*DEAD* - P4 2.53Ghz Processor, Intel D845PEBT2 Motherboard, and WinXP Pro for $175 - Retail Employees Only!

[ivwshane]

I think we are looking at a two return once we send out the form and the paycheck, after that it will be another couple of days to actually get the thing shipped out
Oh well, it's worth the wait.

 

[l31itz]

sounds like a great deal... but i dunno about the intel mobo

 

[Solema]

I read somewhere on there that the deal can be done anywhere between now and January or December (can't remember for sure). Does that mean I could get a part-time job at Best Buy any time between those dates and still get in on the deal? Or would I already have had to be an employee when the deal started?

 

[ivwshane]

It only states that they need a pay check dated no earlier than Oct. 1st.

 

[Solema]

What about a special code or something? Do I need to have a postcard with a code on it as well? I don't want to get this job and find out I need a postcard with a code on it that I can't get anymore.

Uh, you sent out a MO with the print out? Err.. you're supposed to wait for a verification code, you haven't even been approved yet. Suffice to say, I doubt you'll ever see that MO again.. this deal looks like it could get kinda expensive for you. :Q

 

[lbhskier37]

Does anyone know if being a supervisor at best buy would qualify? It says computers/software sales, or manager, but nothing about supervisor.

 

[hoxlund]

i though anyone who worked for best buy can do it?

unless you can prove me wrong, by telling me where you found that info

[lbhskier37]

[ROTC1983]

Yeah, Nate, I got the same email in the mail. Hopefully they will have it fixed by then....I can only hope..

 

[scornful]

Who knew having an aunt working at Wally World would come in handy??? But the ****ing store number isnt working...... WTF!!

 

[Zorro]

Has anyone heard from pc treasures with info on ordering.

 

[lbhskier37]

does anyone know if there is anyother way to verify your employment? I dont really like the idea of sending my check stub out to someone.

 

[hoxlund]

Again, i think it was mentioned already, but you have to work in the computer department in the store your at

i emailed intel myself, and asked since i worked in the merch department at best buy, they still said, don't waste your time applying for the deal

its not like i never sell intel products, i talk to customers all the time at best buy, ive even sold a few intel computers, well, now i know where my loyalties lay

 

[hoxlund]

you can black out your social #, pay rate, and other stuff, they mention that in the email they send you

 

[scornful]

You dont HAVE to be in the computer department...... my aunt's one of the managers and she's hookin me up heh

 

[hoxlund]

yeah you do, read the rules again, or you have to be a store manager, or manager of the computer department

 

[NateDiggity]

Yet again I quote what they replied to me...

Well, its 11/01/02 and guess what? They did fix the problem! They just took Wal-Mart off their list of retailers!
Thats right! I guess we shouldn't give a crap about any of the intel products we sell! either they could just care less about us or
they just couldn't figure out their store number problem. Either way it looks really bad for them to have done this.

 

[turbo__]

Yeah, they took Sam's Club out too.. I guess it was just too much work for them to enter all the store numbers. Its a real shame, didnt think they would cut corners like this.

 

[ROTC1983]

Yeah, I am pissed about that, too, I can't believe they took us out. That is soo unfair... Intel has lost me as a customer...

 

[scornful]

Do you guys check your email very often?? Hope this helps for all you Wally World peeps........
