Hello there,

i remember getting this PMed for <$10 AR a few mths ago (can't find the thread).

i agree, it's actually not that great of a webcam, but for <$10 AR, it works fine for me for everyday use.

now for this price, you can't complain :D


-MJM...

[mahjongmaniac]

So I can't just PM it if I bought it tomorrow?

no, you can PM anytime during the ER-effective period... and of course, sometime when FS still has it on sale

you can't buy it "today" anyway... all stooples stores are closed right now ;) (yes, ignore the "buy today, PM tom." comment)

[macuser]

Yeay. Thanks MJM.

(Idiots denied PM last time, now I see it was for good reason :D )

[Duo64]

Hey there,

I think I've purchased too many of these near-free webcam deals to the point where

its actually starting to cost something....wonder if I should be getting this one too...

[Ilikethisdeal]

I'd say this is the abuse of PM coz technically it shouldn't work. The Staples stuff have the full reason to reject the PM. If Staples starts to remove ER, there is no game to play.

[mahjongmaniac]

there's been way too many past PM/ER deals where i've seen/heard RFDers using competitor's price where it's "lower than stooples' AR-price" and in these cases, the clause "if our AR-price is lower than competitor's, there'll be no PM" doesn't apply. but what do we see on RFD? ppl telling stories that stooples *still* neglects that fact and rejecting PMs regardless.

if they don't play by the rules, i don't see why we RFDers should "always" be abiding by them....


and yes, you're quite right they have the reason to deny it... that's why it's "YMMV"

stooples removing/ending ER? not anytime soon IMO.... their "ER business" is doing pretty good.

[neo1973]

Thank you MJM! :)

[garyl]

last time got refused, cuz they count the rebate before PM.

[Duo64]

Hi there,

just argue that FS's price is including an instant rebate.

They will then probably try to say "oh, we can't print you out the rebate form then, I'm smart and now you don't get free webcam looolllololool"

Then you just go home and print out the rebate from MJM's link. Win.

What's upc code, pl.

[Duo64]

Greetings,

success at 2 different locations in ottawa, with different results. Staples dropped price to $69.96 already, btw (rebate still available)

1) Ottawa Nepean, Merivale Rd.

$69.96 -$32.97 = $36.99 + $2.96 + $2.22 = $42.17


2) Ottawa Downtown, Bank St.

$69.96 - $29.97 = $39.99 + $3.20 + $2.40 = $45.59
When asked about the reason for no 10% added in, the manager said its only for over a certain price.....BS, but still an awesome MJM deal nevertheless. =p

Plenty stock still available at both locations.

Just wondering... the UPC barcode required for the online rebate submission is the same as the bar code on the box right?

I'd say this is the abuse of PM coz technically it shouldn't work. The Staples stuff have the full reason to reject the PM. If Staples starts to remove ER, there is no game to play.

I tired to pricematch the Seagate 500GB external with them. They claimed Walmsrt never had stock and that it was a different item.

I went and got one from Walmort, brought it to them, showed them my receipt to prove they had it in stock, scanned it on THEIR cash register to show it was the exact same item, and they still refused the pricematch.

As far as I'm concerned Staples is free game, they openly tried to scam me, I'll happily bleed them for every penny.

[T3rry]

I'd say this is the abuse of PM coz technically it shouldn't work. The Staples stuff have the full reason to reject the PM. If Staples starts to remove ER, there is no game to play.

With staples shady practices of hiding stock, denying perfectly legit PM's, denying the extra 10% if they do process the PM, etc... I feel no guilt taking advantage of them in every opportunity possible, since they feel no guilt taking advantage of uninformed everyday customers.


However i will not be takign advantage of this deal, i got several of these cameras for $5 each (no rebates) from a family member who works at a store that was discontinuing them

We need to try our luck in-store. I'm not sure if I'll be in luck at kingsway store in burnaby,BC. last time when there is "extra $100 off on every clearence priced computer" promotion, the manager wouldn't give me the extra $100 off on a dual core computer, claiming a clearenc priced computer end with .97 (the price of the computer was 399.97) wouldn't qualify for the promotion! There wasn't such thing in the ad (even in the fine print) however. I was mad and pointed at him:"DO YOU READ ENGLISH!":twisted: Sorry, my bad!:twisted: ... in front of so many customers.:lol:

Just went to Staples after work and picked it up for $42.17 after taxes and price match. Thanks OP!! I needed a cam.. After rebate that's $2.17.. lol

69.96 - 32.97 + 2.59 + 2.22 = $41.80

congrats.

in regards to rebates, they're the only retailer at this point that are offering "online rebate submissions".

since the submissions are done online, obviously they rec'v it a lot quicker than the traditional mail-in method.

ER can be quick .... you can expect a cheque w/i 3-4 wks of submission provided there's no prblms w/ it.

and it's also avail. on website/MIR form

[PhoeniX Skye]

Bought one yesterday, 39.21 all in, thanks OP

What would happen if I sent in both the MIR and did the Online Rebate? The dudes there said that all the Logitech rebates are mail only because they screwed up or something... but whatever,they probably don't know what they are talking about.

um... the LT rebates are processed by stooples rebate center, which can be submitted via online or by snail mail.

Hmmm... just out of curiosity, could a place refuse to give the rebate if they see that the transaction was completed at a lower dollar value than the rebate?

Sorry for bringing up a semi-late post.

Same here; no rebate form printed out of the machine.

