NEW - Brands for less $29 off $79!!!!

LubeDog · Sep 28, 2000

4 days only....valid through Oct 1st!!!
"1. Make a minimum merchandise purchase of $79 at BrandsForLess.com. Minimum purchase must total $79 US, on one order from a single store after coupons or other promotional discounts (except mail-in manufacturer rebates) and before shipping, handling and sales tax. Rebates do not apply to gift certificate purchases and pre-orders. Please remember to write down your order confirmation number or print a copy of your order confirmation page."
http://brandsforless.com/shop_promo.asp

NOTE: Since it's not valid on pre-orders, they can count me out on DVD's...I already bought everything current that I wanted. DAMN!

Combine with 800.com $20 off $100 coupon for a good deal! $100-$20=$80 which is more than $79 (for those who suck at math )

Remember....FREE SHIPPING on orders over $50 too!!!!

Nitz · Sep 28, 2000

Damn, you guys got that up there before I could even announce it!

I'm sure there will be questions on this one, so I'll try to head them off at the pass:
1. Quantity of rebates. There are 500 rebates available, and they will go quickly with this deal. When they have all been used, ECS (the owners of BFL) will take the rebate page down. Therefore, you should check to make sure the rebate page is still there before you shop. In fact, you actually have to click through to the store from the rebate page to make sure you get your rebate. In the event that you are unlucky enough to have the page be down when you get done shopping, BFL has always honored those rebates since they can see the time the purchase was made and therefore know that you qualify.

2. Combining rebates: LubeDog's deal DOES work, so that's sweet! When you're combining multiple rebates like this though, make sure the price you pay at checkout, before shipping or tax, is at least $79, or you don't qualify for the rebate.

3. Check out the page in my sig file for a more extensive FAQ and links to additional deals at ECS sites.

Anyone find any good stuff?

RossMAN · Sep 28, 2000

Weird when I click free shipping at the BFL site it brings me to the $29 off $79 form instead of free shipping.

LubeDog - Thanks for the 800.com now I just have to find something for $100, any ideas?

Also remember the free shipping is up to a maximum of $20 shipping costs, just in case any of you plan on buying any large home electronics.

Floyd · Sep 28, 2000

Drat, no Computers4Sure.

Cybordolphin · Sep 28, 2000

C'mon Nitz.... can't we get them to budge/fudge on the pre-release DVD's...... Sure could use some new DVD's.

barebottoms · Sep 28, 2000

I see Computers4Sure Here .
Is there a list I'm missing?

broadwayblue · Sep 28, 2000

Floyd...where does it say you can't buy from computers4sure? They are listed.

broadwayblue · Sep 28, 2000

are there any existing coupons available for computers4sure we could combine with the $29 off?

Calagar · Sep 28, 2000

That's right. No Computers4sure. At the bottom is the fine print that says:

Purchases made at the following merchants do not apply to rebate program: Ashford.com, AllBooks4Less.com, Cooking.com, Computers4sure.com, CVS, eHobbies, Garden.com, Hallmark.com, HammacherSchlemmer, LandsEnd.com, OfficeMax.com, PlanetRX, TheSharperImage.com, and Wrenchhead.com.

They almost got me...

RossMAN · Sep 28, 2000

LubeDog - Thanks! The FREE SHIPPING link you provided worked like a charm. Although I wonder why when you click free shipping from the BFL site it brings you to the $29 off $79 form? Anyhow the free shipping form looks like it's still valid until 09/30/00 and your order has to be over $50, they reimburse up to $20 shipping costs.

Here's my order:
---------------
Young Frankenstein (DVD) USPS Priority Mail 086162090707 $22.45 1 $22.45

------------------------------------
$52.17 / 6 = $8.69 each DVD with free shipping!!!

namlook · Sep 28, 2000

You only have 5 DVD's there not 6. So your total is $52.17/5 = $10.43 per DVD.

Here's my order:

Fight Club (DVD) $23.94 Shipping: $1.95
Edward Scissorhands (DVD) $20.45 Shipping: $0.95
Final Conflict: Omen III (DVD) $18.95 Shipping: $0.95
Dead Zone (DVD) $20.45 Shipping: $0.95
This Is Spinal Tap (DVD) $18.94 Shipping: $0.95

Shopping Cart Total $108.48

-$20.00 800.com coupon
-$ 5.75 BFL shipping reimbursement
-$29.00 off $79.00 BFL rebate
------------------------------------
$53.73 / 5 = $10.75 per DVD including shipping

RossMAN · Sep 28, 2000

namlook - Sorry I should have pointed this out and it's not that easy to spot due to the spacing, but I ordered 2 copies of Fargo. Therefore making the total number of DVDs purchased 6. Awesome price! This is a lot easier than the Columbia House deal with greater selection.

Kujaku · Sep 28, 2000

hmm Rebates do not apply to gift certificate purchases and pre-orders. darn it I wonder if they'll accept CDNOW's advance order != pre-orders heh

Socool · Sep 28, 2000

Can you qualify for BOTH free shipping and the 20% off deal at BFL on the same purchase? Appears the rebate form is one in the same for both with the disclaimer "Offer limited to one rebate per person/household and one rebate per order number"

Nitz's ECS page seems to indicate you can apply for both "If you're applying for free shipping AND cash back from the same order, you will need to fill out 2 different rebate forms"

Anybody gotten both rebates back?

Nitz · Sep 28, 2000

Yeah, free shipping and cash back is the one instance where you can do both rebates and have them both be valid. You DO have to fill out both rebate forms though. I've done this many times in the past and it has worked just fine.

Also about the DVD preorder thing, they discontinued that program because there was such a nightmare with people ordering DVDs months out, then the pricing changes and they don't qualify for the rebate any longer, or they get the rebate check before the movies ship accidentally, and then people were cancelling orders. That's why the rebates are only good for stuff that ships immediately - it was too much accounting.

bubba · Sep 28, 2000

So, any great deals to be had using this?

abovewood · Sep 28, 2000

I don't remember getting the last rebate check form B4L, it should be $25. Anyone got their check?

conroeguy · Sep 28, 2000

They did get me. And they can't cancel the order since it goes straight to the warehouse. Whoever heard of a mail order company who's customer service has no communication with the warehouse?!?!?!?

Anyway...they told me just to refuse the order and I would get a complete refund. Including shipping costs.

Redman7 · Sep 28, 2000

Thanks for the post.

I picked up the Motorola FRS60 for:
$99.94
($20.00) less 800.com coupon
($29.00) less Rebate
free shipping (rebated)
$50.94 Total

Not too bad.

sheba · Sep 28, 2000

BFL is great in getting out their rebates. The site has some problems though in their listings because you can click on computers and NOT get stores that are in there..like Officemax which is under Home Office.Look up the list of stores.. that might be better JandR Electronics is a great company to buy from.. got overnight shipping for the cost of regular shipping and it was reimbursed by BFL so even better.

Cybordolphin · Sep 29, 2000

oooops.

Insomniac · Sep 29, 2000

Can you combine 3 rebates? The 20% off up to $1000, The $29 of $79 and up to $20 for shipping? If so, where should ypou start your shopping experience?

Bob61 · Sep 29, 2000

Redman7: Rebate is $29, so your deal is even better
