I went in last Saturday to buy the burner and a Logitech Cordless keyboard for my fiancee's laptop.
Anyway, they said they wouldn't PM Sam's club because it's not open to the public. I was very polite and showed them a scan of a receipt from a Staples that did do the PM, still no dice. I took the burner anyway and was going to try to cook up some way I could PM with Amex Blue.
Blue said no go on PM'ing a store receipt - must be an ad, soooooo, I went back to Staples today after seeing the Victorville, CA receipt. Either there was a new manager there, or he just decided to give in, because they PM'd the drive, so I got out of the store with the drive for $61.61 (with my CA tax).
I didn't try to use a coupon because I'd used a $20 off $40 the previous Saturday, and the lovely customer service lady didn't realize she should've taken it off my receipt - Woot! (don't even know what that means, but I see it here all the time )
Anyway, I'll send a scan of my receipt to
noahch@mail.com because he said he'd host them. I also made a scan of the rebate form I'd printed - don't know if it'll turn out o.k., but I'll send it too.
The lesson - if at first you don't succeed, go back and hope you get a different manager!
Good luck to all.
