The old troll speaks out

Same here. Have to retunr it. $40 + tax is just a normal AR price.
By the way, the BB rebate printed out in-store is #58599, which is one of the rebate shown online. I guess BB made a mistake by putting the in-store rebate online. (Normally B&M rebates don't show online.)

Just ordered one online for in-store pickup. Hope both BB rebates will go through since they're shown on my order confirmation. Picked up the flash drive a few minutes ago, but the filler was not available. I'll just cancel the filler since the $10 coupon seems to be applied proportinally to each item. It doesn't make any sense to spnd about $2 gas money to pick up a filler. And it's a filler anyway.

Thanks OP for the awesome deal!

BB is trying too hard to stop people from buying by making things so complicated.

RE/ the BVG pricematch: If anyone lives close to a CompUSA and wouldn't mind mailing me one of the sale flyers showing this item, I'll PayPal you your postage cost plus $3. The nearest one is 90 minutes from me. Lately AMEX has gotten picky about seeing the actual printed ad complete with sale dates. PM me if you can help, thanks in advance.
The AMEX BVG is a big YMMV if you ask me. While the ad isn't all that clear if you take a quick look, you only get the $37 instant rebate (and the other MIRs) when you buy a notebook too. If AMEX spends a few seconds looking at the ad they may figure out that the price was really $99 otherwise and you'd be screwed.

I was able to get the item into my cart for instore purchase using the javascript trick, and was also able to apply the 10% online coupon (although I did have to put some overpriced Energizer AA batteries into the cart to get over $100. Anyone have any cheaper filler items they can recommend?). Didn't try my luck with Ebates. All the rebates should apply since it's still an online purchase and there was no PM involved. Will pay with my Costco AMEX and see if I can get my hands on a CompUSA flyer to do the BVG later.

Thanks for the TIP KTG. I just ordered one using the java script trick. If I get hold of that ad I can scan it and send it you.

Ok.. how do you do the Java trick? Where do I put it?

I think its now becoming clear that this is an online deal only! Also, did anyone acturally read the T&C? On the $23.00 rebates... potentally a no go...

returned it.

They don't PM their website. darn...

BM does not work.
Smoking hot if you purchased online.

so the three rebates will only work if you order online and it is shipped?

The online rebates will work, regardless shipped directly to you or ordered online with instore pickup.

argh.. Missed out on all these Best Buy online deals today. First the router, then the USB access point, and now this. This is what I get for sleeping in today.
