Nope. Not editing the post because of one reply when the deal hasn't even gone live yet. The coupon currently works for the Inspiron and Gateway deals from last Sunday. Anyone who has a doubt can use it to test. $350 Inspiron and a $450 Gateway laptop.

I never stated the verify credit and EVERYONE knows by now knows the barcode on the confirmation is ONLY the coupon code. However that has no relevance to what Iposted since the barcode only triggers the process to get you phone number. They DO ask for you phone number and verify you have an order for THAT phone number. The name or other garbage on he confirmation has no meaning. At leaset in my area (AZ) and I am sure most others that is how it works. The system prompts the cashier for your phone number and it verifies if you have a Internet broadband order in their system. It doees NOT verify the status of the order just that you have an order. (Perphaps you used a RZ card which automatically brings up your phone number? I don't know, but I DO know the process because I watched at LEAST a dozen customers who signed up these broadband offers trying to and apply it to the two sub $500 laptops laptop offers this past Sunday go through this process while waiting to do at return at the CS desk. Most had to wait a few minutes for the system to update because the BB POS cound not find their broadband order when it was just created at the in-store kiosk. The $100 discount would not apply without a phone number to order verification.

Sorry but your information is wrong. I've bought 14 laptops since Sunday using coupons for every purchase. Not a single confirmation of any kind. The coupon I used yesterday and today don't even have my name and address on them. When sales noticed it I just explained it was my roommate-to-be and they went right along with the sale.

I repeat for the dense-in-the-head crowd that's frequenting this thread:

BEST BUY DOES NOT CONFIRM THE COUPON CODES WHEN THEY ARE ISSUED THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR WHEN YOU USE IT TO CHECK OUT IN THE STORE. THE BARCODE IS THE SAME REGARDLESS OF INFORMATION YOU ENTER OR THE SERVICE YOU SELECT. THE STATE YOU LIVE IN YOUR FAVORITE FLAVOR OF ICE CREAM AND THE NUMBER OF ZITS ON YOUR FACE WILL NOT EFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO USE THE PRINTED COUPON.

Ho, no one is questioning your ability to do the deal. What I'm trying to convey is certain stores and certain managers remember the fiasco from 6 months ago when the same deal (and same barcode) were being used fraudulently, and they now know how to shake out the offenders.

Well that's not a good sign...

NVM that, I'm... dumb

What's not a good sign?

It'd be nice if there was a PDF for some of us who can't get Comcast in our area?

I'd scan it but unless you live in Orange County it would just be trouble.

CattyKid said:Why, only good for your region? Because the address is listed?

Shows the address. Someone in NY might get suspicious and then it really would be a problem. Get creative with your address usage.

can someone just pdf scan it. i'll edit the address with a pdf editor.

how come my receipt for my order says this

debranator said:what that means is it is giving you a choice of promotions.
but, you can only pick one, and if you are going to cancel,
of course you would pick the hundred bucks.

It doesn't say you can only pick one.

Mine did.
I had a choice from time warner of picking the lower monthly deal or taking the 100 buck Q.
Perhaps different company's all have different kinds of offers.
