Great deals at roxy.com, pda's, prepaid wireless minutes

[CmdrTaco]

Kind of a repost from this thread, but there's not much activity on that one, and I have some additional info that makes the deal sweeter...

Roxy.com currently offers 20% off many products if you enter through here. Pretty good deal in and of itself, but if you combine it with ebates, the savings get better.

Here's how it works:
1. Go to roxy.com and find the item you want, and add it to your cart.

2. From this browser window, open up a new window, and go to ebates.com. Select the computers/electronics link and make your way to the roxy store.

3. In this new window, access your shopping cart... your item should still be there.

Now, not only will you get a 10% rebate check from ebates after you purchase, but there's also an automatic $20 off $70 credit... you can get pretty close to 50% off if the item is around $100!

Example of some deals:
Palm VIIx for $400 -20% -$20 -10% = ~$270!
$200 AT&T prepaid wireless cart -20% -$20 -10% = ~$126! That's less than $.095/minute for wireless calls, DOMESTIC LONG DISTANCE INCLUDED!

Roxy.com also sells audio/video gear... if the rest of you find any great deals, post 'em here...

I am looking into some prepaid wireless deals, but the $.90 seems quite high, no? Suncom, a local provider, has $.40 a minute prepaid and that national one you see selling the phone in places like CompUSA and CC seems to charge ~$.80 a minute...

You know of any that sell the minutes and they don't expire in, say, 90 days?

helpless.. try bigzoo.com./.. i've been using their cards for more than 2 years.. they charge 3c a min.. and very reliable..

 

[CmdrTaco]

uh, helpless, that's $.09, or 9 cents/minute, not 90 cents. This is a really good deal... I can't believe more people aren't jumping on this...

mukzz, are you sure that's 3 cents/minute for wireless? That would be an unbelievably good deal. Casual browsing of the bigzoo.com home page seems to indicate that that rate is for regular phone cards...

I just got an email from Roxy saying that my order for some ATT prepaid cards will not be filled. They're out of stock and will no longer carry the cards.

Are there any other sources for the ATT prepaid cards?

 

[nuttervm]

you the cmdrtaco from /. ? what an honor to have you visit my home away from home.

sorry about the OT, just kinda surprising

How come www.roxy.com has those cards on their website marked "in stock" but says that they will no longer carry them? Also their is a huge number of orders not shipped, but you are the first reporting a cancel email- did you call trying to investigate?

My order for ATT prepaid cards vanished altogether (along with the CC auth)...never received a cancellation email or any other contact from them.:|

 

[Healey]

I received an email from them in response to my inquiry about my order.

So there's no other source for discounted ATT prepaid cards?

Helpless was asking for WIRELESS phone cards, not a regular calling card. You know the prepaid Cell Phone cards. I'm also looking for something like this Helpless, the only thing in my area seems to be that Tracfone.

I ordered $50 cards, got them today, activated Mot phone from Amazon. It shows $200 cards in stock, rest are backordered. Where does it say they don't carry it?
