After further research I discovered that in their price matching policy it states about rebates, gift cards, etc. given with price matching.

How do you handle a price match if the Best Buy price includes a rebate, gift card or other promotional offer?
Our purchase price is calculated by deducting the value of all discounts, free items and mail-in rebates when determining our purchase price. Simply put, a refund or price match will be based on the purchase price at Best Buy after all discounts and promotions are applied.

We offer you the choice between the Best Buy purchase price or the competitor's price. (See details below for how we handle competitor rebates.) If you choose a competitor's price, applicable Best Buy rebates will no longer apply and will not be fulfilled. Free items received during the original purchase must either be returned or their value paid for. This applies to "packages" or "bundle rebates" as well. If you choose the competitor's offer, the entire original package or bundle rebate is invalid.

If you prefer a current Best Buy offer instead of your original Best Buy offer, you must accept either the entire current offer, or your entire original offer. You may not, for example, receive both a current advertised sale price and a rebate that was in effect at the time of your original purchase but is no longer available. You may choose the offer that is best for you.

So I guess me complaining won't help cause it is in their policy you get one or the other. So much for this deal... lol I did try though! It may work for some of you, but I am not going to hassle people for it, so good luck.

Told you 94, depends on the store.

 

[Fighter2a]

Yeah you just gotta be smart. These people calling in and asking about it have a lot to learn.

This sounds like the time a $90 off coupon got leaked for when you bought certain items like $45 sticks of 256mb of Kingston and paid for the $35 installation charge. So I went and used it on my $85, price of two after taxes, purchase and after about 10 min of arguing walked out with free ram. Then the next day I did it again with the same guy but I told him that the guy from yesterday was my neighbor and he gave it to me again. Long story short My sis, uncle,dad and mom got in on it and we cleaned out 2 stores of their ram totaling 14 modules. Kept 2 and sold the rest off to pay for college. I dont feel bad because after te first two times at the first store they didnt even argue with me and at the other store they never argued with me.

VICTORY @ last!
i came in today, went up to customer service, the CS manager came up to me and asked me what i needed, i showed him the CC paper and asked for a PM..socialized a tad
he did it np! it came up as $15 after he PM'd it..i guess the computer incorperates the Gcard
regardless, he called the computer retarded and gave me a 110% PM thus refunding $43.xx to my mastercard leaving me w/a $7 MP3 player! WOOT
ill try to nab a few more within the next couple hours, if it doesnt work out my dad'll get the Gcard for XMAS

They were VERY aware of this yesterday and had the "rules" for price matching in hand on all the employees in that area. No double dipping was their terminalogy.

$50 gc not bad after all. Bought 5 Sandisk players and recieved 5 gift cards. Then used the gc's to pay for all the movies, music and xbox 360 games on my shopping list. My son and all my neices and nephews are all done for Christmas now. Even picked up the last season of Everybody loves Raymond for an extra stocking stuffer for Mom. One card even has some $$ left on it.

Yeah don't waste your valuable time because time is money right?. I've already made over $350 off this.

 

[Dermen]

I tried today, they said no.

 

[MaStA]

I figured since Fighter was so confident in this I would give it a try...and I was told one or the other in the store. Oh well.

[David Coleman]

No go in gainesville. PM or CG...not both.

And how many hours did it take you to accomplish it? Dont forget all the hours spent researching it at home before you started driving around? How many miles did you drive? Take that $350 figure, divide it by hours spent and subtract cost of gas and maintenace costs of vehicle (common to all mileage reimbursement plans) and then you should have a figure of what exactly you made per hour to compare to other things such as your job.

I can guarntee my time is much more valuable than that figure.

If he got 10 units wouldn't it be over $350?

Just my thoughts here but sounds kind of fishy. No offense meant and feel free to prove me wrong though.
