| Congratulations on finding the deal of the century ) I just purchased the Samsung pair not an hour ago. It's an amazing deal and couldn't have come at a better time -- my 1983 Kenmore washer took it's final spin last night (the clutch and transmission froze). First thing you need to know -- YOU DO NOT A PHYSICAL COUPON to take advantage of the offer, so no need to purchase one from eBay! You can simply print a scanned version using your computer printer. You will need a Best Buy Rewards membership (free enrollment) and a printout of the coupon. Follow these steps: 1. You must be a Best Buy Rewards member to take advantage of the offer. The coupon was sent only to Premium members (those who have purchased $2500 in products from BB in the last year) and I believe the fine print states that it's only open to the 'elite' members. HOWEVER, BB will honor the deal to basic members. Enrollment is free and you will not be charged a service fee, nor be obligated to purchase anything from BB down the line. If you are not already a Reward Zone member, sign up here: https://myrewardzone.bestbuy.com/programOverview.jspx (the choice on the left, unless you really want a BB Mastercard). 2. After enrolling and verifying your email, log on to the Rewards site and print a replacement card. You will need to present this at checkout. This link should work -- https://myrewardzone.bestbuy.com/profile.jspx?currentTab=printReplacementCard If that link is broken, select the link from your account settings to print the card. 3. Print the scanned coupon (on a color printer, if possible) from this SlickDeals forum post: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1641034 You might also want to print the other posted documents: the item pages (for the washer and dryer) and the scanned receipts/success stories from successful purchasers for verification. 4. Head down to your local Best Buy with your replacement card printout, the printed coupon, item page printouts, and anything else you printed. More than likely, the models will not be displayed on the showroom floor -- these are brand new units. 4. Present the coupon to the sales rep in the Appliances section. If they're clued in, the transaction should go smoothly. I was assisted by a manager who recognized the coupon in my hand from a mile away. She smiled, congratulated me on finding the deal, answered questions about the features of this model, and offered to ring me up if/when I was ready. The transaction was seamless. Your experience may vary, of course, so if you have any trouble, talk to a manager, insist that they scan the card/coupon (it WILL go through), or visit another store -- it's worth the exceptional value. I'm guessing, however, that BB is happy to move the product to anyone who happens to find the deal. The line items from my receipt: model WF407ANW/XA Samsung 4.0 CU FT 12-Cycle Washer REG $1,199.99 / -$599.99 OFF / SUBTOTAL $600.00 model DV407AEW/XA Samsung 7.3 CU FT 11-Cycle Dryer REG $1,199.99 / -$599.99 / SUBTOTAL $600.00 Dryer Cord $25.19 (I'll return it if it's not needed) Delivery $29.99 (arriving in 48 hours w/ set up and haul away!) Total before tax: $1250.00 I'm also eligible for a $100 mail-in rebate from my local utility. Click this link to see if you qualify: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=rebate.rebate_locator Note that the highly-rated basic model (WF218) is on sale for $698 (the dryer is ~$800), so the deal can't be beat. I also opted for an extended 5 year warranty since its a new model, but you can choose whether it's right for you. The manager verified that the prices will return to full retail ($1200 each/$2400 for the pair) after the 14th, so take advantage of the deal asap! Oh, one last detail: this sku is exclusive to Best Buy. It combines features from the basic model -- WF218/219 -- and the next step up -- WF32. WF218 has 10 wash cycles. This model has 12 cycles, like the WF32, and extra steam features (and perhaps a few other minor details). The manager told me that they are offering the deal to boost Best Buy's customer base for Samsung products (and to sell warranties, I'm sure). Probably more info than you need, but I hope it's helpful. Best of luck! |
