I just bought the i7 version from samsung.com for $529 + tax

$1049.99 - $150 (promo) - $147 EPP - $165 Trade In - $58.80 (10% CB) = $529.19

So you had 165 worth of trade in and gave your info to some shady third party for additional 10% off. How does it even compare with OP deal?

Since you asked, even if you disregard the trade-in it's a better deal IF you have EPP.

$1049.99 - $150 (promo) [samsung.com] - $147 EPP - $75.30 (10% CB) = $677.69

Of course, you need to decide if giving "your info to some shady third party" (such as raku10) to save $122 is worth it.

This "shady 3rd party" you speak of is no more shady than most websites you probably visit, especially if you have anything to do with social media.

At least they pay out for the commission they get and I'm sure they are also tracking our shopping habits for ad purposes, just like everyone else is. You think SD is any different? Lol there are ads on this site and they know which posts you are clicking on and what products and services you're interested in.

Might as well get paid for it. I've gotten tons of cash back over the years for what essentially amounts to an extra click before making a purchase.

I've dealt with 3 different cash back companies and have always received the correct amount. They always follow through even if the sale doesn't track for some reason.

That's more than can be said about the SD cash back program, which I see tons of complaints about and they seem to have crazy strict rules for actually tracking your purchase.

This seems the same as my Flex (1?) judging by the pics. Difference being they clearanced the Flex 1 out at under $400!

Anyways, it's a pretty great laptop overall. 8GB is still good. Not sure I'd pay $600 for it in 8GB though, but not up on current laptop deals.

The QLED is pretty nice.

That's also considering the probably Rack cb? Of the rack CB from samsung sales since december last year - they have granted ONE for me for watch/uv/buds.... NONE for any tablet, buds, the red chromebook etc.

You have to contact their support team who take like 45 days to review it...and then try to argue that oh it's not 10% back it's 2%....i argued with them a decent bit back and forth and eventually they gave it. Then 10 days later their automated system reduced it to 2%...had to email them again and they changed it again. They are absolute pos when it comes to paying out on samsung orders.

Since January ive done 30+ transactions from samsung and Rakuu worked perfectly fine. Never had an issue of missing cb. I use my phone , chrome browser on rakuu, never used computer. When i first signed up they didnt give me the $20 sign up bonus, so i chatted with them and they fixed it within 20 minutes
