DEAD - Bestbuy 10% off coupon code PRINTABLE -valid Sept 9 - Sept 11

[yatko]

10% off on-line Coupon code: PREFCUST550786331407
I saw two of these. One at my place and another one at family member's place. The code seems to be universal.
Offer good on-line and in store between Sept 9 - Sept 11.
Sale limited to in stock items. Unless otherwise indicated excludes clearance, demo and open box poducts.

*Discount not available on computers, laptops, video game consoles, digital cameras under 4 megapixels, confectionary items, greeting cards, iPods, DVD writers and hard drives. Post-paid cellphones require in-store activation to receive discount.

OK. In order redeem this in-store:
Print the coupon:
http://newsletter.bestbuy.ca/im/2005/BBY/Promo/09_07/static_en.html
Cashier's Instructions:

Press F12
Scan the barcode or enter the SKU at the 'Scan discount coupon offer' prompt
Discount will be automatically deducted from invoice
Discard Coupon


So obviously on the hardcopy there is a barcode. But as on all barcodes there is also a manual number 10065144.

Both of the coupon flyers I have has the same number so it seems universal as well.

But I am sure if in store one demands a hardcopy of this coupon, they will supply.

Let the bargain hunting begin. See my Nikon D50 (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=180875&highlight=nikon+d50) post related to this.

So what they mean is that the coupon only works with half their camera selection, printers, games, media, and the HT department. :twisted:

Wow this might work for the digital rebel! Time to go for a refund at FS. :)

[lonelydriver]

[PHANTOMPHOENIX]

Looks like televisions are included.

[CSR]

great!

[KEVIN_A]

[ttt]

thanks for the coupon. i have 5 days to plan what i'm gonna buy. :D

[Hellfire]

Works for DVDs, Sweet!!

[Adrian Lankosz]

Thanks might pick up the sd500 camera since will be needing one soon. 599.99 at bestbuy so 540 wont be too bad.

Anywhere to get a physical copy of the coupon?

[SkiD]

I was expecting Best Buy to have their Preferred Customer sale a couple weeks ago (they have 1 every quarter), but next weekend will be time to do a bunch of DVD preorders and finally look at buying that 46" DLP if the price is right.

[Junkguy]

Sale limited to in stock items. Unless otherwise indicated excludes clearance, demo and open box poducts.
Ah, it seems like price matched items are included... :D

[sfu_lifer]

How does this work if you're buying in-store?
You tell the cashier to punch the code in w/ no paperwork behind it?

[Ilikethisdeal]

how to use it onine? Where to put it?

[The_One]

do i need the original coupon if i buy instore?
can you tell me where you got it from. newspaper?

I got the coupon mailed to me a few days ago. Maybe Bestbuy will give them out at the store?

[mahjongmaniac]

sweet.... thx4posting OP...

now time to lurk around on BB.ca to see what's good to buy... :razz:

----------------------

I got the coupon mailed to me a few days ago. Maybe Bestbuy will give them out at the store?

huh... so its like that FS pref. customer event where they also sent out the "invitation card" w/ coupon codes on 'em? :rolleyes:


damn... i don't think every1's gonna get 1 since last time FS had their pref. customer event, not every1 got the physical coupon mailed to 'em....
fortunately tho, ppl also recv'd emails about the event w/ the coupon codes as well.... so hopefully this time we'd get those coupon codes via email as well...

[lonelydriver]

where do i sign up to become a preferred customer?

[Spike]

I bet they won't have anything on sale next weekend. :mad:

[The_One]

where do i sign up to become a preferred customer?
Did you ever buy anything at their online store? I never signed up for anything. So I think thats how I get the card all the time. :)

I bet they won't have anything on sale next weekend. :mad:

Sadly I think that might be true. :lol:

[simplyno]

Thanks might pick up the sd500 camera since will be needing one soon. 599.99 at bestbuy so 540 wont be too bad.



