HOT STAPLES SUNDAY 1/5-1/11 deal - envision 17" monitor, FAR software, FAR wite out, get paid ~$30 after rebate

[noodles1]

I'm going to keep my monitor inside the box until the rebate gets approved . What else can I do ?
Too bad that they don't make the substitute and OK on the rebate for it " official " .

I made an inquiry regarding the rebate on the substituted product on the StaplesRebates.com website.

eh not really. i got my moniter on tuesday since i ordered early. no hassles and being sure of getting my $80 back is well worth going for the flat screen model IMO

I was able to get the last one at our local Staples and it was the Flat Screen on. They already knew about the substitution and even printed out a rebate page for me. Used the $30 off coupon and will file for the $80 rebate. A good deal that got better.

Thanks for everything.

yes it is in new jersey. i got excellent ping playing from my dorm in NY. fastest server i've played versus numerous clan servers

i think they are going to set up a west coast server, like in seattle or something soon.

Hmm, so this monitor really got the discontinue? It's funny, I checked on Saturday morning and the monitor was finally listed on the website again. So I quickly ordered and got some paperclips to make the order ~$151 and applied $30 off $150 coupon.

Now I check my order and it's still in processing for both items.

Thumbs up for Staples.

Last week, my friend ordered monitor 710 and subsituted with 775. Today he found out, the order was not in properly, so the order was cancelled. A phone call to Staples, no rebate to do, he got $50 coupon and $80 rebate deducted from total price. "Will buy again from Staples."

 

[METALWORK]

Received $80 rebate check today for 775E. The postcard/check format makes me a little nervous, always glad to get it. This was FAST. Go figure.

wow, if that works, that is pretty cool. if there is an extant $30 off $150 coupon, you could just get the monitor for $40 after rebate too.

i got this monitor back on bf from staples for $57, worth it i guess, but there are alot better monitors out there.
