Could someone do me a big favor and provide me with a saved webpage or screencap of Regency Camera's $429 price on the Nikon 995? I appear to have lost my printout, and I need to submit my Amex blue pricematching paperwork.

>>>$50 Sony rebate is when you buy Sony Digital Camera and 16MB or more capacity Memory Stick. Sony wants original UPC cut from the camera box. So, it's a good idea to keep couple of copies before mailing for the rebate. Look HERE for the $50 rebate.<<<

Thanks for the rebate form, Mr. B.

Do you, or does anyone, know if the camera and memory stick can be purchased at 2 different stores and on 2 different dates? I've tried to get through to Sony's rebate center to ask this question...after 2 days of busy signals, I finally got through, but I have been on hold for 30+ minutes with no sign of human life.

Several people have been nice enough to pass along an .htm file with the screen capture of the RegencyCamera.com $479 price on the Coolpix 950, which I need. Unfortunately, to re-form the page, you also need the graphics. So could someone either send me a file with the associated graphics zipped up, or a "complete webpage (single page)" .mht archive, which includes the graphics?

I'll put this online for the benefit of all if someone can help me out, here.

My email addy is kennethfine@hotmail.com

For all who have bought the Nikon 995 with your AMEX card, you may want to get your PM in with AMEX. Regency used to have the lowest price at $479, but they are now selling the Nikon 995 for $700 something. I got this one from Techbargains.

Nikon 995 for $499

Ummm...that's $599.99. According to the site: "Price is after $100.00 mfg. rebate." Amex will only match the $599.99 BEFORE rebate price.

If someone could email me a copy of Regency Camera's listing of that camera, I would greatly appreciate it. The only ones I can find now are over $600 before the rebate. My address is jowheeler@netzero.net. Thanks!

We'll see. If they only do the PM on $599, then I will keep watching the prices and PM again when it gets lower. I have 56 days left.

Regency camera isn't the only place with the lowest price available. Check Yahoo shopping and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Anybody got the confirmation email from MSN yet? I placed the order on 12/19 and still have no confirmation from msn. Talked through their online help and had my order confirmation from ritz fowarded to them. They said they will put it into research and email me later

 

[hoho]

sunnydelight:

I met the same problem too, I placed the order on 12/18, I called ritz, they said I qualify the MSN reward, but... no response from msn eshop.

...still wait...

 

[gittyup]

Same here. I bought the 995 on 12/20 and no MSN email yet. I also called Ritz and the CSR told me that I had doen the Passport thing just fine. Still waiting.

 

[KeyzerSoze]

D@mn these spammers! I just got an email from some address @msn.com and the subject was something like "MSN has sent out your rebate check". I open it up and its porn. ACK.

 

[chlobo]

I emailed msn again and they said they were unable to get in touch with Ritz because of the holiday and to give it a week. That's all I'm giving before I start getting huffy!

 

[wheels4]

Regency Camera lowered their price again, back to $479.99. Now's the time to print it off for those who haven't done yet!

[sunnydelight]

I finally got the email confirmation from msn. Oh, man, what a relif. For those who are on the same boat as me, please check your mailbox!

 

[razordog]

i got the camera on 12/19, and i've been waiting for the purchase to show up on my holiday rewards...well, i didn't get an e-mail confirmation but the purchase does show up on my holiday rewards account...so i guess it was the holidays that contributed to the delay...

Hi guys, my friend told me about this thread since I am also looking to purchase a coolpix995. I heard about the price matching online, but can anybody please explain the steps? Ideally I would like to get it from ritzcamera, so if anything gone wrong I can always goto a local store. Anyways, I look forward to any explainations you can provide!

 

[flippo]

BCSeaMonkey, here is the steps you need to get into this deal, but not with MSN reward since they already end the promo by dec 20th, 2001.

1. Buy Nikon coolpix from ritzcamera.com for $799.99 with your amex blue card if you don't have it then get one

2. Pricematch number 1: ritzcamera.com have lowest price guarantee for 3 days after date of purchase with cameraworld.com to get back $50.00 from ritzcamera.com

3. Pricematch number 2: call amex best value guarantee phone no: 800-557-8317 and the print out the website for lowest price you can found in the internet so far for Coolpix 995 is : Camera City for $499.99. So far your price would be
$749.99 - $250(max you can get for pricematching with amex blue card) = $499.99.

4. Send nikon $100 rebate, end on 01/30/02. in 6 weeks to 6 months you probably will get the rebate so your final cost still $399.99.

Not bad for $799.99 digital camera huh ??

Hope that help...

Anyone have any suggestions on what to do with the $100 GC from Photoalley? I can't really find anything useful for the 995 from Photoalley, has anyone else? Thanks in advanced!
