Deal Details

Add the fan and the free gift battery to the cart for $59.

After placing the order, within 5 minutes, go back to the order and cancel the free battery. This results in the fan's price is only $26.99+tax. YMMV as I was using an HD Android App, which allowed me to cancel immediately after placing the order, while my friend (used an Iphone app) had to wait for 5-10 minutes for the order to show up.

You can also wait for both items to be delivered and return the battery in-store for the same net price for the fan, or sell the battery. Happy hacking!!!

Edit: thumbdowns all you want. Home Depot has allowed this type of deal/hack for years. If they allow it, I will do it. There is clearly a price attached to each item. A price that HD sets themselves. I did not force them to give me that price.

This is not hack, it is called indirect theft.
They know that if we believe we cheated the system, it's win-win for both. So they pretend they don't know when they know, but it's also making customer feel like we got a deal. If they advertise it as $27, it's just not as awesome. It's catering to the cravings in us, but it's something that is genuinely offered.

Forces me to cancel entire order.
Its because you only ordered the fan and didn't make sure you did the offer

Exactly... this fan should only cost $27 or even less without the battery. But since it seems like we gamed the system, people are buying it like it's an amazing deal lol

not sure why all the hassle about half cancelling, you can always go to the store.

Mine won't even show up in my order history. It's been over 24 hours. I have confirmation email but it will not show in order history to cancel.

The way is to order the fan and battery to pickup in different stores, then you can cancel either one to get the "hack" price.
