You don't have to charge the purchase to a BB account do you? Because the coupons I received via snail mail were only good using the BB credit card. Booooo! No Way!
Dunno about having too but I did anyway because it is same as 60 or 90 days cash, I think. Usually use Discover but not on this...hopefully receive the rebate prior to having to pay for monitor!!!
I just got a Samsung 191T LCD using the coupon. 19" LCD. $899 - 10% - $100 rebate.
A friend of mine tried to do the same thing at the same store just five seconds after me but the clerk wouldn't let him do it. But since I just got mine processed, he let my friend get the 10% off as well.
So the moral of the story is, it all depends on who the cashier is on whether or not you can use it on an LCD.
Of course I'm not entirely sure I want to keep this though. I might get the Dell-branded version instead.

I just got another 10% off coupon in this months Rolling Stone Magazine. I already used 1 10% off coupon for my BFG GeForce4 card from the BB Black Friday sale. The funny thing is that I got the subscription for free too from this forum.

holee: Just curious, but why would you want the Dell branded one instead? I thought they were identical...
better price? 
I tried to take advantage of the Samsung 17" as well but I was denied the discount for the very same reasons above. I guess Dell is in the dark ages, because they also refer to a monitor as a peripheral.
Perhaps I should've been more persistent like Mac and gone to the CSR desk (I had no special customer service needs otherwise). Anyhow, the girl at the checkout counter scanned my coupon but the discount wasn't showing up. They called someone with a greater authority who proceeded to read the coupon and then told me monitors aren't in the included list and even though the list isn't meant to be all-inclusive, "a monitor isn't a peripheral." Hell, even dictionary.com has it right:
Anyway, I pointed out to the sales rep that the list on the coupon was NOT all-inclusive but he didn't budge, once again claiming the ineligibility of monitors for this discount. I didn't feel like getting into semantics with him, being the disfunctional impatient person Iam, so I bought it at the price listed.
However, I have since found the rebadged Dell for $400 and it is currently enroute to my abode. (I couldn't quite get it down to $370 due to the TX sales tax). Hence, Best Buy will have lost another potential sell due to their stubbornness and word games.

What issue of Rolling Stone did you find the coupon in?
Just found it, it's in the Jan, 9, 2003 issue on pg 34
Better price, as someone else pointed out.
One of the reasons I wanted to get the Samsung version is because it has the pivot stand, so you can rotate the LCD 90 degrees. It's actually pretty cool, so you don't have to scroll down a page when you're writing a document or surfing. The Dell one comes with a fixed, non-rotating stand.
However, I thought that the pivot feature was auto-detecting, that is the monitor realizes when it's been twisted, so it changes the perspective automatically. Instead you have to turn the feature on within the included software every time you rotate the screen. And that was the only reason I was going to get the Samsung model. Even after the 10% and rebate, the Dell one is still around $50 cheaper.
This is a nice monitor though. The more I look at it, the less I want to give it up. If this supported higher than 1280 resolution, I'd be in heaven.
it's in the rolling stones double-sized issue page 38 i think
the 2003 holiday games guide on page 65 <how yawl like me NOW! haha! THAT is why right there!>
and spin has the $10 off $50 or more, which can be actually hotter or colder
happy holidays to THOSE who KNOW the DEAL!
