Bump for an ending deal.
Placed my order this morning and already shipped UPS 2nd day air. Crutchfield is a great place to buy from.
And for those of you who are thinking of getting in, I did some calculations:
1) If you just order normally without a coupon, you get
$399.95 + $9.95 s/h = $409.90
PM the $399.95 to $255.00 and get $144.95 back
MSN gives you $80 back
Total cost = $184.95 for the receiver alone.
2) If you order with the coupon and nothing else, you get
$399.95 - $25 coupon + $9.95 s/h = $384.90
PM the $374.95 (not sure if this is right) to $255.00 and get $119.95 back
MSN gives you $60 back
Total cost = $204.95 for the receiver alone.
3) If you order with the coupon and add $16 of stuff to get over $400, you get
$399.95 + $16 - $25 coupon + $9.95 s/h = $400.90
PM the $375.91 (not sure if this is right) to $255.00 and get $120.91 back
MSN gives you $80 back
Total cost = $199.99 for receiver and $16 of stuff
Not sure how exactly AmEx deals with the coupon but I calculated the percentage that the coupon takes off the entire purchase and applied that discount to the $399.95 to get $375.91 in the 3rd example. If that's how AmEx does it, then you pay $15.04 for $16 of stuff. If they take off the whole $25, then they'd PM $374.95 to $255.00 and you'd only get $119.95 back and you'd end up paying $16 for $16 of stuff.
However, if I'm wrong in 2 and 3, and they PM the before coupon prices, then those would be the better options. Sorry for the long post, hope someone finds it useful. I did it the 1st way because I didn't want to complicate things.
