I just got a call from GiftCertificates.com confirming my order! (They needed my 4-digit pin from my AMEX Blue)

this is just basically buy anything for $300 for $250 correct? I think you should change the topic which reflects it being a XBOX only.

This isnt a spend $250 get $300 towards a purchase anywhere deal, it only works at specefic places. This deal goes great with the XBOX, there is also an additional $5 off!

Okay, I just redeemed both and ordered 3 $100 KBToys certificates! Looks like this is going to work like a charm!

Mmmmmm Juicy.......


May be a way to get another $10 off...
While you are waiting for the GC's to come go to the grocery store and pickup a package of Dole Fruit Bowls.. They have $10 cash codes printed on the inside of the package that can be used at kbtoys.com (actually dole says kbkids.com but that takes you to kbtoys.com) go to Dole deals for more info......


[EDIT] I just had an Idea... I wonder if I can figure a way to cash in 30 $10 Cash Codes for 30 $10 KB Toys Gift Certificates....;) Free Xbox and Lots of Fruit!:D[/EDIT]

I may pick up an xbox... Now the only question is where are all of the Xbox hacking sites????

<< I may pick up an xbox... Now the only question is where are all of the Xbox hacking sites???? >>


LOL, thats exactly what I'm waiting for, here's one I found, not that much there yet though... XBox Hacker Site

I did the deal just now anyway so it still works of anybody cares - the confirmation will show up during checkout; I can always find some store that supercertificates can be converted into to use the GC's if I decide not to go with the xbox, $300 for $252 is just too good to pass up...

You can use up to 7 $10 dole codes (at least thats what I gathered from the site)...

I would still like to know exactly how the dole thingy works...

<< Okay, just called KBToys for more clarification... You can use as many GIFT CARDS as you want in an order (I assume that is what GiftCertificates.com sends you). So this is a HOTTT deal!!!! >>

Seriously, someone should explore the Dole fruit bowl situation to see if we can knock off a little bit more. every little bit helps. If
we can use as many GCs at KB as we want then this could turn up the heat a little.

I read the Dole site and it was clear to me that you can only use one $10 code per retailer.

"You can redeem only one $10 offer at each online retailer listed below. The activation code and PIN# is valid for only one purchase."

So you can reduce the cost of the Xbox by only $10, and that's assuming that it would be stackable with the gift certificates/cards.

going to the dole site, under promotions, i read:

<FONT color=#003399>"It takes just a few minutes and you will be shopping online with a $10 discount. You can redeem up to 7 online cash codes. You can redeem only one $10 offer at each online retailer listed below. The activation code and PIN# is valid for only one purchase.</FONT> "

So I think it's only $10 off at one time per store...though I could be wrong.

And since it's valid at 7 different stores, it starts to make a little sense...

The ingenuity of the members on this board never fails to amaze me. Great deal on a product that doesnt look to drop in price any time soon!

Just be careful, the word has it that Giftcertificates.com is on the same happy plane to dot-com heaven that Flooz took. Get in and get it quick if you do this deal. I think F&uuml;ckedcompany had some recent info on a new round of layoffs and money losses.

So can we enter in more than one gc code online or not? I know we can always order by phone, but doing it that way loses out of the ebates 2% cash back, plus you might not get the $5 off either.

its been asked but i didnt see an answer. i know you redeem your supercertificates for Gift certificates for KB Tos but how long do they take to show up by snail mail??

KTG said These are paper certificates that come in the mail; emailable GCs not available (at least not at this time). Then either take them to a KBTOys store and buy the Xbox that way, or try to redeem them over the phone via KBToys.com.

so how long do they take to show up by snail mail??

I've ordered from giftcertificates.com before and they always shipped it promptly. The limiting factor would be how fast usps can deliver them, which can be a few days or over a week depending where you are.

what is this about on the kbtoys.com website "Sorry, you can't use coupons or certificates to purchase Gift Cards"

Link


Edit: the kbtoys gc's are from giftcertificates.com right....

Giftcertificates.com sends you gift cards not gift certificates (at least that is what they said). KBToys.com will accept as many gift cards as you have in one order (at least that is what they said). This should work out perfectly...
