Thanks!

I too am up in the air about the Elite versus the COD bundle. I already bought the COD game at the special thing TRU had so I would have to return it, and then the gc I got would make it less $$ back I am sure, but the COD one still seems like a good deal. Ah, so many decisions. I am dying trying to find a deal on Xbox..... =(

I like how we are not supposed to email or even talk about the ad, etcetera, according to Wal-mart legal reps. Um, does that mean I cant talk to my hubby about it when he gets home or they are going to sick their lawyers on me? I see their point, and they probably think they are starting some hype by being pretty much the only ones without their ad leaked/posted on main sites, but I really think it is hurting them more than helping. I already have planned where I am going at this point, and it is totally not WM.

All-inclusive trip to somewhere bahama-ish. Realistically, I would really like this ruby/diamond bracelet set on clearance at Helzberg but hubby probably wont come through on that one (partly because I havent told him about it- I told him my list this year included a special, really thoughtful surprise. He keeps saying The Snuggie. Ugh.)

cant get it to work? Is it on specific items?

The orders were placed 4 days apart and the second order (which just came yesterday- the small order) was the one with the card in it. The promo states from 11/1 -11/30 (placed one order 11/2 and one 11/6 or something like that). The reason I am mad is because they are wrong in their answer, telling me it is for orders over $10 only, but they sent the card with the order that was less than $10 and not the one over (she says in her email back- The Secret Reward Card is in every order that is $10 or more. Our records indicate that your second order was only for $4.99. I know, but that is the one the card came in!!!), and the fact that their fine print does not state anything about the order being over $10- it specifically says "with your purchase", not a $$ amount. If it said the thing about the $10 order minimum, I would just chalk it up to having received one which would have been appropriate, but it does not state that so I think they are wrong. I think mine is realistically worth $10 too, but it is always exciting to think you could get lucky and get more =)

This month I have placed two orders online from Victorias secret. One was over $50 and one was only for about $5-6. In several emails and previously on their website, it was showing that you receive a Reward Card redeemable in December with every order. The first order did not come with the reward card (the 50+ order) but the second one did (the small order). So I emailed them today. They have the gall to tell me you only get the reward card on orders of $10 plus and I received that with my second order. Um, hello, that is the order that is less than $10. ???? How does that make sense. So I reviewed the email I received just this morning that again states the details of the reward card promo and it states absolutely nothing about a $10 minimum. It says this: SECRET REWARD CARD Receive a Secret Reward Card with your purchase. Your Secret Reward Card will be shipped with your order. Valid only on in-stock purchases made now through November 30, 2009. Offer valid while supplies last. Maximum of one card per order. Not valid on previous purchases. We cannot replace lost or stolen cards. Secret Reward card is redeemable December 1-24, 2009 in stores, online or by phone. Card has no value until 12:01 a.m ET on December 1, 2009. We regret that we cannot divulge card's value. Card's value will be revealed at time of checkout. International customers: to ensure timely delivery of Secret Reward card in order to redeem by December 24, we urge you to make your purchase by November 21. Where does it say $10? If I was wrong that would be one thing, but to come up with some BS like that is lame.

cant believe the DC are so cheap- might have to get my son some too- at the mall here they are like $60-$80!

Any good oriental trading codes out there?

So does anyone on here think it will be likely that I can get the Xbox 360 w/$50 gc if I get there a little bit after open? I know it will be super crazy there because of the TV and I dont want to stand in line.... ????

Target RCA 7" portable DVD player- $47.00 Xbox 360 Elite (with $50 gc!) - 299.99 Xbox 360 black controller- 39.00 1.5 qt slow cooker- $3.00 Rival microwave- 24.00 kmart 5 drawer tool center- 79.99 Hellboy II DVD- 3.99 grand total= 496.97

was at BB tonight and the salesguy told us "well, not sure what the day after thanksgiving sales will be like this year" so I said "I do!!" Got some pretty dirty looks from his manager =)

finally found a halfway good clearance at my Target tonight on Xbox 360 games- they had added a lot more titles that the last couple of weeks- found two that my son would probably play- A Tom Clancy game (that one has been there a while but he saw it and said he would like to play it) and Lego Star Wars. One was 14.98 and one was 13.98 and got to use my 10 off coupon!

We had a beta in a big tank when I was younger. We have had lots of betas in fact (over time- separately of course). They pretty much survive anything I believe- I think they come from nasty water places. I think they are probably about the easiest fish for survival/care/younger kids- they live in those crappy little cups in the pet store. Just make sure when you pick it that the colors are vibrant so you know it is halfway healthy =) I miss fun Santa stuff!

well, okay xbox 360 deal I guess, but we have 2 BB stores for a population of 250,000+ and there is no way I am standing in that line! The one year my son and I tried to go, the line was wrapped around the store twice. =(

Pretty much not enthused here either. I keep checking the ads to see if there is something I missed but havent found anything yet. Pretty disappointed with xbox 360 stuff so far- have seen better sales currently. The Xbox Live gc at Sears with the Elite console is sort of okay, but the fine print says 2 per store which I find pretty lame =( I think the Target $50 gc is better. So far not even planning on getting up early for BF shopping

I agree that the ad was misleading- it should have stated something like "bonus, rewards members get ..... additional or something like that". I got the $20 gc and used my $10 gc for $75 purchase coupon that came in the mail so got the Xbox 360 game, hulk smash hands (was looking for them anyway) and this cheapo calculator for my purse from clearance for about $82 total, then the $30 gc back, so overall pretty happy. This particular game was my sons #1 game on his list anyway, so would have bought it regardless.

I dont have my card either, have never had one (I signed up online)- you just give them your phone number, kind of like the grocery store cards =) You can also print a temp card on their website

If it works that way, that would be awesome. And you could do the two games deal and make it even better: Free $25 gc when you buy two of these games + $30 gc when you buy COD2 and 1 more game for rewards members + the $10 gc for over a $75 purchase from the front of the ad, giving you $65 in gc after buying two games. I think it is going to be hit or miss depending on each store and how they interpret the ad, still deciding if I am going to go try it out or not

This cracked me up this morning!!!

yeah, there is another site that has refurb stuff too, I just cant remember their name right now- geek something? Ugh, cant remember!

Used Tarzan and Jane pillowcases. When I received them, they were a joke. They were previously given to my mom as a serious present (really, the person that gave them to her was being nice, but they were soooo ugly), but she decided to regift them to me and made them look more like my hubby and myself! We were going to give them back the next year but somehow I lost them.

They are also doing the reward card through the end of the month (get a 10, 50, 100 or 500 reward card with your order, good to use 12-1 through 12-24)

I think you should be able to find one without much problem this year- when I was at Best Buy the other day they had like 90 of them up on a shelf.
