<< Is your advice is good for the printer available in online stock, or any retail location? Currently, it is out of stock in online delivery, but
available some locations of my area. Can you advise me how I can get $20 off? Still, do I have to 10% off dicsount gift(discount) card?

kyudrew,
U need the 10% discount card to get it. I used it in local store in DC Area. The sales guy actually told me that the instant $50 gift card for this printer is actually for online only sales but by mistake got advertised in this weeks CC ad flyer which u can pick up at the store too. So, he had to get me those discounts with special help from manager.

Got the Sony DSC-S85 from Ritz who offered to PM with DELL, PhotoAlley or even OneCall.com. All of them have 10% sale on Digicams. With Ritz PM has to be done in 3 or less days. Once I get this, I can work with Amex Blue to match it with RegencyCamera.

Here's the combo deal using 2 MSN PAssport Accounts

Epson Printer: $199 @CC B&M
Sony DSC-S85: $799 @RitzCamera.com
2 Memory Sticks: $300 @CrutchField (2 128MB)
------------------------------------------------
Total Paid: $1298
-------------------------------------------------
MSN Rebate: - 100 for Camera
MSN Rebate: - 60 for Memory Stick
Epson Rebate: - 100
Sony Memory Stick Rebate: - 50
CC Gift Card: -50
CC 10% GiftCard: -20
Blue PM on Printer: - 25
Blue PM on Camera: - 230
Blue PM on Memory Sticks: - 96
-------------------------------------------
Total Rebates: - 731
---------------------------

Final Price = $567 (for Sony DSC-S85 Digicam, 2 128MB Memory Sticks, and Epson 785 Printer)

Not a bad deal. If 800.com is part of MSN deal I could have got 2 more GCs from 800.com for $75 and $50. Oh boy, that would have been the REAL ATers type deal. Then the final price would be $442.

P.S. I was able to use Blues Private Payments Numbers on MSN and still get MSN rebates.
 
Can I set up two or more accounts with MSN and try to get rewards under my(same) name & same address only with different e-mail address?
I was wondering it because there is a limit of $100 per person for the rewards.
 


<< Where can I find web only rebate for $50 on this printer at circuitcity.com? I can only see $50 gift card and $100 mail-in rebate. >>



You're right. It's a gift card, not a rebate. I didn't read the form completely.
I did the deal last night but it got messed up. The store manager said that the web order for the $199.99 printer didn't qualify for the $200 minimum for the 10% gift card. So he refunded my money and sent me to rebuy it on the web and he was going to help get the price to $200 even. Unfortunately, the printer that I didn't pick up didn't reappear in their web-based inventory, so I couldn't reorder it. I wandered over to the 785EPX display, and the sign advertised a $50 instant gift card. Because the 10% discount is one time only, he gave me 10% off immediately. My net price was
$129.99 printer
$50 gift card
$10.40 Ca tax (on $129.99, not on $199.99!)
---------------------------
$190.39 total on credit card
-$50 gift card value for free after rebate stuff
-$100 MIR with digicam purchase
--------------------------
$40.39 net

With this price, I can't price match against Buy.com, but at least I got my printer this year instead of next if I had left my Dell order in place.🙂

By the way, my receipt says "a promotional discount has been applied to item 2", i.e., the printer, so I doubt if anyone could use my receipt to PM.

I did that using the same Blue Card with 2 Private numbers that AMEX generates for single use to prevent online fraud. they worked fine for me. Only trick, I used different names on MSN accounts. Like one for me and the other for my wife. So, the name on hte credit card and addresses were same on both accounts. No problems. Legally, they are 2 different people so, worked fine. Too bad I waiting long to find this out and 800.com dropped out of this deal. Everything looks so expensive with them in the deal!!!