I came home, checked the SKU and UPC numbers between the box and the rebate form included online. The items don't match up in UPC codes; I am guessing because of Original version and the Revised version. IE the silverish ones compared to the total black ones.

The total black ones came around first, they don't seem eligible for the rebate (which seems effing silly). I got a complete black one; returned it -- didn't want to chance the rebate not working if it was a slightly different model.

[mahjongmaniac]

Hmmm... just out of curiosity, could a place refuse to give the rebate if they see that the transaction was completed at a lower dollar value than the rebate?

course they can... it's stooples :razz: anything can happen at stooples :D

Anyways, I just got one myself. The manger just punched in the numbers and left lol.

interesting... that means some stores still aren't aware of this PM/ER deal... yet. :-0 (to my surprise)

The register didn't print out the rebate form for some reason but whatever.:lol:

i'm not entirely sure about this, but i believe the cashier can control whether or not the MIR form prints out at the till.

[pgfreak]

By the way
this is a good webcam.

I got in on sale for 29.99
I'm very pleased.

[mahjongmaniac]

No I meant, after you sent in the rebate form, if they could just not give you the cash/cheque/debit.

um... they send you a cheque... cash/debit? :confused:

but anyway, the MIR terms/conditions (LT ones in specific) don't specify min. purchase amt., so they've got no grounds to deny a MIR qualification just b/c you purchased it for < the amt of the MIR value.

-------

no they usually wont...in other words, they wont take giving you more money than you paid for into consideration with rebates

errr... i'm guessing you haven't dealt w/ LT rebates too often...

[Slawek]

I did it by snail mail.. meh i'm in no hurry :P

[mahjongmaniac]

I came home, checked the SKU and UPC numbers between the box and the rebate form included online.

you prbly know the diff. already, but just to get rid of confusion in terminology, SKU != UPC

stooples' SKU is 6-digit # (diff. depending on retailer), and the UPC is (usually) some 12-digit barcode located on product pkging (same barcode regardless which store you bought it at )

The items don't match up in UPC codes; I am guessing because of Original version and the Revised version. IE the silverish ones compared to the total black ones.

yes there are actually 2 diff. versions of the STX webcam.

the one that stooples is selling for right now is the newer one.

the older one is this one: http://www.grandandtoy.com/sites/CORP/ProductDetailsPopup.aspx?productCode=961410

http://www.grandandtoy.com/graphics/jh/36200/36278.jpg

The total black ones came around first, they don't seem eligible for the rebate (which seems effing silly). I got a complete black one; returned it -- didn't want to chance the rebate not working if it was a slightly different model.

so yes. if you bought the old one, then of course no MIR form would be printed out :P



EDIT:

http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=614148

I definitely purchased the newer version, but it still failed to print me a proper rebate receipt. Whatever, I just filled out the snail mail version.

This is the one I bought:

upc code : 097855039484 am i right?

Anyone can confirm this?

I don't wanna make any mistakes on the rebate since I didnot get the rebate form either.

[spong]

My take is that since we still need to pay taxes on the rebate ($40x14%)=$5.60, the difference between FS and Stoople is only $4.40 each. Since the difference is so small, I am going to buy that in FS and save me all the headache from filing for a rebate

read the online rebate form....the rebate is only for cams bought from Staples, hence what makes it such a good deal to PM.

[wildson]

Hi MJM, I bought the newer version of the webcam (Yonge/Sheppard) and no problem with price match. However, no rebate form was printed (which is fine). On my receipt there is only the UPC code show up (097855039484) which is same as the one on the box. (BTW, no SKU# printed also)

However, on the mail-in rebate form (pdf), stated that the "Product # 961464-0215 - SKU 656097". i.e. the UPC does not matched!

Is that mean most likely my rebate won't be valid? Would you please shed some light on this issue. Much appreciated! Thanks.

Did anyone get the rebate form in-store?? The staples flyer says 'easy online rebate $40'... this means it is supposed to be submitted online and hence no rebate form was printed?

i'm not sure what the 1st part is, but check the SKU online, and if the product you bought is identical to the one avail. online, then they should be the same.

if not, you might've bought the wrong version.

Is that mean most likely my rebate won't be valid? Would you please shed some light on this issue. Much appreciated! Thanks.

well, i can't tell you much cuz i've no clue if you bought the right one or not....

Did anyone get the rebate form in-store?? The staples flyer says 'easy online rebate $40'... this means it is supposed to be submitted online and hence no rebate form was printed?

the "EOR $40" just means you *could* do the rebate online, hence "easy"...

you could still do it the traditional stnail mail way if you prefer.

if you bought the right product, a MIR form should've printed out

Thanks a lot OP. I got my family a few of these on some separate bills.

A guy behind told my cashier that there was a rebate for the cam and he told the guy that I was here for a PM with Future Shop and didn't even mention anything about the rebate to me. So they just let me buy it at a more expensive price than the one they were offering with their Easy rebate laughing and thinking that they were screwing me over. I just pretended to be stupid and simply smiled at them and bid them a very good day and left with 4 cameras all on separate bills and paid in cash.

Now I'm just waiting on the rebates for which I've requested with four different address.

I don't even know if I should be happy for them to have let me have the easy PM or should I be mad at them for now informing a customer of any potential savings I could've made. haha :-0

Submitted my Easy Rebate for a week and couldn't find my record on their website. Really doubt if they will honor this rebate. :(

Easy Rebates are good, don't worry.
