So is this for BB employees or? This sounds quite promising, "20% off many accessories" .

how about video cards? this sale does sound like something different, and being for only 3 hours maybe the selection of items will be larger than normal. however, we 'll never ever know unless the coupon is scanned by posted by someone.

First of all, the Wednesday thing is ONLY for a specific region. i.e. unless you live in the same part of the country as the OP, they won't be doing it Wed night. For example, most of the eastern seaboard is having theirs on Monday. Second of all, you need an employee's signature so I hope you have that. Third of all, it is entirely true. I don't remember the fine print, but it is 20% off accessories and 12% off "other" stuff. And why doesn't someone just start an e-mail chain? Can't be that high-res of a scan

Hosting till midnight tonite.

Here

(1) No reverse side with details. So this is still not helpful.
(2) Valid employee name required? This may kill it for those of you who don't know a BB employee.

Do you have to receive the flyer or email to be eligible or is it for all customers who show up? I wish they would make it longer than 3 hours so it's not so crowded and rushed.

It says on the back that the categores include:

home theatre $299 and up, digital cameras, digital camcorders, photo, film, printers, ink, paper, home office equipment, music, movies, and video games software and PC software, appliances, wireless phones and mobile electronics. Excludes new releases, Bose audio products, MartinLogan, REL, Primare, Sonusfaber, Tivoli, Vienna Acoustics, SpeakerCraft, Boston Avideo, DIRECTV, digital SLR cameras, Apple iPod, satellite radio service, cinema systems, video game hardware, pay-as-you-go wireless phones, Samsung HomePAD refrigerators, Maytag Neptune, Maytag Double Oven, Whirlpool Duet, Calypso washers, Senseon dryers, Polara ranges, GE Profile Harmony washers and dryers

Looks like video cards are good for the offer since it doesn't exclude it.

Anyone got the hookups for the Emeryville, CA BB? I know BB employees, but only in southern california and getting a sig might be hard when im stuck in Berkeley.

I didn't/don't know about the signature thing. I received the flyer (from a BB associate) with the employee name section blank so I'm assuming it's okay.

(2) I don't think a employee name is required since that's how a BB employee gave it to me -- blank.


If you guys want a scan of the back side too (and a higher res. of the front side), I'm having a friend scan it in for me later tonight when he gets back home later tonight. Hopefully someone can host them too.

I don't think the 20% applies on things excluded, but probably the more exclusive "categories included."

That being said... do you guys think this will work on a logitech mx700 duo and/or a notebook cordless mouse?

Yeah I want to know if there is 12% , 20% or no percent off of video cards as well. Otherwise I am not going to go thru the trouble of getting a signature.

thanks

I'm not sure about the employee signature. I work at a Semiconductor company about 5 miles from the Best Buy in Melbourne Florida. Someone went through our parking lot and put one on the windshield of every car - close to 800 of them. No signatures on any of them...

It's Monday evening at the Melbourne store.

I dont think they could legally exclude the general public since the store is open to everyone that night.

Sounds to me like the East coast is tonight and Wednesday is the West Coast...Central may be Tues?
