But how is he supposed to get into the know with a response like that? Help a brother out and let him in. How about explaining some of the acronyms to him also, like FAR= Free After Rebate. I though YMMV meant Your Mileage May Vary.
Umm, now that would go with every thread then. Those acronyms are too widely used here....sorry, but thats up to him to figure out.

I edited the post and put in the coupon links (i think thats allowed at FW, right? Anand doesn't let you do it..).


You lucky!!! I went to 3 Staples and they all deny my 15 off 40 which I used 4 times last week. I think I will buy it with the 12% discount. It will be aroung 20 bucks, that's 20 cents a Gig. Still not bad, but not as good as your deal.

What region are you from? The coupons are are being accepted in the East coast, afaik. Also, did you print them out in Color?

Many of the 100GB drives that I saw are in fact 120GB (they have a big round sticker that says 20GB bonus). Those have the same UPC as the 100GB and are fully eligible for the rebate (and it does print out). I think $20 for a 120GB drive is a hot deal in itself without having to resort to fraudulent coupons. Staples is one of the few remaining big retailers that deserve our patronage.

Shot down on the $15 coupon at 2 different locations.

I passed because I'm sure a new coupon will be floating around soon.

This is too YMMV.

I'm from the East Coast also, North New Jersey. They rejected me at Route 17 and both Route 4 locations. It was fun while it lasted. Which stores worked for you? And No, I did not print it in color. If in color, do you use special paper? It just seems like would be going out of my way to create a known fraudulent coupon.

Had seen a posting of 10 off 30 coupon in a different thread. Can't that be applied too? The address beside it can be removed as it is not on the coupon.

thanks op

thanks op, after all said and done. $15.27

Thanks OP. Got 120 GB drive with tax for $10.


alert mods    

Thanks for the heads up. The $10 "instant rebate" didn't come up automatically at the store but I had a print out from the website so they matched it. I happened to have a $15 off $75 OD coupon, plus the 12%, so I ended up at about $12 AR.


alert mods    

i did it for $6.18AR but...i only got the 100gb version


alert mods    

people who opened them: are all the non-marked 100GB ones actually 120GB?

Hmm, looks like its OOS online. Guess "normal" people saw it as a very hot deal at 29.99 online. There are plenty in-store, saw them today when i went to get coupons for ink cartridges. Better to call first probably.

Online could have been much better than 29.99. Purchase two. Use a 30/150 coupon. Comes out to $15 or so each plus cost of coupon less the related cashbacks (fw, staplesrewards, discovercard).

Was able to use 12%, $15 off, 1x $3 ink on this. I think it's $6 AR. Got 4x 120gigs.

With so many deals from last week and this week, I am in freakin rebate hell.

C'mon Crows, read: 4x 120, not 4x 100.

I can't believe I'm still using that 15 off coupon. Was working last week, not working over weekend and I just used 3 times pass two days. Thought it was dead.
You paid $6.26 to be exact AR. I paid $9.26 in NJ. Hey!! I'm not going to blow the deal by stacking and making a commotion.
Did you go in and out 4 times to get those HDs?? Mine was a 120 Gig drive. It had a sticker on the bottom left corner.

I'm also in Rebate HELL!!


alert mods    

Staples rebates isn't bad at all...so its not really hell. Now, i was in hell today after doing two onrebates (cut out the upc, make copies, print multiple forms), a labtec, and a Circuit City. They ALL require cutting of the upc, making copies and crap. Staples rulez when it comes to rebates...there they are like.no.other (haha, sue me Sony).
