Whats the employ discount? Specifically on TVs.

i work there part time... but will probably get canned after not showing up this entire week...

the discount actually varies per manufacturer...

like hitatchi and samsung you get the best discounts with sony you don't get much...

like when i was shopping for 50inch tvs... the sony that i liked was only 2099 after my discount the msrp was 2499... the hitatchi was 1899 after the discount and the msrp was 2499... so it really just depends on the tv...

also when you use the discount you cant use any free financing offers so you have to pay all up front...

needless to say i ended up going to best buy and getting that sony and using a 10% off coupon and getting 18 months to pay it off... roughly cost me a 150 more but i got time to pay off my tv now.

you need a job to pay off the tv, regardless of how long the financing is

haha, true... but i have a full time job and do the cc thing part time...

my full time job pays rather well and i only did the cc thing because i found my self getting bored after i got off at work @ 3 everyday and i wasn't allowed to work over time yet...

but now that i have a xbox 360 and i will be allowed to work overtime next month i really don't need the part time gig anymore,

Ok, thx. I was looking at the Panny plasmas and the Hitachi Ultravision RPTVs. I've got a friend that works that but he's not off work yet so I guess I'll give him a call later.

I had friend that used to work there he got a five finger discount.

To kill time and for some entertainment you decided to get a part-time job at CC?
