Panasonic DVDRV30 DVD Player @ Mercata: PowerBuy + Passport 20% + Mercata$ 20% + Ebates 5% + $50 Mail-in

[ktchong]

Microsoft Passport site says that I was supposed to click on the Passport logo on the merchant's sign in page. I don't see any Passport logo on Mercata sign-in page. The page only allows me to sign in with my email address and password.

How do I sign in to Mercata with Microsoft Passport?

Edit: Changed titled and added a hot deal in the third post (second reply to this message.)

NO hot deal here. You should post this in the i wanna thread. Have a nice day

 

[ktchong]

Look around and you can find a post that says how to get around it. If you cant find it and no one posts, search for topics in here with my username in them, I said some stupid trivial comment in it that was of no real use to anyone.

Kingofcomputer - Like da bastard said, do some searching and you'll find the answer.

Hehehe thats why RossMAN is a golden member and I have just recently reached Senior member. He cares enough to go the extra mouse click to bring your complete answer. I on the other hand seem to usually waste my posts stating basically nothing, like now.

On a more topic related note:

I think someone needs to check there math. The 2 20%off will not be the same amount.

final price = { [ (powerbuy) *.8) * .8 ] * .95 } -$50


which would be $87.92 at their posted price, plus shipping.

Shipping was $5 for me, and it should arrive today!! Woohoo!!

 

[chrisrafter]

Mercata shows the MSN 20% off of the price + the shipping. So they're discounting the shipping by 20%. Is that right? See below:


Subtotal: $225.50
Mercata$ applied: - $45.10
Shipping: $7.77
Taxes: $0.00

Mercata total: $188.17
Estimated Microsoft Passport 20% Discount* - $37.63

Total amount billed to your card: $150.54

Thanks for the heads up. I gave up and ordered 1.
I had trouble getting the ebates discount to work under Netscape (using the posted instructions) and gave up after 4 tries. I switched to IE5 and it worked like a charm.

$224.69 (price)
-$ 44.93 (Mercata 20%)
+$ 7.77 (shipping)
-$ 37.51 (MSN 20%)
------------------
=$150.02 (Total)
-$ 7.50 (Ebates 5%, applies to the Total billed)
-$ 50.00 (Panasonic rebate)
------------------
=$ 92.52 (final)

Sweet. Now, I don't have to watch my DVDs on my monitor.
