It took two tries, but I finally got a CSR to agree to pricematch BB's after-rebate price. The first CSR said no after-rebate PM's, regardless of whether it was BB-specific or manufacturer's rebate. I then asked CSR #1 to check in their database for a record of the BB PM as precedent. The CSR said the database showed a note stating not to honor the BB rebated pricematch. On my second call, a different CSR didn't ask if the rebate was from BB or manuf, didn't go talk to the supervisor, and didn't check the database--she just went ahead approved the PM.

I then tried several coupons. The $30 off $150 coupon I tried was dead, but a $20 off $100 coupon worked for me. Another interesting potential coupon option I considered was to increase my order up to $150, then apply a coupon for a free duffle bag plus a 5 inch B/W TV (coupon expires today). The TV/duffle bag coupon worked for me too, but not in combination with the $20 off $100 , so I stuck with the $20 off coupon.

Not too shabby, too bad my state sales tax is so high (but at least it's free shipping).

Thanks for posting the deal muffstah.

Yeah, the deal died on Saturday midnight. You are two days late.
 
Check out the new deal. You should have no problem pricematching this drive with the rebate since the rebate is exclusively for Amazon only.

got them to pricematch with amazon.com
took 2 phone calls for that because they had to get it approved because it wasn't approved previously they said. but they went ahead and did it. So with the 110% pricematch, it came down to ~$113 each. *2 = $226
$50 coupon + $20 coupon brings it down to ~$156 shipped for both 🙂

holy crap: just noticed amazon.com doesn't have the rebate anymore. Looks like i barely got in on this deal

now that does suck..🙁
