.Edited to add this incredible deal.

I price matched to BB and the deal worked very well for me I guess.

TV Came to 569.99 ($1599.99 - $300 (CC PM) - 10% CC coupon - $600 (Direct TV + Install))
Home installation $200 (Panasonic $200 rebate should take care of it)
H20 Receiver $99
I took 4 year warranty for $249.99 which I am going to cancel. I don't think a $569.99 TV needs a @249.99 warranty.

Bottom Line, I got the TV for $569.99 + Tax

Good luck guys. Just wanted to encourage all to try. Here is the scanned receipt. I of course removed some sensitive info.

Receipt Scan

Of course, I will get few dollars back via Reward Zone and my AMEX one card.

U beat me by a few mins! Hah!

Would you better off doing this deal at BBinstead?

how does one obtain the 10% off coupon??????????
thanks
burtshell

Where did you get 10% CC coupon?
Could you post the scan copy?
TIA...

nice work op

Thanks a ton, man.
BTW, where is the BB you bought your set?
(Well, I went to 2 BBs in my hood this afternoon. Their offer is the same..."either" a PM or a HD-upgrade. No double dip. Yeah, they suck !!!

KVA said: Bestbuy is showing 1599 how can you price match ?? can you give me the details of direct tv deal ?

Thanks

BB has it for 1599
CC has it on sale today for $1399 (Same price as BF. Check cc web site)
CC also has a 10% of coupon

BB price matched the price and coupon (I also had BB 10% reward Zone coupon which came by mail)
So the price came to $1169

Now, sign up for direct tv HD or upgrade to direct TV HD ($99)(The deal may not be good if you do not want direct tv. There are similar deals with HD cable TV too)
Sign up for professional installation ($200)

The register takes of $600 from the price of the TV. (Its supposed to take only $400 off, but it takes of $600)
This makes price of the TV $569

There is a $200 rebate from Panasonic for installation
There is a $100 rebate from Direct TV for HD receiver

This makes the price of the TV $569 with professional installation. Then you pay for your monthly direct TV programming.
Hope this helps.

Thank you minnjj... is there any contract for Direct TV ? how much per month is the minimum I have to pay ?

Doesn't sound that hot to me, - call me a party pooper. $40 a month = $480 a year, so that makes the TV just over $1k again for a service I wouldn't be interested it.

whicjh BB did you get this deal at?

I price matched to BB and the deal worked very well for me I guess.

TV Came to 569.99 ($1599.99 - $300 (CC PM) - 10% CC coupon - $600 (Direct TV + Install))
Home installation $200 (Panasonic $200 rebate should take care of it)
H20 Receiver $99 (Direct TV $100 rebate shound take care of this. I also heard about portable DVD player rebate)

I took 4 year warranty for $249.99 which I am going to cancel. I don't think a $569.99 TV needs a @249.99 warranty.

Bottom Line, I got the TV for $569.99 + Tax

Good luck guys. Just wanted to encourage all to try. Here is the scanned receipt.

I've seen at least 2 explicit breakdowns of how to get it to the OP's price, in this short, 2 page thread. It ain't that hard to find....


Nice post, OP...pretty hot. I'd love to get rid of Charter Cable anyhow, so satellite sounds good, but do I really need another HDTV....????

how did you PM to BB? I thought BB price was higher.

Could you explain the Direct TV rebate or specifics? I didn't find it on their site. Thanks!

the direct TV deal is iffy and there isn't much info about it

Will this deal still work on Wednesday?

Also how do you get the Panasonic rebate if you are purchasing from Best Buy?

Thanks!

well if BB shoots you down, the DirectTv ad in CC holiday catalog offer is:

Free installation of 4 room system
$100 MIR for HD Receiver
$300 off instantly when you activate DirectTV HD and buy any HDTV 30"+
$29.99+/month for 1 year contract

Also on the inside cover is cc rewards card offering 5% rewards.


So at CC, the best price is:
$1299.99 Plasma + $99.99 HD Receiver - $300 instant = 900.00 - $90 (10% coupon) - $45 (5% rewards card) - $100 MIR = $665+tax. Still a good deal and shouldn't be YMMV. Oh yeah, FatCash!

There you go - $200 Panasonic rebate for instalation

Was the Home Installation required per DirectTV? If BB required it, that probably means $600 off discount was to make install free. Should be interesting to see if Panasonic rebate works.

Yeah. I received mine yesterday. They had rejected mine in middle of march saying I didn't mail in the installation receipt. I faxed them the receipt again (the bestbuy receipt that had both the tv and install on it). Had to call them a couple of times after that. April first week it showed up as entered on their system. April 20th the check number showed up. And yesterday I got the check.
