how do i pm staples online? Thanks.

Since you're using a coupon, I think you're pretty much stuck with using a PM card like Amex blue

 

[marill999]

actually u wouldpm b4 the coupon to use both! i would suggest doing this in-store w/ the new $30 off $150 in-store coupon (expires 4/12/02)

You'll have to be real lucky for it to work. YMMV. Staples uses your coupon to get to the price match, not after price PM, example would be if you buy an item from Staples for $199 and you have a $30 coupon the net price is $169. If the item is available from another company for $165, the price match will be for $4.40 (110% of the difference).

i hate to say this, but marill999 is right. if you do it online, you would have to get a really nice or naive csr for it to fly. even w/ staples so call new pm policy, i've been able to successfully price match and use coupons in a b&m w/ no problems. got my jornada keyboard for $40 by pm to overstock.com.

 

[marill999]

nearly 95% of all staples employees/managers dont apply coupon b4 pm even til now! w/ the new policy!

Has any1 gotten this to work? Can i use the 40 off 200 at bm and then pricematch it the nxt day?

 

[RossMAN]

All I have to say is good luck, YMMV.

[marill999]
