Maxtor 160GB Harddrive...$160...HOT? MFR + AMEX

[jimmygates]

CompUSA has the Maxtor 160GB Retail Kit Harddrive for $299.99. There is a rebate from Maxtor for $50 that is valid from April 4 - 13 at CompUSA. Also PM this drive to vendors on Pricewatch @ $209.

$299.99
-$ 50.00 Maxtor Rebate for CompUSA
-$ 90.00 AMEX Pricematch against Upgrade-Solutions @ $209
--------------
$159.99 + shipping/taxes



Probably not as good as the Western Digital 120GB PM/MFR deal but I think $1 per GB is pretty good.

is the rebate for compusa only? If it is from maxtor, I can buy directly from upgrade solution, right?

 

[jimmygates]

Actually the rebate is from Maxtor specifically for CompUSA.

Wow nice find. I am sure that the price of this drive will drop more in the next 2 months.

Pretty tempting...

I thought AMEX didn't do PM's any more?

 

[jimmygates]

I believe PM's stop May 1, 2002?

Only the BLUE card will loose the ability to price match

There are still people on this forum with AMEX cards that can price match

Please tell me specifically which Amex cards still have PM ability?

Thanks

that pricematch is for an OEM White Box drive.

as for amex pm's, i think the only free one is the platinum optima or something like that.
