Office Depot Calculators TI-83 Plus $25 AR AC and others Free Shipping Online only

Hi. I did a search and didn't see this posted, if it is please delete. Office Depot is having a sale on TI Graphing Calculators. The main one I'm focusing on is the the Ti-83 Plus. It's being sold for $99.99. There are two mail in rebates for $25 each and if you use a $20 off $75 coupon, then it becomes $30. You can do something similar to the other TI models that are listed on the rebate.

so in the end for the TI-83 Plus: $99.99 - 25 Coupon - $25 Rebate1 - $25 Rebate2=$29.99. But you have to add tax in there, but still a nice price.

Coupon code for 25 off 75: 88440125
Coupon code for 30 off 150:76902528

Ti-83 item number 905739.

One of the rebate says online only, but you can do a instore pickup if you want it faster.

updated 7.20.8

The 2 rebate URLs are exactly the same ... am i missing anything? Also, it's not linked properly.

I don't believe the two rebates will fly. Since no one has actually pulled off this deal, it would be YMMV.
The probable price would be 100-20-25=$55, which seems to be the average price w/ a coupon.
Good luck.

Is the $20 coupon only for online use or is that good in store as well? If in-store how do I get one?

If you purchase either one of these, you will also qualify for 2 Free Movie Tickets.

i remember this. "enhanced with 160K flash ROM for electronic upgrades and new applications, and 24K RAM" should provide ample space for those physics and calculus cheetsheets. remember x = (-b +- (b^2 -2ac)^0.5)/2a?

Got a mailing from Chase Rewards yesterday. 6% Cash Back from OfficeDepot.com July 1-Sept 30th.

Go to Chase Rewards Plus to get details on how it works.

Also, have one question about the rebates. Both forms state "copy of UPC" - do they mean a photocopy or original UPC? Anyone have experience with this? TIA

Thanks for the link. Just note that you may not have any local theaters that work with Fandango.

Snippet from http://www.starreviews.com/Fandango.aspx

Fandango’s online movie ticket service is available for 1,300 theaters across the United States. Those theaters include AMC, Kerasotes, Cinemark, and many IMAX locations. Tickets can be purchased one to three weeks in advance depending on the movie. You can also use Fandango’s services to buy tickets to special screenings, including midnight showings of movies so you can secure your spot without going to the box office.

I even found one AMC that is listed as "Online Ticketing Not Available for this Theater". I would have to drive over 40 miles to find a theater that accepts online ticketing from Fandango. I only found 3 out of 20 or 30 in 3 large cities. So for some, the free tickets is a great deal. For others like me, it is not such a great deal.

in for 1 Total:$80-5.6% back =$76-50 mir =$26 WOW

There is the one condition on the ShopDiscover site that says "Offer is not valid in combination with any other offers". Wonder if using the coupon invalidates any Cash Back from Discover???

I could not get the Chase Rewards Plus site to work. Each time I logged in to their site, it complained that it could not make the change I requested (before I even tried to do anything on their site).

I also got Unknown Error (404) from chase.
don't know why.

check your formula...
lol, must be the New Math

slycat said: is this calculate good enough for all high schoolers?Nope. TI-89.

The TI-83 Plus should be fine for any highschooler. I used it all the way through high school. Also the TI-89 isn't allowed on the ACT/SAT.

slycat said: huh?...um whats this good for then? thinking of getting this for highschooler but if they can't get thru hs with this...whats the point?
To be fair, you did say "all high schoolers". Maybe you meant to ask about "most high schoolers"?

Surely you're joking. I used a TI-81 through high school and a TI-83 through college in engineering. That was just a few years ago. Last time I checked, no new math has been invented in the past few years.

TI-83 will work for most hs math but an 89 is much better, especially for calculus. The TI-89 is a symbolic manipulator and can solve for variables much more efficiently than an 83. The upside to this is that you can basically type any algebra or pre-calc problem in and hit solve (and you're done). The downside to this is that it may prevent you from actually learning the math.

I remember being able to use my TI-89 in my calc class as well as on some advanced subject level SATIIs and AP tests. That was well over 5 years ago though.

Ahhh quadratic.... mmmmm

Too bad the Chase site is broken, I'd prefer to buy it with my Amazon card which has double points, but I guess that 5% from Discover is better than nothing.

Just did it.

Logon to your chase account, select a credit card, then click "shop with reward plus .." link on the page.

So, my final will be $75 (tax is same as 6% Cash Back) - $50 MIR = $25 plus 2 free tickets.

Not too bad. My wife does need a good calculator for her MBA.

I never got my Fandango codes. I tried email OD and got some confused person. I guess I need to call.
