WOOOT!!! I called about 3 ppl before I got it, but finally got a guy who applied it. $20 off woot! I just kept telling them I forgot to apply a coupon when I placed the order. BTW, they have some silly rule about they can't apply coupon if its AFTER the day you got the package. So tell them you got it today. Or if you haven't gotten it tell them you haven't received it yet.
Time: ~ 3 hrs. Before coupon expires

Wow! Definitely a hot deal. But also a YMMV deal with people getting shot down. I'll just keep trying.
Good thing they didn't ask me if it had arrived yet! I applied the coupon and got the credit after it was in my possession. Sweat Deal all around!
I'ld like to know where that AT'er got it for $20! I smell BS!

Uhm, I have "seen" a few of the $20 codes, do you think any/all of them would work?
If you got one of the kindler, gentler CSRs, that is.
I got hit by the tax fairy when I ordered yesterday.

$85.59 - $10 rebate - $10 rebate + 0.64 (2 stamps) - $20 "unacceptable coupon" = $46.23 final cost, hopefully (in about 8-10 weeks, that is )
