I can't find that Staples coupon anywhere online. Is there any chance you could forward me that email with the coupon in it? PM me and I'll give you my email addy. Also, did OM give you any crap for PM'ing then using the coupon? Did they still give you the $100 rebate?

Okay, so I went to my local BB that?s in the area in which I live, but I?m not gonna to say where that area is because it?s a big secret and I don?t want anyone else to know so that they can also waste their time going to the Madison Hgts, MI store (DOH!). Anyway, there were no drives on the shelf, (big surprise), so I asked the friendly sales droid if they had any WD 120GB drives in stock. He asked me "Are you trying to price match?". I get the feeling that this is not going to go well. I said "Yes". He said that MC is out of stock and he could not sell me one. He also said that WD would not honor the rebate anyway since the final price would be less than $50 after rebate. I asked "Do you have any in stock?" He said that they had one left behind the counter, (could it be that he was saving the last one for himself?). Anyway, I said to myself "FI" and left the Madison Hgts, MI BB store (DDOOOOOHHHH!).

Ahh crap. Since that is the ONLY MC in MI, that sux it's OOS. Well, that saves me the trouble of running out to MH to get an ad. Maybe I'll get lucky and try OM since the "droids" there are seemingly more useless than than BB.

I called MC in Madison Heights today(9/17) and they said they would have the drives back in stock as of 7:30 PM that night. The drive shows up in stock at some other BB locations in the area. If anyone has success in MI please post it, Thanks

If you got rebate receipts, just send them in with the rebate as your receipt, that's what they're for.

They wouldn't give me the rebate slips from the register. I printed them from the website. But both forms I printed ask for a copy of the receipt so that's what I'm sending. It just sucks that the receipt states "WITH MATCH COMPETITOR PRICE" on it. I'm hoping that doesn't kill the rebate...

According to my rebate forms, the capacity label from the front of the box goes to Young America for the $100 rebate, and the UPC from the box goes to Calais ME for the $20 rebate.

Damn you guys, i went to the BB in san jose (the one near 85) and all they had left were 40/60/80 gig drives... guess i snoozed and lost... great deal for all you guys that got in on this, good luck with rebates.

 

[frankqfrank]

I went to Officemax and tried for the $50 after rebate deal. Got the pricematch and then when the rebate reciept printed out, the cashier looked surpirsed and looked it up and then said he couldn't give me the rebate receipt (I have the form and also the original register receipt, the one I signed for credit card.)

Is there anything preventing me from still getting the rebate? It just says to include a copy of the reciept, and I have one of those. It goes to Miami Florida, and is handled by rebateshq.com.

I'm going to return it if, A: I can do the pricematch at Best Buy, or B: Someone can't tell me with good reason why I will not get the $100 from OfficeMax just because the cashier kept the dinky little extra rebate receipt copy.

The only thing he could do is give it to his manager who may have the power to prevent a rebate for a receipt with my transaction number. Hmm... Any responses are appreciated.

This part I know. The question, however, is which barcode is the upc: a) the one by itself on the bottom of the box (white sticker), or b) the one on the bottom of the capacity label (part of a larger yellow and white sticker).

I don't want to give these guys any reason at all to reject my rebate, so I don't want to end up sending the wrong barcode as the upc.

It's actually quite a bit more than $50 difference because I don't see a CC rebate for this drive. You'd only be getting it for the $149 PM as far as I can see and that's quite a bit more than $29 + tax after rebates.

Sal

Umm... what I meant was, get Best Buy to pricematch Circuit City, which should a slightly more recognized chain than one that only has 19 stores in the whole country. Thus, you could get the 199.99 pricematch and 120 in rebates = 79.99, if the problem is that the manager has never heard of Microcenter and refuses to pricematch it for THAT reason, k?

Okay, this question is for everyone who has done an OfficeMax Rebate....

I did the OfficeMax deal since all the Best Buys in LA County and Orange County California are out of this drive. They handed me two receipts. One was a regular and the other was this little receipt that said "REBATE RECEIPT" that had my purchase information related to the drive on there. Now the actually rebate does not mention having to insert the rebate receipt. So my question is, do you always include that and a copy of the main receipt with your OfficeMax rebate??? This is a big rebate so I don't want to F__K it up.....Anyone please help because I have never bought stuff from OfficeMax.....

It's all part of the same label. The drive capacity label is the part that faces the front of the box, then there is a line and then a white part with the UPC that is on the bottom of the box. Cut along that line (which should fall on or near the box edge going from the front of the box to the bottom of the box).

which OM you have gone to? can you specify it?

 

[ChrisOjeda]

Oops...forgot to mention that the Office Max that did it for me was Baldwin Park, California. Though, you may wish to call and check stock because the one I got was the last one they had on the shelf. Good luck guys....

For all the rebates I've gone through, if provided with a "rebate receipt", I send only the rebate receipt and not the actual receipt. And this includes rebates from OM.

 

[Solema]

So which do you guys think is the safer bet in terms of the rebate actually going through? Best Buy or OfficeMax?

 

[Tr0LL]

Can you do both rebates to the same name/address? One $100 MIR for best buy and one $100 MIR for office max? or are they the same rebate since it's a WD Rebate?

Well...as I was waiting on hold at one BB, the stupid hold chatter they play told me that if you have lost your receipt, they can print you a new one if you paid by check or CC.

Since you're making a copy can't you just, um, use a little white-out on that "COMPETITOR" stuff before you copy it?

I have always just sent in the little "Rebate Receipt." Unfortunately in this case, they wouldn't give it to me, however I am not sure if I need it. I still have the original receipt. The onl thing I am afraid of is that the manager is able to contact someone who can prevent the rebate going through based on my transaction number.

 

[ChrisOjeda]

Guys thanks for the help so far with OfficeMax rebate questions but I got 1 more.......

With OfficeMax can you do the rebates online like with Staples? I know this is a manufactureres rebate, so please let me know if I can do this rebate online and also what the URL is...Thanks

Online Submission For $100 Rebate

 

[sak]

Ok for me it was as easy as 1 2 3... i walked into the best buy went to the dept. Without and print outs or anything. Got the drive...they had like 2-3 left. went to sales rep..who just happen to be the supervisor of the comp dept.

So i told him that microcenter is selling the drive for $150. He zipped out a card with Microcenters number. called them...verified that its was not a rebate price. wrote the price on their note pad thingi. $149.99... said thats a good deal and handed the drive to me....Man this is by far the best deal i have ever come across...

 

[schuang74]

Your best bet would be to buy it from Best Buy first at their retail price, and then go back with the Micro Center Store ad. They will match it and then discount you another 10% off the difference.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a Best Buy near them that still has this drive in stock?
