quickNdirty said:I'm unsure why glassvial would say it's YMMV on the PM; CC's policy states they'll gladly pm 110% of the difference against their own sale prices:

Price Guarantee
If you've seen a lower advertised price from another local store with the same item in stock, we want to know about it. Bring it to our attention, and we'll gladly beat their price by 10% of the difference. If you see a lower advertised price (including our own sale prices) within 30 days of your purchase, we'll refund 110% of the difference.

Our policy applies only to advertised prices. It does not apply to special offers or promotions, including rebates, free-with-purchase offers and special financing.It's very simple, because it's a BF PM, not your average every day PM. Last time I tried to PM at Circus City on BF, they said we're not PM'ing today, "it's just too crazy" ... this was said by a girl who was literally standing around doing nothing, I might add. Either my CC has really bad management (highly likely) or CC PM's on BF are YMMV

You wouldn't use the new rebate form for a price adjustment, only if you did a return/rebuy- for which there is no reason to do so as you already have a $50 MIR available now. That means you get a two week jump on getting the rebate process started, as opposed to having to wait and send it in then, when everyone and their mother will be flooding their mailbox.

Glassvial- Maybe I'm not being clear; you don't have to do the price adjustment "ON" BF- only have to have the ad to PM to during the valid 30 day period. So while you may have had someone tell you they were "too busy" to do the adjustment that day, that doesn't mean you can't get the PM the day after, or the day after that, etc.

Sure, except that's not how the PM policy reads. " If you see a lower advertised price (including our own sale prices) within 30 days of your purchase, we'll refund 110% of the difference."

Note it doesn't say "you must PM the day the advertisement is valid, or "within a 6 hour window"- it says "lower advertised price within 30 days of purchase".

No need to argue about it, I've been there, done it, it's the policy. No skin off my nose.

Oh, and not everything in the ad is a 6 hour special.

Oh, and not everything in the ad is a 6 hour special. True, but this unit is. And you must have a lot more lenient CC than I do, around here they're hard-a's about PM'ing anything, period.

Funny, as I don't see anything on the ad scan that says that- care to show me where it is? The only page I see anything about "limited availablity" items is the first page. Also- this isn't a PM; its a price adjustment to their own lower price, which is what makes it so easy. You're not trying to PM some other stores BF price, it's their own.

It's a walk in the park.

QnD

LOL!

No thanks, I'll stick to mine which follows their corporate price adjustment policies.

Since the available reviews indicate the overall owners experience as positive -vs the Teletype which from what I've read here and SD seems like a big buggy POJ- and given the over $100 price difference...I'm pretty certain this is a hot deal as is.

QnDBut the mio doesn't have text-to-speech, the TT does...again unless someone figures out how to hack the mio then you could load a gps software on it that does have T-T-S, then it would be mega hot

It seems they have text-to-speech on the previous version c310. However the software of c310 is not as good as c310x's which is iGo. Any boby has some idea? which one is better, c310 or c310x? text-to-speech or iGo? Thanks!!!

What are the odds of being able to do a return/rebuy on BF at CC?

No rebate now at CC, so I'd have to buy it now and do a return/rebuy on BF to qualify for the lower price and the rebate.

Do retailers have general rules against allowing return/rebuys on BF?

I guess worst case, I push them to give me a PM of $379-$199=$180+$18(10%)=$198 and get it for $181 which is still a pretty good deal.

What do you think is the best way to play this?

Thanks!!!Well supposedly staypulls will have the 310 unit on BF also, which is odd because my local store doesn't even have that model. Question is, will it be the 310 or the 310x?
I'm guessing it is actually the c310 at Staples since that's what they're fine print states. Newegg also carries the c310, so it is still out there.

I wonder ... if I get a c310x at CUSA/CC, can I reload a Staples c310 from the c310x installation disk to effectively upgrade to iGo?
