close enough, you just need a NIC and network cable. If you want wireless, you can get either a wrireless receiver PCI card or wireless USB adapter. I'd opt for the latter as it's more flexible, you can also use it to connect a laptop for example.

 

[OzzieGT]

I called staples....THE ORIGINAL UPC CODE IS REQUIRED FOR THE $50 REBATE...this means no $30 rebate on top of the $50. Also, they have dropped the price to $129 before rebate.
