Best Buy Coupon: $50 off $100+ In-Store Purchases via Printable Coupon (MasterCard Required)

Quote from Bizmat : Glad that someone else agrees with me. Don't get me wrong, I like browsing this website everyday for good sales but I don't abuse them whatsoever. People must have some nerve to walk into a store with any more than just one coupon and get $100's or $1000's worth of gift cards without feeling guilty about it. It gives SD'ers who don't abuse deals a bad reputation.

Look, I bought $2,500 in amazon gift cards prior to the coupon terms changing, and in my purchase I abided by ALL of the terms set forth in the coupon. I fail to see how this is "abusing the system".

Quote from needgeech : Good luck getting that one. I saw it yesterday. Guy had a 27 rep and had never sold anything over $5 before yesterday, when he sold $10k in Rokus. His ad always had "xx sold 10 available" as his description edited it self every time somebody bought one--170 times editing seems fishy. Plus overseas. . . Today he is selling $19 tablets. . .

Plus, the page states the Rokus are new up in the title, item condition, and top description box, but when you scroll right and down in the middle of the page, it says refurb!

Seems shady indeed...

You can rationalize all you want but in the end you know that the coupon or offer wasn't intended to be used the way you and many others did.

Rationalization is the ultimate SD effect. Sad.

Should be an interesting day, battle of morals, where no matter what, people will justify their interpretations and actions, no matter what other say.

Let me create a fake coupon for you so you can use the same logic as well and see how far you get
This coming from the person who hates it when others clear out a store of an item, but her reason is good enough to do it.....

performance by reciprocal promise

Quote from LGCubana : You are watching way too much reality court TV programming. The only expense that I can see is the fuel cost.

Actually, I do not watch such dribble at all. If I were such a litigant, I would expense:

1. my time at my professional rate(s),
2. my fuel costs,
3. wear-and-tear to my ride,
4. expenses during my trip (food, drink, parking fees, etc.)
5. any incidental costs that I could think up...

Judges usually give a victor a lot of leeway once you make your case, especially on incidentals, so long as they are not preposterous/outrageous in nature/origin. Using the above criteria, I could easily reach the $1k mark on a "$50 off $100" suit.

Quote from HexiumVII : Bestbuy always lets me down, but finally some luck this time! Got me 2 Toshiba 3TB external HDD (3 year warranties!) for $70 and an electrolyte vacuum for $50. Black monday is better than black friday!

electorlux pehaps?? I might be wrong however ....

There seem to be a lot of individuals who decided to forego this slickdeal due to a lot of reasons, the primary one being the changes made to the offer--the next being, what? Finding out too late?
I found out around 5:30pm--didn't get to the store 'til around 7--and that was AFTER driving to work to print the coupon out, THEN picking up the family (several towns away).
Sure, I knew I'd probably miss out, but that was okay. The worse I could've been told was "no", right?
I RELIED however, on the good ol'
ignorance,
fatigue
and uncaring attitudes of not only the BB employees (CSR & Managers included) but retail employees PERIOD. For every ONE employee who takes pride in their job and will exhaust all of their energy to do all that they can to follow their directives TO THE LETTER, there are TWENTY employees who simply don't give a $&@%. They're there for a check and nothing else. As sad as it may seem, this is the TRUTH and there's NO way around it.
Sad?
Yes.
Will I take advantage of this when and if I can?
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I WILL.
I thank all of those SD's who attempted before me in my local store and got shot down. At 7 pm I was SURE to find someone who would throw in the towel and just say "$&@% it." a MANAGER no doubt. This guy didn't even read the coupon. He just came in an overided it. I threw in a $4 coaxial coupler (they still use those?!) to make my purchase over $100. My wife threw in nothing--and she got the Roku XS--a SET TOP BOX (?!?!) which was stated as not a part of the promotion. And this was AFTER she was told it would be a no go by a manager in the FRONT of the store--she simply came to the BACK.

Do you REALLY think that this coupon will NEVER be used again this week?
You're SADLY mistaken.
An employee will come into work today, be told of the situation and either not care, or not LISTEN.
So don't just chalk it up as a loss, SD'ers!!!
The WORSE you can be told is "no".

This isn't about BEST BUY.
This is about HUMAN BEHAVIOR.

We came to earth to visit in the 1800's and haven't left SINCE!!
We LOVE you earthlings!!!

Quote from olliverq : yanks you have a closed mind that does not think outside the box. it does not exclude giftcards. so buy a giftcard and with the giftcard, buy whatever youd like

The post that broke all hell. Truly not enough rep or whatever counts as e-peen here.

Best Buy corporate doesn't need to ask for my opinion on the bottom of my receipt, just read all of these posts. Look at all the survey results in one day. I would love for someone from corporate to issue a statement right here on Slickdeals.

A typo is not bait and switch. Your self given title of Jim Jones is appropriate. Cherry or grape, asshat?

if Best Buy didn't intend for the coupon to be used in this or any other way,
they should put that on the coupon. it is NOT our job to interpret what their
intentions are.

suppose I buy an airline ticket for $200 between LA and NY and the airline
doesn't mention the change fee or non-refundable on my e-ticket receipt,
how am I suppose to tell what their intention is? they can't just tell me a
week later "sorry, it's not refundable, we assume you saw the $200 price
and knew our intention was for it to be non-refundable/changeable..."

Why on SD, as if they are the only deal site in the world who had access to this coupon

here goes my story, ran this morning as soon as i seen the coupon. tried to buy apple tv, they wouldnt let me, so i grabbed a roku 2 xs instead, cost me $55 asked manager if i could do it again he said sure man theres no limit on here, so i got a wireless headset for my 360 and camera bag for $65, i didnt have any more coupons left, so i went home and printed up 6 more with the idea im going to buy all the hdds i need for my new raid, new manager there wouldnt sell me more then 1, and i even had my wife stand in line behind me, but she was using my mastercard the bitch at the counter realized it was the same name, already charged my card, and then voided it out afterwards like a real bxtch. so now i gotta wait 3-5 days for my refund . so i only ended up with 1 2 tb hdd for $65

oh well all in all i still saved $150 on the stuff, but i really needed those other hdd's.. gonna try again tomorrow i guess