Black's has the sd500 for $549.99
price match at bestbuy with black's to bring it to $544.99 after 110%pm
then use the coupon code to take 10% off .10 X $544.99 = 54.499
$544.99 - $54.499 = $490.49
tell me if my math is wrong
but this looks pretty sweet.. i might have to sell my a95 and pick one of these up

[Cheap-ass123]

can i use this 10% off to buy a tv??

[can2000]

buy a LCD?

[Badman]

Wow thanx for this post.....time to buy something yet from RFD again........ ;)

[eljay]

Hmm, I might have to give hints on my bday gift. I want a digital camera. With this coupon it's a sweet deal and they have a free Lexmark P915 Photo Printer with any digicam over $199. Nice!

[Junkguy]

Can someone please scan this coupon? It doesn't say "no reproductions," so they'll probably accept a printout.

[supernewf]

yeah... someone please scan coupon!

[sf1]

damn... i don't think every1's gonna get 1 since last time FS had their pref. customer event, not every1 got the physical coupon mailed to 'em....


i received it when it already expired. :mad:

[eljay]

Is there any way to PM this with FS? Since it's a coupon, it may not be possible.
There's no BB locally, so I would prefer to buy from FS so I can save myself hassles if I want to return something.

[nodlive]

hopefully the sony 1gb nw-e407 mp3 player will go on sale to 200$ again while this coupon is running.. that'd make me happy happy!

[nodlive]

How do I use this coupon online? Is it past the 'enter payment' section?

(I know the coupon isn't valid yet)

[NetAnt]

darn...I shouldn't visit RedFlagDeals.com so often... :evil: I am broken again :mad:

[mahjongmaniac]

i received it when it already expired. :mad:

hahahaha... LMAO!

wtf? recv'd it AFTER the event was over? ... LOL

(no offense, but that's pretty funny)

u should've wrote a complaint to FS HO and see what they've got to say bout that.... ;)

[Lucette]

where do i sign up to become a preferred customer?

I think it's when you enter a contest on thier site, and opt in to receive promotional offers. I've never bought anything at bestbuy.ca, nor have I bought anything instore at any Canadian Best Buy location, and I received the coupon.

[mahjongmaniac]

affirmative... that is 1 of the ways...

virtually EVERY SINGLE CONTEST that FS/BB promotes, they'll ask for email addy and a "checkbox" asking for ur participation in their respective newsletters regarding promotions, wkly sales, etc....

u can also sign-up directly for that newsletter on FS/BB's homepage.

[felix]

OP, please add "valid Sept 9 - Sept 11" in title. And bold it in your post. ;)

[simplyno]

so is there any other way that I can get the real copy of the coupon before the coupon becomes valid???

[JL23]

For everyone that has asked, I went to Best Buy a few days ago to buy something and the greeter at the door hands out a flyer and gives out an invitation to the customer appreciation sale also so I'm sure you can just go to the store and they'll give you one or at the very least, just ask for one. Hope that helps!!

[mahjongmaniac]

so is there any other way that I can get the real copy of the coupon before the coupon becomes valid???

well, what i'd suggest doing is wait the next couple days for it to show up in ur email inbox (that's if u signed up for the BB newsletter of course)... maybe BB will be like FS last time and sent out the email versions of the coupon code.... :razz:

but don't 4get to check ur mailbox 4 the physical copy too... u never know, u might just get it... ;)

[7jai]

SEVERAL QUESTIONS!!!

1. So can i buy an LCD with this coupon?

2. Do i need this coupon to use it IN STORE? or do I just tell the cashier the coupon numbers?

3. Can this be applied to Gift cards? Because ppl are selling gift cards on RFD for 15% off and such...so that's even a BETTER Bargain!


Thanks

[KevinP]

Well I called my 2 loal stores, they do not have any clue about this coupon, nothing is in their computer.

I called the online services, the code did not work for them either.

Whoever posted he link, that does not work.

What's the deal? Do you need to physical coupon while in the store? will their computers not recognize it until September 9th?

