Ipad 16GB 3rd gen. (Brand New) $425 no tax and free Shipping (phone only)

Quote from darkoon : 4th gen was $440 at bestbuy last Thursday.

That means Apple is rolling out iPad 5 in March or June 2013, worth a wait

This is a collector item!

Apple has erased all existence of this 3rd generation iPad from its website. And not because it is outdated, as it is only about 9 months old, and you can see on Apple's website that they are still selling the iPad 2.

Yes, I got in on the Best Buy deal last Thursday, but I did a little bit of work and made the deal better. I've already taken advantage of the cheap fuel.
Here's my post from that thread:
I just drove to Kroger and bought a $1000 gift card on my credit card that gives me 5% cash back on groceries then used E-Bates to get cash back and got $2 off 70 gallons of gas which brings my total for 2 iPads to:
$1000-5%= $950 so I got $50 back there.
Best Buy total at checkout was $922.18 because I had $10 in reward zone certificates.
$922.18 - 3.6% cashback from E-Bates = $888.98
$888.98 - $140 in fuel points = $748.98 - $50 I got back from my credit card company
Which brings my total for two 16GB iPad 4's to $698.98 or $349.49 each.

70 Gallons gas in one fill?

Nope, 35 though. My truck holds 36 and I let it get low before I drove to Kroger.

I got ipad 4 from Meijer on Thursday B&M at 7.00 AM in the morning for 362.

Here is how they were giving 499-100(gift card)=399.

I got 5 *100 gift card which was giving 20 usd worth of coupons for meijer but were charging 6USD as fee, so basically if i buy 100 GC i was getting 114 (including meijer coupons).

i paid 530 for gift-cards and got 600 worth of gift cards used those gift cards to buy ipad4

which was coming around 532-20 = 512 (i was able to use one of the coupon that meijer gave and five 100 USD gift cards and paid 12 USD From my credit card).

i still have 80+100(i got for buying ipad from meijer) =180 USD worth of meijer coupons that i need to spend

My price was 542-180 =362 :-)

All I had to do was drive to Kroger to get the gift cards and it's only a few miles from my house. The rest was online.

thanks

This is impressive.
Where did the "$140 in fuel points" come from?
