I DON'T THINK I CAN WAIT THIS LONGGGGGG

I'll have to plead ignorance, online I would assume it automatically gets applied. The barcode I spoke of is generated at the store level for associates to give the extra 10% off, the consumer would have no reason to have it.

What do folks think about the 37" tv for $599 or $570 after the 5% discount? I can't find a 37" by that company for sale anywheres online and it doesn't seem to be up on the Sears website yet.

Please heed this advice for a great deal. I happened to stumble across this last year:

1. Shop locally for a better, negotiable price for what you're purchasing and get it in writing (this is improtant...say something like..."I'm real close to purchasing and am near certain I'm going to buy from you, but I need a day to think about it to make 100% sure because I never make a purchase this big on the spot. What prices did you say? Can you write those down for me?". For us, H.H. Gregg negotiated a 19% discount for a full kitchen suite with us.

2. Take the offer in writing to Sears and see if they can do better. If they say they can match it (which they should), bring up F&F. You should be able to lock in your price match price PRE F&F.

3. Go in on F&F and start with the price match price. Reduce that by whatever MIRs and cash register discounts are available and SCORE!

We got $5000 worth of appliances for $2500. 50% off ain't too shabby. We accidentally stumbled across this by actually shopping around right around Sears' F&F. Granted, last year Sears had a 20% off rebate for appliances on top of their 5% register rebate. Good luck!

I can't tell from the ad, does the $899 price on the Samsung W/D include delivery? If not, anyone know what they charge?

No you don't, you would get sale price of the item + the addition 5% or 10% qualifies for it. If you wanted the additional Sears promos like no interest for 2 years or an additional % off promotion, then you need a Sears card. For example

No Sears card
$1000 TV
$799 on sale
-$40 5% friends and family
-----
$760 + tax = GRAND TOTAL

WITH Sears card
$1000 TV
$799 on sale
-$40 5% friends and family
-$76 10% off using Sears card OR 2 years 0% interest
--------------
$684 + tax = GRAND TOTAL

Be careful on this. If the extra 10% off/24 months 0% you're referring to is the Ultimate Football promo, it expires before VIP night. I doubt something comparable will take it's place, as I suspect Sears learned a costly lesson after last year, or what I like to call my greatest contribution to FW ever. Still, there are some good deals here, and I will probably be advising my parents to get the Panasonic 50" plasma.

It's wrong to see that a store will PM and don't back out of it when the price is "too low" but thats life unfortunately.

And sometimes they will even "forget" to give you that 10% difference discount...just watch out for that one. I am personally a FWer but as a sales rep it is one's worst fear because:

FWers don't buy warranties
FWers PM like crazy

Both things that managers don't like and make the department look bad. Just so that you guys know...

Hmm, that's weird. I work at Sears and that is never an issue. I guess since we are commission based, some employees don't want to price match cause they lose money off the sale if they sold it. But at my store, we always price match. I guess we are not as greedy here. Heck, some people price match to different states or online stores but I guess it boils down to which employee you get.

There is a rebate for the standard delivery charge on any appliance over 399. The fee will vary, for me it would be $65.

Oh hell that's a good price...

I don't know about throwing in free stuff, but discounts can be sometimes sweet talked to. Especially if you are buying an In-home service agreement. Usually FWers don't buy that though.