How do we get a copy of this coupon. Thanks for the help. I jsut spent over 2K their yesterday on a TV, so the $200+ will be a nice savings :) :) :)

[gostinger]

Got mine today in Ajax after buying DVDs for 20 bucks

Since you also PM'ed me coupon is valid from Sept 9 to Sept 11 .
What day is this today?

[Lucette]

*hovering mouse over bottom right hand corner of computer screen*

September 6th. :lol:

[JuJu5522]

So, I want to pricematch a camcorder at Best Buy ($849.99), with one at Aden Camera ($679.99). Do they price match with Aden? If so, would I buy the cam at BB...or how do I go about it (including using the coupon)? Could I do it online since there is no BB around me?

[JiggaMan]

This may be a stupid question... but here goes.

I've never used FS Price match... if I was to buy a projector from BB with the 10% off... would FS then PM the projector by 110% off of the BB total (including coupon sale)?

[KevinP]

Since you also PM'ed me coupon is valid from Sept 9 to Sept 11 .

I was under the impression that the coupon was "in" their system, but not valid until 9-11. As far as any BB employee tells me they have no idea what I'm talking about.

[scottmcl]

Re-read the coupon...it says "Between"...

[ccubed]

I'm wondering if someone can confirm (if they know from experience) if BB will apply the 10% even AFTER you do a pricematch? I would argue that the two are not related, but you never know with these guys.

Woud apprciate anyone's first-hand knowledge.

Thanks..

[to_munda]

hye thx4posting that up.... :razz:

it definitely saves up more space b/c when i wanted to printout that webpage it wouldn't fit on ONE pg, and i had to resize it down to ~85% in order to fit the bottom paragraph onto it... and when i printed it out it (fine print) was barely legible..

w/ this img, no resizing needed! :-0 (i might even need to blow it up in case the fine print doesn't show up clearly)

[to_munda]

hye thx4posting that up.... :razz:

hey i just realized that ur "repost" of the coupon ad didn't include the bottom fine print part...

here's the repost of the coupon that DOES include it :D :

EDIT: oh wait... nm...

did u intentionally "leave out" the bottom fine print part of the coupon ad so that u can try using the coupon on the items that are EXCLUDED for the 10% off? :twisted:

(if so, u scammer! :lol: )

[yuprules]

Are you an Amerifriend? :)

[trixR4kids]

Btw just to let u noe, on the card it saids it excludes clearance, demo and open box product. Which means that any product that ends in .97, .96, .95 r excluded

[mahjongmaniac]

well, the only way to find out if the "exceptions" to the 10% of are *really* excluded or not is to play around w/ the code 2moro on BB's website :cheesygri

[burnaby]

Anyone read any exclusions for fido phone cards?

[recordman]

the exclusions don't say that. i'm pretty sure fido cards are good. i've bought fido cards before via the FS 10% deal.

Anyone read any exclusions for fido phone cards?

[Rancidm]

So this should work with prepaid cellphones, correct?

[recordman]

that would be correct, sir. i don't use my cell often. i'm on the $10/month fido prepaid plan. 10% + 20% (through discount giftcards) for a $10 card works out to be $8.21 (inc. tax), which is not bad.

So this should work with prepaid cellphones, correct?

[burnaby]

The $5 off $10 coupon (one for each of Aug/Sept/Oct handed out in stores in July) works too for an effective price of $4+tax with GCs.

[DarkReaper]

You got it buddy :lol: :cheesygri

You evil man! If I can get away with this, I will have a new HD. :)

[DarkReaper]

I noticed the flyer is composed of 2 images. Can someone merge them into one file?

[Rancidm]

Thanks for the reply. :) I don't use my phone often either. I'm leaning towards Virgin Mobile for their 4 month expiry period and reasonably low rate. How many cents per minute is the Fido $10 gift card? I've actually been torn between Fido and VM for the past few days. Fido seems to be a better deal cent/minute-wise at .15 cents with their $30 for 60 days voucher (and you get $50+$20 referral in minutes when you buy one of their phones), but to get that rate you're forced to pay $15 a month. (the $30 for 60 days voucher is labelled as a promotion too, which makes me a bit tentative about it). Virgin Mobile costs a bit more, but you're only forced to pay $15 every 4 months. I guess it really depends how much you use your phone.

