[FreshPrince]

Has anybody had problems with Staples online rebate submissions?

The mailing address is different than from the ones listed on the rebate coupons given out by the stores (Coppell, Texas rather than McAllen, Texas), and I wonder if this ever causes delay or confusion.

lol....new and improved trend here so I do believe information is being stifled and I will not post in threads with this taking place in them i.e. Rebate tracking has this new and improved operation as well.

Can the AMEX STUDENT BLUE be used for pricematching like the regular AMEX BLUE. If anyone has done this with success please confirm with a reply.

Thanks.

 

[l31itz]

thanks EliteForces for posting the abbreviations!

 

[TakedownCA]

I remember before I got my AmEx Blue I read the descriptions of both Blue and Blue for Students. According to that you can't pricematch using Blue for Students. Hope that helps.

 

[udonoogen]

how do you pricematch something using amex blue? can you pricematch b&m stores like best buy with online vendors you find on pricewatch? i'd like to do this cuz a lot of pricewatch people are kinda shady.

How do you use ebates and then be able to use click through discounts? For example, I use ebates for 4% at OM then will like to use the $25 off $100. How do I combine the two?

Thanks!

 

[lsman]

udonoogen,
yes, but you need to printout the webpage and fax to them. They required date (since most webpage do not have) The date of printing may work, some CSR accept, some do not. You can also email them the web site page. But i hear it take long time and the price on web page change more quicker.
doinmybestatlast,
click on those coupon link first and put all the product, log in your account.
Without closing the first, click on ebates's link to open a new window. Log in your account and process your order there.

How do you pricematch PhotoAlley.com? A bunch of people got an insanely good deal on a the Canon ZR-20 which I'd love to partake in.

Post can be seen here if interested: Here!

I called them and they say they've never offered pricematching before. I'm totally confused! Thanks to anyone who offers insight.

AMEX Paltinum vs AMEX Blue - I've seen all the posts about AMEX price matching. What about AMEX Paltinum ? I have the Costoc Rebate version of AMEX Platinum and would like to use it insteaf of Blue .

 

[lsman]

as far as i see in the AMEX web site, no mention of Best Value Guarantee (BVG) for the costco card. However, in the BVG page, it only said AMEX card, no mention of what card... call 18005578317 for info.

 

[BoBoB]

I talked to 5 CSRs in the last 2 days. Every single one has told me that they do not accept internet prices for pircematching, although every single one said "I don't know" when I asked if it was a brand new policy.

???

Two topics in this post:

1. Do Office Max and Office Depot accept Staples coupons? If so, even $10 off $10 ones? And ones printed from online scans?

2. Doesn't Amex require the price match page you send them to be dated? If you print it from a browser, the browser will date it in the header or footer, but if you email them an attached web page, it won't be dated. Will it work?

 

[Kenji4861]

I have a question about sites like odessaexp.. something like that and gpscomputer.com. They are known to not send their stuff, but they have the best prices and they sound like a legit business. Will I be able to go to Fry's or Staples to pricematch with them?

 

[iluvdeal]

Does anyone know if its possible to do an Amex Blue pricematch with an overseas company? It's that time of year again and I am buying textbooks. This UK store has the book I want about $40 cheaper than the price I bought it for at my school's bookstore. But it will take about 6 weeks for them to get it in stock and I can't wait that long. Will the different currencies present any problem? Thanks.
