uh..if you read the uppermost post you'll see a link to the original thread on this chair..but I'll expedite for you..

I checked the rebate form, said valid until Sept. 18, 2004. On sale for 50, 50MIR, seems ok to me.

Gotta love it, but their ad mentions nothing of the rebate. Looks legit, may have to go for this deal, along with the thumbdrive!

OK, I was able to get the ad scans from mgreen2, which are clearer than the ones that are posted now and I converted them to pdf files, if someone can host the files PM me and I will email them to you, they're about 256KB each.

Update: blackwidow is hosting the ads

I added a little eye catcher to his instructions ... just in case the links didn't work.

Pasting the URL worked fine for me.

Maybe they consider you a foe. Did you accidentally make the ATHD secret sign in view of a store associate?
:p

The flyers will be available in store. Our store passes out special buy flyers to everybody who comes in.

If you have the ad that makes you a "friend". ;)

As a number of people have pointed out in this thread in most stores copies of the ad will be stacked near the door so anyone who wants one can grab a copy.

Has anyone else tried phoning an OfficeMax for varification?
I just called a store here in Phoenix and they know nothing about it.

I just called another store and the same answer. However, I have the feeling they were holding something back. I'm beginning to think that this is an internal sale, as the ad says, for employees, etc, only.

Can you buy these items TODAY and take your receipt back tomorrow for a price match / correction to the one day sale price?

Printed copies of the ad have been used successfully in past Officemax friends and family one day sales.

Umm..i was checking the rebate form for the chair and it said:

"Offer not valid with any other rebates, offers or promotions"

Wouldn't the $50 off with coupon be considered another offer/promotion?

Just want to be sure before I bother to try and drive all the way to the closest OM and attempt to get one in the first 5 minutes of opening before they're sold out.... :D

hey guys, just got back from OM. The people there are being really hush hush about the whole thing. No ads out, signs up, or anything else. I had to ask one of the salespeople about it and they reluctantly told me that they were holding the friends and family promotion tomorrow. They also said that they'd offer a faxed copy of the flyer. Looks like another YMMV deal, but worth a shot if you have an OM near you.

I saw the thumbdrives out on shelves but the chair was nowhere to be found. We'll see tomorrow.

the rebate will not work. called an officemax here in san antonio and spoke with the store manager. he said about 3 people had already asked him today and he said it was a no go.