[tylercanuck]

So I called Best Buy in Ottawa and the representative claimed that you can use the 10% off coupon on LCD monitors because the flyer only specifies computers as being excluded from the offer. (computers and laptops have a cpu) However, they won't price match and then apply the coupon on top. Too bad!

[sf1]

BB will prolly hide their stocks tml instore

[simplyno]

However, they won't price match and then apply the coupon on top. Too bad!

We'll see about that considering it doesn't say that on the coupon.

[cheapbastage]

BB will prolly hide their stocks tml instore

Or better yet...the prices we all se on the site now are sale prices...up they go to regular prices, at least +15% :evil:

[Spike]

Does it start at midnight?

[eljay]

I'm ready to get my camera. :D

Not to hijack, but... should I buy 1GB SD card and battery charger from Best Buy with this coupon or can I do better browsing around elsewhere?

[recordman]

The $10 card is for 30c/min. I don't need more than 33 mins' worth per month. When someone calls me, and I'm near a landline, I just look at the caller id, cancel the call, and call back using the landline. :cheesygri

I wonder if I should buy the portable 7" DVD player and get extra 10% off here or earn the aeroplan miles @ FS...

(or better yet, PM @ FS get the extra 10% + 10%PM + Aeroplan Miles :twisted: )

[mahjongmaniac]

haha... what's to hide? and copy stooples when they only have 110%?

lol

[Spike]

How do you use this online??? I can't see anywhere to enter the code!!

Throw me a fricking bone here! :mad: :cheesygri

you enter it in the digital dollars area

click on the 'use digital dollar' link. it's right above the checkout buttonn in the shopping cart screen.

[Spike]

OK, cool. I assume BestBuy is based in Vancouver so we'll have to wait until midnight PST. :rolleyes:

[sf1]

The $10 card is for 30c/min. I don't need more than 33 mins' worth per month. When someone calls me, and I'm near a landline, I just look at the caller id, cancel the call, and call back using the landline. :cheesygri

why top up $10 every month with fido for 30c/min
when virgin mobile works out to be
(15/4) = $3.75 per month (minimum usage) for 25 cents/minute

if your usage is below 33min/month, $15 on virgin mobile should last you 2 to 3 months without topping up any money.

ok sorry for advertising all the time... i dont work for virgin...

[yackulic]

nothing on their flyer that really impresses me......

[felix]

I'm ready to get my camera. :D

Not to hijack, but... should I buy 1GB SD card and battery charger from Best Buy with this coupon or can I do better browsing around elsewhere?
Can also PM with Dell.ca for the SD card. Or buy at Staples and use those $20 off $100 coupons along with price match.

yah what he said

maybe those lazy@$$e$ at BB decided to implement the DD codes to work at checkout by 2moro morning and not right NOW (which is already Sept 9th) :mad:

[champ91]

what did you try it on?

i tried it on a Video card

[coolman217]

now it works...

stupid 12am deadline...pst time

[champ91]

now it works...

stupid 12am deadline...pst time

where did it show your discount? in the basket?

[coolman217]

wait...it didn't.

i just saw kilyas-uk's comments and replied...after that..there were tons of replies.

i think this works the same as the $5 off $30 and other DD coupons..it never shows up in the checkout perhaps?

[StrayB]

It works for me now ( after 12 am PST ). It doesn't show the discount in the cart, but it comes up after you continue into the checkout ( at the shipping options page ).

Edit: It seems to be showing up in the cart page now.

[coolman217]

i wonder what double stacking will do...

[champ91]

try putting a DVD in the cart with the coupon and you'll see what I mean

[Corel]

Yes!! **** Yes!!! The New 1080p Samsung Tv Is In!!! Omfg !!! Yes!!!!

