For Staples coupons do a search on Google.com key word "Staples coupons"

Less than 50 cent a gig makes this smoking!

Found this at FW, thanks X24!
"I purchased the 160GB Drive from Staples w/ a $10 Staples Reward Check, a $20 instant coupon off of the drive, a $30 off of $150 coupon (e-mail) and a Mail in rebate of $80. The total for me on June 8 was $60 plus tax.

However, I just called Staples to PM my previous purchase to CompUSA's $99.99 AR price and the CSR told me that she could only PM to $104. something about a coupon expiring blah blah blah. I didn't care, I was already getting this drive cheap enough since it is used as a backup drive. I now got a credit of $79 to my CC for the PM. Even if they get rid of my 30 off of 150 coupon, this still makes it $10 + tax for my 160GB Drive. HOT! This is about $0.07 a GB!"

To use a $30 coupon do you have to order online.

Which $30 coupon works?

[kellybrf]

usually if you get the manager you can get the store to take it. id call before you go and ask though. just tell them you have an online $30 off $150 via email and was wondering if you could use it instore too.

[yusiye]

thx for the info, but the coupon code seems confuseing.
Anyone can confirm me ? i only found "3468171078575212" for 30 off 150
btw, how to test the coupon is work or not? and the link of the maxtor hd doesn't work.

[sachin tendulkar]

I havent been able to find any 30 off 150 coupons that work...:mad:. Anyone wanna help me out?

Thx

[sachin tendulkar]

can i buy the drive now and pricematch it tomorrow to staples' price itself? Would they refund the value of the rebate they're offering too?

[tonyL]

sachin, yes u can buy it today and get the rebate tomorrow. but why would u ask about if they r going to refund the value of the rebate to u? i dont get it. its a mir, they just do a exchange of ur drive so that the date on ur receipt is 6-8. about the coupon, yes, u can use it in store. and it only work in store anyway. cuz the coupon code that u found online is one time only. if u try to use it online, their computer will know it and it wouldnt go throu. but if u bring it to the store, the cash register wouldnt know the difference.

btw, i forgot to tell u that the easiest way to get coupon from staples is to sign up for their business reward card. its free, u get up to 3% back from your purchases, and u get coupons in ur email.

[sachin tendulkar]

i was thinking if i buy it today and pm it tommorrow, they would just credit back the difference of the MIR...didnt know they would change dates on the receipt. Kinda wanted to get out of the rebate hassles, cos im leaving the country in 5 days and rebates are a pain in the butt as it is.

[notallan]

You are going to need a printout of the E-mail with the Staples coupon in order for this to work. If you try using a one-time coupon number without a legit looking printout they will call the number in to see if it has already been used.

[tonyL]

credit the 80bucks back to u? lol, good luck with that. if u did get that money back, then u r extreme lucky and that cashier is a dumb ass. i had never heard of someone getting rebate money back from the store, except this one time the customer didnt receive his rebate and the gm approved it. about the coupon, i think the coupon code u found online probably was someone else's. so if u try to use it online, it wouldnt work. but if u print out a copy of that email, it should work in store.

[Auspexian]

Frys has one for $99. Really Really want one at Staples.

The drive is on page #2 or #3 of the circular.

If someone can find a $30 Off $150, please please post..
Really need a bigger drive :-)

[yusiye]

i just sign up for a website for the Satples Coupon, but i haven't receive the coupon yet. Hope it'll come soon, at least before 9AM tomorrow.
If you want know the website, pm me.

What's up with this "deal"... Honestlty, we need some links to the appropriate coupons.


Really...If posters print deals without coupons, they may just as well not post them at all. That just gets people all excited about nothing.

BTW, the way things are going with the lack of coupons at Staples, they must be figuring that they are no longer worth the aggravation.

[sachin tendulkar]

DOes staples have in-store pickup form their website?

[sachin tendulkar]

Another sweet addition to this sweet deal:

Add item number 503513 (3-Piece American Tourister Set with Umbrella) after u add the hard drive.
Then enter coupon number 96081 and coupon number 77375!

Thats $85 off your order.
Enjoy!

[tonyL]

no, staples doesnt have in-store pickup.

johnnymk, life is not fair, so try to do some works and use google.

yusiye, did u just sign up for the staples email or the business reward card? i think u get a larger chance of receiving coupons if u sign up for the business reward card. like i said, it cost nothing, but u can get up to 3% back from ur purchases and discount in the ups shipping center. u have to pickup the application in the store tho.

sachin, have u try to use the coupon codes? i tried them and u need the 16-digits from either the business reward check or the courtesy coupon.

Coupons are non-transferable.
Coupons may only be used once and can not be used on additional orders.

[yusiye]

:( :(

[tonyL]

scottatl, wat r u talking about? wats off? it is $30 free, not $30 off if thats wat u were talking about.

