Kingston 128M USB keydrive $10 @ CC (PM/AR)

[papaschtroumpf]

Saw this on FW and did it myself so it works:

Kingston 128M USB disk: $49.99 with $27 in rebates
The same item is $37.36 at compUSA.com (see link below)

PM CC to CUSA and you should get almost $15 back (110% + tax), send in your $27 in rebates and final price should be about $10.

Notes:
- this drive is not USB 2.0
- pricematch at CC is YMMV but the compUSA page I linked to doesn't show any rebates so CC should match it since it's an "out the door" price
- CC usually only matches B&M stores in the same area. The compUSA item says "not available in stores" in one spot and "not available in all stores" in another, so if the CC CSR picks up on that it could be reason enough to deny it.

It worked for me, and USB1 is good enough for my use so I'm happy with my purchase. IT's up to you to decide for yourself if you care to do the same or not.


Item at circuit city

same item at compUSA print this page for PM

I thought that CC jumped on the bandwagon with BB, and if you PM an item, you no longer can redeem store rebates on the item? Since $15 of that savings is a CC store rebate, the price might be a bit higher if rejected. IMHO, a slightly better deal is the 256MB USB drive at Microcenter for $50 or so, no rebates.

Edit here's the link for the 256MB USB 2.0 drive at Microcenter.

If you do get both the mfg, and the CC store rebates, after PM'ing to CUSA, then yes, your deal is certainly hotter. I'm a little unsure if that's possible though.

I work at CC and I was turning ppl away all day because it was out of stock at CompUSSR.

what's this thing about CC not paying rebates if the price was adjusted? can anyone confirm? I haven't seen anything to that effect

I guess I am lucky to have this product from CC for PM with compusa, which is not for sale in-store. First purchased the product, after 40 mins I returned to customer service and requested for a price match. And ... she did. Cool ayn't it. Not only that, I got another PM on different product. Link

Thanks to all.

Well its not a hot deal for me if its not usb 2
I liked the 64 meg for $10 deal at officemax for a USB 2 one.
But some peopel would rather have the meggage.