[champ91]

SORRY. i stand corrected......now certain things are starting to work again....Video cards seem to work now....but not b4

[recordman]

thanks the tip. i'll do some research on virgin. $3.75/month would be awesome.

why top up $10 every month with fido for 30c/min
when virgin mobile works out to be
(15/4) = $3.75 per month (minimum usage) for 25 cents/minute

if your usage is below 33min/month, $15 on virgin mobile should last you 2 to 3 months without topping up any money.

ok sorry for advertising all the time... i dont work for virgin...

So, I want to pricematch a camcorder at Best Buy ($849.99), with one at Aden Camera ($679.99). Do they price match with Aden? If so, would I buy the cam at BB...or how do I go about it (including using the coupon)? Could I do it online since there is no BB around me?

Actually, it looks like there's still items on sale -- just what I wanted ended yesterday :(

[Shaf]

Is the Canon Elura 85 a good camcorder at 10% off (reg. $750)? Which camcorder would you buy?

now time to checkout what games i can get for cheap! :cheesygri

[irish80ca]

i thought that's all the stuffs BB sells


LOL, same thing popped into my head the second I started reading ALL the items you CAN'T use this on.

[mahjongmaniac]

i tried to add 2 DD coupon codes online and it works BUT when u go to ur shopping cart it only shows ONE 10% off discount.... so NOTE that stacking will not work to get u the cheaper-cheaper price... ;)

if u got more than 1 code, take ur time to decide what u wanna buy...

but if u got only 1 code, take MORE time and make urself that 1 gigantic order for the 10%off.... b/c indeed u can only use the coupon once per acct... ;)
of course, if u got >1 family member/relative that has an acct, i guess u could "borrow" it to use the same code again... :twisted:

[fttn]

Can someone please scan this coupon? It doesn't say "no reproductions," so they'll probably accept a printout.

I saw them at the cashier.

[whrlwndz]

here's a question, can you pm and then apply the 10%?
what im looking at is pioneer 1015 receiver

so it would be:
699 - 599 = 100
599 - 10 = 589 (10% of difference)
589 - 58.9 = 530.10 (10% coupon)

bestbuy is 699
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10062087&catid=20313

futureshop is 599
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10062087&catid=10551&logon=&langid=EN

futureshop WAS 549 last week, so its cheaper by 20 bucks if this is possible.

[Headhunter]

Thanks, posted!

Apologies if this has been answered, but I don't have time to read this entire thread:

Can this coupon be used multiple times for multiple orders in the same account?

can't seem to use it on the 60" sony lcd projection they have on sale now...

[mahjongmaniac]

Apologies if this has been answered, but I don't have time to read this entire thread:

no....

i've tried it b4 on FS/BB .... u can only use it once per acct....

[Kurtz7834]

no....

i've tried it b4 on FS/BB .... u can only use it once per acct....

Alright, thanks! If I'm going to use it I'll save it for a larger order then. Probably won't be ordering anything in the next few days though.

[cipher]

no....

i've tried it b4 on FS/BB .... u can only use it once per acct....

But isn't that only online. I should be able to print this thing several times and visit Bestbuy B&M and buy stuff for 10% off.

[mahjongmaniac]

But isn't that only online. I should be able to print this thing several times and visit Bestbuy B&M and buy stuff for 10% off.

oh yeah, definitely! :D

altho however i haven't tried it b4 tho.....

anyhoo i don't think they'd "track u down" on their PC to see if u've attempted to use same coupon > once tho... ;)


btw FYI, last time FS had 10%off (3 codes), i used 1 of'em instore and the cashier cut-out the coupon that i used and stoopled it to "their receipt"... and i was wondering "hm... was that REALLY necessary since on BOTH theirs and my copy of the receipt it specifically said 10%off coupon?" :confused:

[mahjongmaniac]

Alright, thanks! If I'm going to use it I'll save it for a larger order then. Probably won't be ordering anything in the next few days though.
"next few days"???

