Seagate 300GB harddrive for $20 AR/PM, very YMMV

PaLLY said: ConUsa pm AR?! They didn't even let me return the cisnet monitor.
I like to know who succeeded with this.

I do CompUSA PM before rebate all the time even use the same CSR. I did the 100GB and 160GB and 200GB, just received the rebates. Green for you OP. Sorry if you don't got a Fry's in your area.

I am Chandler, AZ I use the CompUSA on Ray & I10.

More information: I haven't even had to do the buy and return to PM. I am able to just tell the casher the Fry's price and she either calls for price validation or she just enters the price (I assume she has already validated it that day.) GL

Ad Link please? I went through Dallas ads and couldn't find it. =/

Here is CompUSA's official pricematch policy, direct from Corporate customer service. Some CSR's and even managers will deny that they even have a pricematch policy in-store...just whip this out and shove it in their face if they give you a problem.

Nice deal. $79.99 @ L.A. / O.C. Fry's, as well. Might try the PM later on today.

LA times bottom left hand corner.

They can't even give you crap about their price being lower after rebate

Thanks OP, will try this soon.

I'd like to know too. Maybe AMEX starwood can be used this time?

Is the ad in today's LA times or yesterday?

It's in today's edition. I don't think there's a Fry's ad on Thursdays. Prices effective until Tuesday, but rebates from CompUSA end tomorrow, so better hurry.

Letter to GOD,

God, please build a Fry's stores on the East Coast. We need to do pm or r&r b4 its oos which only West
Coast & Midwest can do. Looking forward to your timely reply, but don't pm me.

vineetb17 said: Hmmm... their BVG policy just states that the advertisement should not be for a date before the purchase... anyone have any experience BVG-ing using same-day ad?As long as the desired sale price is advertised to end after the initial purchase date, you should be OK. Here's what you do. Buy it with your AMEX, go back to CUSA and attempt PM. If you get shot down, do your usual threats to call corporate, call corporate if needed, and if all else fails go for the BVG. This is how I do it with CC.

dont feel too bad. i'm in LA and i have been shot down many times for PM at CompUSA and Circuit City. Sure, LA has many local Fry's B&M locations, but that doesn't change anything. It actually only makes it worse, because a lot of people try to PM and then the managers at OD, OM, CC, and CompUSSR learn to turn you down.

so you're saying that submitting a receipt showing PM'ed price won't affect the rebates? does anyone else have experience with this? Thanks in advance,and thanks OP!

I have received all 3 of my rebate with the PM on the receipt. GL

did not get PM last time with a similar deal . Thanks OP

Corkypa said: In theory, AMEX could deny the BVG claims because CompUSA has a pricematch policy. This has been in BVG terms for a while, but I have never seen it enforced until last week, when I had several BVG claims denied because the store (Staples) could have pricematched. Maybe they are tightening things up. But, still worth a chance. If they deny it, you can always use the AMEX return protection We need to compare notes and see what's going on with this. I haven't been denied claims with CC or CompUSA although others have. In fact, when I did the last claim 4 weeks ago I specifically asked about CC and was told they aren't automatically rejecting those claims. A couple of us are in Deal Discussion trying to figure it out. Here's the link to the thread.

I Second that god!

Have to agree "very" ymmv... depends on the local store manager, since the difference is almost half price..

BIG YMMV.

If you live in San Diego, forget about it. I called CompUSSR and asked them about pricematching, without telling the guy about the drive. He said if their price ends up lower, then they adjust it to that it equals what it would be after rebates. And then I said "So if Fry's has a drive and....." and he said "Yeah, the Seagato 300? We have an issue with that. We will have to price ours 60 dollars higher so it comes out to the $79.99 price after our rebates"


What a toolbox. This could've been good.

For the person looking for the drive in the Dallas Fry's ad, it's on the front page of Friday's ads. Lower left-hand corner. Enjoy!