[nfarzan]

i just went into Staples and the manager walked up to me b/c i had the coupon in my hand and said that 7 other people had come in today with the same coupon asking for the same hard drive. she had to call in the "coupons dept" and see if my code was valid. turns out my code was valid but it had already expired. she ended up giving it to me. $70 for 160gig, w00t

I got mine today, and there's no problem with these two.
just a quick reminder, please print the header of the email !!! staples requires that.:rolleyes:

[Joshua]

Out of Stock... Well, at least this ends all the confusion for me... :rolleyes:

[pd123]

The coupon failed for me, they told me at Staples the $30 coupon had to be emailed directly to my email address. I think it's up to the discresion of each store.

[notallan]

Those coupons are directly tied to a business rewards number. Now, most stores will ask to see your business rewards card and match up certain numbers from your customer number to the coupon code you give them. If the numbers don't match up, or you don't have your business rewards card that proves your printout coupon is legit, then you will get rejected.

[scottatl]

Local store was out and so is the Staples Web site.

[brainsmile]

bummer...

[notallan]

It is $199.98 - $25 instant savings = 179.98
THEN - $80 rebate
Final Price = $99.98

[sachin tendulkar]

Got the hd today...glad to say that it does have a ata 133 card free with it. nice deal, with $30 coupon and all comes out to be 69.99 + tax for me.:angel:

[bachviet]

Sold out in my area (online) but I haven't checked with local B&M stores.

[Thesifer]

Does the MIR work if you Buy it online? .. or just if you buy it at the B&M ? .. The way I read it sounded like you had to buy it at the B&M for the Rebate.. ? .. but maybe im wrong.. if Im wrong.. then I will definately Buy one!.

[azianguy99]

Hey guys,

i just bough 2, but i had a question;

my reciept say

179.94
-30.00

but nothing about a 20 dollar instant rebate! Was it already applied from 199.99 - 179.99? Or should i go back and ask for my 40 bucks!

[bachviet]

Yeap the $20 instant discount is taken when price comes from $199.99 to $179.99.

[gringott]

I used the $30 off 150 coupon, the girl somehow applied it twice, got the drive out the door for $127 (tax and all - and a 50 cent calendar), so after the $80 rebate it will have cost me $47, which using rough math, is about 29 cents a gig, am I right or wrong????:heh:

[monkeypox]

Anyone not receive a receipt or packing slip
with there drive? I'm gonna have a problem
trying to get my $80 rebate without one.

Maxtor didn't include 5.25" mounting brackets.
They always used to with their retail drives.

[Thesifer]

Never recieved an Answer at to whether or not I can get the rebate after buying it online? .. Im assuming no since most people got it at the store.. but.. im kind of on Deployment right now .. so its hard to run to the nearest staples..

[tonyL]

u cant use the 16 digits coupon code online, since most of them r one time use only. u can print out the whole coupon and use it in store.

[edelbeb]

Here's a coupon code with an unknown expiration date:

51914 $30 of $150 purchase.

Too bad Staples is out of stock.

$30 off $150

Valid thru 6/30/03

[sachin tendulkar]

Can u use the packing slip as a receipt for the rebate??? I did get one with the drive.

You can go to your order status page on the staples web site and print a receipt. I've had this problem before, and this was what the staples CSRs told me to do. Worked fine.

[dtt]

I just got one yesterday at B&M. Thanks for posting that -- my hd went kerflop last week. Cool to get the UATA card, too.

[Showtime]

Df,

What do you need so many gigs for anyways? I cant remember a good hd deal you havent got in on? Must have 100's of gigs by now. Terraflopers or whatever there called. :)

Just curious...

-jel:halo:

[scottatl]

My B&M was out on Monday, just called they have plenty in stock, wanted to know how many I wanted.


BTW jello HDTV is 12 Gigs per hour to record, DVD rip is around 6 to 9 gigs.

[bachviet]

One of the B&M Staples has no more of these drives. I need to check the other store near my fiance's house.

[tonyL]

for ppl who still want to drive but the local store is out of stock, you can ask them to check with store #0545. its at howell, nj. it still got like 5 or 6 160gb drives left. u can ask ur store to do a save a sale. wat they will do is call the store and ask them to ship the drive to you, and u pay for it in ur local store. no shipping charge to u.

[bachviet]

Staples.com has some more in stock as of 11:00 PM PST on 06/14/03. I just order one and use my fiance's $30 off coupon (one time use only).

[DaNewbie]

dang, i need to check the forums more often...is the MIR still valid? I think i'll check out my local staples..

[bachviet]

Saturday, 06/21/03, is the last day for the MIR. Last Sunday, I checked Staples.com and found out that the drive is back in stock. I ordered one using $30 from my fiance and the drive just came yesterday. I am still deciding about keeping or returning it. I'm in need of money right now but the price is too good to pass.

[DaNewbie]

Woot, todays the last day to BUY, not last mail in date correct? My local staples has 8 in stock :)

[pd123]

It was also too tempting, I got one tonight at my local B&M, they had a few left. This is going in my ReplayTV.

[DaNewbie]

yea, it was too tempting, it was $161 out the door, with 80 rebate, thats a great deal :) I'm going to put it in my file server, 600gigs so far :D

[bachviet]

My first Maxtor 160GB comes with an ATA card but this one doesn't.

[DaNewbie]

both my first maxtor 160gb (bought about 3 months ago) and today's 160g drives had the sticker on the box and card inside. Wonder what I can get for it on ebay?