um... code is valid til Sept 11 (Sun) so if ur "next few days" passes that, i'd assume it won't work on Mon.

so ur "large order" better be decided within the next 2 days... :idea: ;)



btw, in terms of the DD coupon code to be used online and only once per acct, this is specifically referring to the actual $XX DD codes.... not the XX% coupon codes....

remember that BB price error on the Benq1620 drive for $20 after MIR? well i guess enuff complaints went thru that BB finally decided to offer us a $10 DD code as compensation... i used it and tried again and needless to say it didn't work... tried it using my bro's acct and it didn't work either (assumed code was acct specific)

just FYI :)

I've got important news for you guys - it looks like the coupon still works on Out of Stock items. I repeat, the coupon might still work on items that are OOS.

Proof: I've just applied the coupon to a TV stand that is currently OOS. I can see in checkout that the 10% discount has been successfully applied.

Now, although I was able to apply the coupon successfully, I can't rule out the possibility that BB will tell me later that it cannot be used, as my item was OOS when I tried buying it. However, I highly doubt this scenario will take place because the coupon was already applied to my item during checkout. (Usually if a coupon works at checkout, then you're in business. But in cases where a coupon doesn't work, the system lets you know right away by bringing up an error message during the checkout process.)

Now it's also possible the coupon only works on some OOS items, but not on others. Who knows.

Bottom line: If the item you want to buy at BB is currently OOS, try to use the coupon anyway. You might still be able to get the 10% discount, as I did.

Good luck!

Does anyone know if BB is supposed to price match a TV I bought two weeks ago? Would they give me 10% back if I bring the receipt in-store?

I spoke to the sales manager in Scarborough, and he refused. He said that this is one of the exclusion in the price guarantee. I told him I could well return my existing TV and buy one now with 10% off. He would be better off giving me the 10% or BB would lose more with my returned TV. He did not care, and said "Go ahead, you are entitled to return it within 30 days"! :mad:

Yep, just look at the final price. At first I didn't think it was applied, but the prices were all reduce by 10% in the subtotal for each item.

[Chrispy]

Wow this might work for the digital rebel! Time to go for a refund at FS. :)

Just get them to do a price adjustment and save yourself the hassle

[agent86]

Has anyone tried to use this coupon instore yet? Do they accept it?Yes, no problems at all. The UPC on the jpg doesn't scan properly so she used an "original" to scan the UPC. And the price that shows on the receipt is the discounted price. That is, there is no line that shows "10% discount".

If the 10% off works on the 27" LCD TV thats on sale for $899, thats a pretty nice deal.

[Pawtucket]

can i pm with FS and apply this 10%???

I have been wanting to buy a video-card, and I was lucky to get a $50 gift card to futureshop from someone (a gift). So I went to Futureshop and showed them the coupon and asked if they would at least match the 10% off price.

Took forever...I think the guy that helped me was an idiot.

Worked out. Got the X800XL for $329.99 - $32.99 = $297

A warm deal already, as I have never seen the X800XL for <$300. (you can just do this at Bestbuy with the actual coupon, I wanted to go to FS because I had a giftcard).

[mahjongmaniac]

Yep, just look at the final price. At first I didn't think it was applied, but the prices were all reduce by 10% in the subtotal for each item.

if u found MIJ spindles f/ FS's labour day sale, that was a better deal... IMO

[TommyC]

thanks to the OP. I needed a new UPS for my computer so this coupon came at the right time. The UPS I ordered (APC BX1200) was already on sale from $200 down to $180 but with the coupon it brought it down to $162. Maybe not the best deal ever but still not too bad.

Was at BB, picking up a wireless card.
at register, they said it was the preferred customer sale.
So 10% OFF.

Now, I can't confirm if its all locations or on all products.

