Magellan 330x GPS for at Staples B&M for $100 after MIR

[Clammy3]

Starting 12/16 Staples has the Magellan 330x GPS for $200 - $50 MIR - $20 MIR. Use $30 off $150 B&M coupon to get it down to $100. Alas, I don't think there is a current $40 off $200 B&M coupon, or the price could've been reduced to $90.

I picked the unit today in Maryland and the price is already reduced. They didn't have rebate forms, but online has both rebates.

This is a hot price, since those things usually sell for almost $300 according to Cnet listing. Even the discount places like Costco sell it for more than $200.

Which B&M in Maryland had the deal?

 

[Clammy3]

It is a nationwide deal (it is in the circular for week of 12/16). But, I picked mine up at Rockville store. I thought I would have to come later to adjust the price, but it looks like it is already reduced.

Thanks!! Just picked one up in Indiana. Marked $199.99 in store, used the 30 off 150. Both rebates request UPC, and state not valid with other offers. Any thoughts on these two problems?

snooze and lose

went to my local store, they had none, said the other store had 4.

went there, they had one left, another guy came in that day and got 3!

i got mine, but i wanted one more, oh well.

great deal.

edit: as far as rebates go, the $50 one goes to magellan, so send the original upc there, and copy to staples

$40 off $200

Typical Staples ploy, advertise something heavily when the stores in a major market only have 20 units to share among 2,000,000 residents.

Check out this post for a good deal at CostCo. Not quite as good a deal, but still good, and the local Costco B&M had a pallet-load of them (literally, a pallet load).

Awesome deal. Went to 2 local Staples store and picked up a couple of these. There aren't many of them around but you can find them if you try. I'm more of a Garmin fan but at this price they make excellent xmas presents.

$199 - $40off$200 - $50MIR - $20MIR = $90+tax for something worth $300.

Plus the package that staples is selling includes the US Street mapping software, a pc serial/car power adapter cable and a car cradle.

BIG Thanks.

How did you get them to use the 40 off 200 code, since there was no printable coupon ?

 

[maxcom]

yeah, what Branded said

 

[nynate]

Depends how ethical you are about these things but just take one of your printable coupons and edit it with the $40 of $200 code.

Online codes work in B&M Staples. Some people on the board have been lucky enough to get the staples person at the register to just enter the code with no printed coupon.

Just called my Staples in Beantown and they are in stock, but $299.95. Guess it was a limited time promo!

<< Just called my Staples in Beantown and they are in stock, but $299.95. Guess it was a limited time promo! >>



That is right! It is a limited time deal through 12/16-12/24. Print This out and take it to the B&M.

 

[nynate]

Its listed as $299 on the shelf but rings up at $199-

Don't forget the $40 off $200 to bring the whole price down to $90

 

[bluearchtop]

I can't find the$40 off printable.... Can't find the $30 off either.... Any URLs?

 

[StevoDaDevo]

Where do you get the $20 Staples rebate? Does it print at the register?

 

[Rally1]

have you shopped at staples before j/k

no, you can download it from the rebate section of their site, or they should have an in store form.

great deal if you can find one

 

[Fish4Bass]

Does anyone know off-hand of this unit is WAAS compatible? I have a feeling it is not, but would like to know for sure.

Thanks

 

[Rally1]

it is

not out of the box, unless you the newest model, but you can download the update from their site www.magellangps.com

link i figured if you are too lazy to look in the first place, you might be too lazy to cut and paste

 

[nynate]

Both units i bought were WAAS out of the box.

Its not as good as the Garmin GPSMAP 76 that i have but that cost me $350 and this one is $90. They make great xmas gifts

In response to the $40 coupon query, just edit the text of one of the printable $30 coupons to reflect the $40 code you can find at your favourite coupon site.

Instead of giving up IMMEDIATELY... Stop to THINK and realize that the first day of any In-Store SPECIAL usually results in stock "on-hand" being scarfed up. INSTEAD...try again Wednesday...when their Mid-Week deliveries occur and keep your fingers crossed!!!

 

[StevoDaDevo]

Anyone have a link to a PRINTABLE $30 off coupon?

 

[Rally1]

i don't think you'll find any mid week. I think they are clearing them out, esp. because they dont even have them on their site, so likely don't have them in any warehouse.

for the record I got the last one at my Staples near work today, so they are still out there, even in SoCal (the anandtechies capital of the world).

Now my Dad gets one for Xmas, and so do I .

And I used the $30 off coupon I got by email (not some photoshop fraud for $40 off).

PS other coupons are linked above.

 

[nynate]

Fraud in any form is not acceptable. You are the weakest link.
