http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/cybermonday/amazoncm.gif www.amazon.com Starts Sunday according to what is said on their BF page right now. Cyber Monday Deals Week will last through the entire week. As with their Black Friday sale, look for hot deals, limited time Lightning Deals and much more. Free shipping on $25 orders or any order with Amazon Prime.

http://i.gottadeal.com/main/deals3/20111126135553.jpg www.walmart.com Starts Sunday, likely at midnight PST. The sale runs through Friday, December 2nd. There will be new items added daily, so be sure to check back often. Look for HomeFree items which ship free with a $45 order. Or choose free in-store pickup for most items.

Not quite: "We’ve received word that this summer, Walmart laid-off its VP of Engineering/Ops Gene Wojciechowski."

Cyber Monday forum will open in a few hours.

Luckily we can see the results of the poll and who voted which way. So those people won't be winning any t-shirts

Story: http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9R842QO0.htm "According to IBM Corp. research unit Coremetrics, U.S. consumers spent 20 percent more online on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, this year than last, while online sales jumped 39 percent on Thanksgiving Day." The huge Thanksgiving jump isn't surprising considering how many of the online BF sales started late Wednesday night.

Happened to both my orders. It was a price mistake. I wasn't expecting much, but it was worth a shot. I think if it was a product they had a bigger markup on they might have eaten the loss, but with iTunes cards, I doubt they are making much if any $ on them even at the $80 sale price, so it would have been a big loss for them to take with the thousands that were being ordered.

Stories about WM's BF online problems that mention you guys on the forum here: http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/25/walmart-black-friday/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/online-sales-leap-20-percent-on-black-friday-just-sporadic-reports-of-glitches/2011/11/25/gIQAQDg6wN_story.html

The first step listed above is done. The next step will be adding the Cyber Monday forum a little later today.

Another webcast added TONIGHT!

Yeah I can do that. I'll include more cards too next time. The BF cards were meant to be handed out before BF.

Also, as we always do, starting late Sunday night if you go to the Black Friday site, you'll be automatically redirected to the main, year-round GottaDeal.com home page where we'll also be posting Cyber Monday deals. There will also be Cyber Monday deals posted in the Online Deals forum by our members.

We're going to do things the way we've always done: * Late tonight and tomorrow, we'll move the threads from the Online Black Friday Shopping sub-forum to the appropriate individual store sub-forums for any further discussion. * Once that forum is cleared out, we'll rename it the Cyber Monday discussion forum and I'll begin to post details of Cyber Monday sales that we've received. We'll also open it up for anyone to post new Cyber Monday sale threads for sales you find. * After Cyber Monday is over, those threads will be moved to the Dead & Expired Deals forum (a sub-forum of the main Online Deals forum) for any further discussion. * The remaining Black Friday forums (this main forum & store-specific boards) along with the Holiday Discussion board will remain open until the end of the year at which point they'll all be combined into one forum and archived with the other years. Just wanted to let everyone know what was going to happen

I contacted some of the national media people I've been dealing with this year to let them know (and gave them this thread to look at). Maybe if there are some negative stories about it, WM will get the hint and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Just ran through the list again for the tracker. A few items that were sold out are back in stock (nothing too exciting) but if you're looking for somethiing, here's the tracker: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Tracker/WalMart

I'm going to close this thread. All reports can go in this thread from now on: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?240029-Official-One-and-Only-quot-What-I-Got-quot-amp-quot-My-Black-Friday-Experience-quot-Thread

I know everyone is frustrated with WM, but PLEASE do not constantly refresh this thread non-stop. If it continues we'll close the board again and I don't want to do that. Thanks :)
