WD 120gb SE $38.99 at BB AR/PM to Fry's 2 days left

[FreakyGuy]

Best Buy currently has an in-store deal on this drive Dec 4 - Dec 6 SKU 4654181

$129.99 - $60 rebate - $10 rebate = $59.99

Fry's has the drive on sale for $108.99 Fry's AD

So PM the drive at BB to Fry's

$108.00 - $60 rebate - $10 rebate = $38.99

[meices]

Damn, that's crafty, yo'

to bad there's not a Fry's in my area, so BB wont price match them

Does BB honor rebates after a PM? I thought I remembered something about their policy changing about that.

I've done it before, I'm in! Thx

I'm going to give this a try during lunch today.

No-go for me - the person at the CS desk stated exactly that.

I just got mine, the cashier didn't mention anything about it being a problem, but then again how would she know. The other thing is that the $60 rebate is through WD, and they should not have a problem with it. If I loose out on the $10 deal, I still saved $10 for the pricemnatch... though 38.99 would be smokin'

The $10 rebate states "Items which have been competitive price matched, price adjusted, will no longer be eligible for this rebate.

Now I wonder how to handle this one. On the $60 rebate it goes to the Western Digital rebate Center in TX, WD Rebate Info. Though the rebate reciept says to call Best Buy to check the status. I think I'm bringing it back. Too risky.

i tried to do this as best buy before


when frys had a 160 gb maxtor for $119 - 40 . best buy didnt have any rebate, but i tried to get them to match it down to $79 mostly becasue i was too lazy to drive to frys and was already at best buy.

they said no, and that you cant pricematch rebates among their stores either.

i did get the rebate from frys though so it all worked out well, just had to drive farther.

Hmm didn't know that.

Even if you buy the drive at Best Buy today. The Best Buy sale ends Saturday night Dec 6. You could buy the drive now and go back for a pricematch on Sunday - Tuesday. Fry's ad is good till Tuesday December 9th. The rebate reciepts will have the original purchase date on them at the $129.99 price.

I bought the drive Thursday night and pricematched it Friday morning.

Anyone have a copy of the UPC for this drive? I got in on the OM deal for this drive about a month ago, and OM "lost" my copy of the UPC. I didn't make two copies (*d'oh*).

can anyone PM me if they have an extra?

Thanks,

-Jeff

Considering that the serial number is now part of the UPC code that you submit, I think you're SOL.

The serial on the drive is the same so perhaps a little photoshop is in order?

For those who bought the drive last week, this week fry's has the drive at $98.99, I price matched it yesterday for another $10 saving.

$129.99 - $60 rebate - $10 rebate = $59.99

Fry's had the drive on sale for $108.99

PM the drive at BB to Fry's

$108.00 - $60 rebate - $10 rebate = $38.99

NEW Price match

$98.99 - $60 rebate - $10 rebate = $28.99