Hi all, I have been eyeing for a small speaker system for awhile and finally found this sony 7.1 speaker system on sale. The original price for this Sony (SA-VE367T) 7.1 Speaker System is $499 but it is on sale for $249. When i went to the Markham location today there weren't any on the shelf but the guy got me one from the back and i asked him if I could use the 10% preferred customer coupon I printed out, and he said no because on the flyer said it is clearence, but he wasn't the one that check me out so when i got to the check out i showed the coupon to the lady and i got 10% on top of it so it ends up $225 + tax

to break it down
$499.99
-$250.00
=$249.99
-$25.00 (10% off)
=$224.99

Anyways, just wanted to share with you guys, and i'm looking for a receiver now, does anyone know if i can get pricematch at BB, I saw the receiver is cheaper at Futureshop, not sure if i can pricematch it at BB and put the 10% on top of that as well, could someone let me know.

Guys, you don't need to print any coupons. They have a whole stack and they were passing them out.

Bought 256 MB PC133 SD-Ram. Saved $9. :lol:
Might go back tomorrow and buy some more stuff.

[monkey-boy]

I thought they would have passed them out. But they weren't at the west side best buy in edmonton on friday. I had my printout so I didn't care, but usually they do, don't they?

Anyway I ended up getting my solomobile phone for $115, NHL 2006 for under $30(pm and 10% :P) but wasted my savings on a stupid controller I had to buy since I left all mine back in PG :(

[cornholio]

is it just 100% pm or 110% pm???

and after that i can use the 10% off???

I did PM @ FS. so I get 10% off from BB coupon and another 10% for the *different*

i.e. 11% off if my calculation is correct.

[cornholio]

im actually looking at the pioneer vsx-1015 receiver

it is selling at 599 at FS
and 699 at BB

i was wondering if i can pricematch at BB for 699 - 110 = 589

then i can apply the 10% off 589 - 10% off = ~530

can someone let me know?

Hmm, I might have to give hints on my bday gift. I want a digital camera. With this coupon it's a sweet deal and they have a free Lexmark P915 Photo Printer with any digicam over $199. Nice!

I thought I mentioned it already
but it does work on things not on the list. such as VIDEO CARDS

so why don't you try it? it should show the discount on the checkout. iit will just change the price but not say discount or anything.

computer means just computer, not computer components. thats why they excluded Harddrives as well.

[felix]

Has anyone tried to use this coupon instore yet? Do they accept it?
Yes it does. Actually i don't think you even need a coupon from what i heard. They have the original coupon beside each cash register i think, because that's what they used when their scan gun wouldn't pick up the barcode from my coupon printed out on laser printer. :cheesygri

i actually assumed they were Riteks right off the bat b/c i've had 4X and 8X Memorex discs and they were all Riteks, so i merely assumed the 16X were Riteks as well. i might be wrong since i actually don't have any of these 16X Memorex discs.

So if I am looking for some DVD media, what is the best ones to get? I haven't bought blank DVDs before, so I don't know how good any of the brands are. I was hoping to pick up some before this sale ends tonight. Is it worth it to try to get the Memorex DVD+Rs? I don't have a BB in my area, so I can't really return anything easily.

You should look for good media codes on the media. I don't think anybody knows the media codes of the Memorex media... until somebody's bought them that is. Unfortunately, nobody has posted anything about getting them and what media code they are. I bought some and will post if they're any good on Monday or Tuesday when I get them in the mail. You won't get the 10% discount, but they'll still be on sale ;-)

Doh! Internet was down at home so I went and bought myself a game today and I asked the cashier if she had any coupons I could use. She said no. I came back home and I see this coupon... Damn cashiers! :mad:

Anyway, I ended up buying the game online and will return this one to the store. :twisted:

[simplyno]

they wouldn't pricematch and then use the coupon...never going to bestbuy again

[astrojax]

Yay, get to save the tax.

D70s for $1439.99. Nice deal!

Odds that it goes on sale for this price (or slightly less) before X-mas? Approximately, quite good. :lol:

[mahjongmaniac]

bump!

last few hrs to use that 10%off !

I called BestBuy yesterday to check what their latest price was for a 27" Sony TV because I wanted to make sure it was cheaper (even with the 10% off) than the competition. The competition currently had that model on sale.

The rep who spoke with me said they just lowered their price, likely to match the competition's advertised price, so I could use the 10% coupon on top.
Great, made sure there was stock and headed for the store.

At the store, I couldn't find that rep. Another rep told me at first that they didn't carry that model. Then we found it on display. Then he said they can't use the 10% coupon on sale items and a few other excuses.

I told him:
1. Another rep told me that I could use the 10% off coupon.
2. The coupon does not exclude sale items, just open box & clearance items.
3. Their price was now 5 cents cheaper than the competitor but clearly it
wasn't a sale item. It was just their new regular price.

After being disgusted by his 'tricks', I asked to speak to his manager.
He then agreed to put the purchase through with the coupon and I saved 10%. It was a pretty good deal but not a satisfying experience.

My guess is BestBuy reps might not be on commission but they probably have month end reports of who earned the most and least profit that results in official policies where reps try to push profitable items the most. And, sometimes it makes simply application of policy a pain for the consumer.

Sometimes RedFlag'ers might take advantage of misprints or other 'borderline' deals, but I really hate it when a big company like BestBuy has staff who try to get away from basic application of their coupons.

Or he could be an moron and knows nothing like most "Futureshop type store" employees :)

I'm 99.9% sure they're on commission.

Well you'd be wrong. Best Buy doesn't work on commission, which is why you don't get attacked by sales staff like in Future Shop.

[aznG]

yea no commission for bestbuy staff

BB employees do have some sort of eval. Not sure what type of eval, but they do get one.

A friend of mine went to do the PM (BB vs. Dell) on the 256 MB Sandisk and the sales guy didn't want to do it for him and said for him to go see customer service; he explained that it'll somehow affect him (he caught himself talking too much and said for him just to see customer service).

There's no major retailer that doesn't offer incentives for the employees to make sales; if they did the sales guys would get lazy and no go the extra mile for the company.

Another funny thing is that customer service had a real difficult time connecting to the internet or maybe just didn't know how to do it. :rolleyes: Then they didn't know how to navigate Dell's website. :rolleyes:

They said that he wasn't sure if they could PM Dell.ca and needed to consult with someone else. After 45 mins. and consulting with 2 others no one knew what to do, so they said go ahead and PM Dell.

I don't know where you're shopping but I get pounded by Best Buy staff much more often than from my local FS. Actually, I can't remember being pounded on by any FS staff from at least 5 different stores I've visited in the GTA, not even in the mobile/digital camera sections. All they do is ask you, "May I help you?"

Whereas in Best Buy, I get a load full of ****. A staff would just stand in front of various places, ie. in front of the hard drives, graphics cards, etc., and ask you the same question over and over again, "what are you looking for today sir, oh this is a magnificent card blah blah" when I haven't ever replied yet, and they go on like a robot even if I walk away or say "no thanks". And if I walk past them again they totally forgot ever talking to me and say the **** again WITH THE SAME WORDINGS, I mean, they must practise in front of the mirror or something.

Again, I'm pretty positive BB staff are on commission.

Nope my friend worked there. If they were on commision they'd also write some sort of number or another method to show it was there "commision' but they dont.

[herc]

How'd you get them to pm the 10%?

Sorry for the slow response..... Guess I'll still respond in case it happens again.

I took the Best Buy coupon that I printed off and showed FS that it was valid for the product I was buying. FS asked if Best Buy had the product in stock (of course, I said yes!) then they said they would price match the coupon. Even though BB said they wouldn't accept their own coupon.

I have had soooo many problems with BB. I oonly go there as a last resort now.

[[H]ackerK]

I think a while back when I was trying to get price protection, just a look at the receipt, they can ID the orginal sales I deal with. If I remember correct, it was the 4 chars under the Store Address on the receipt.

Dead now! :(

Got my Memorex 16x +R media using the discount and the media is RicohJPNR03, so not too shabby. Gonna do a couple of test burns on my DVR-110D and the DW1640 and see how they do.
