Welcome to the "Online Black Friday Sales" Sub-Forum


Recommended Posts

Posted

This is the 9th year we've had this particular sub-forum. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, this is where we'll be posting information we receive about the major online Black Friday sales and deals.

 

As always, to keep things organized and to prevent spamming, only the moderators and myself will be able to create new threads in here. Everyone can reply to the existing threads however. So once we post a thread for a sale, if you have info about starting times, or want to post a coupon you found to save everyone some money, go ahead. The more info you all share, the more useful this forum will be.

 

If you know of a specific online Black Friday special, either PM me with the information or (preferably) use the contact form on the Black Friday site. We'll take a look at it, and if it looks good, it'll get its own thread in here.

 

I will attempt to only post information confirmed by the retailers or our affiliate reps to avoid confusion. If we make guesses/predictions based on past years, we'll be sure to label them as such so nobody is disappointed if they don't come true.

 

We will not have a thread for every possible sale. We'll post threads for the sales we think will generate the most discussion based on past years here on the forum. If you really think about sale deserves a sale, contact us. There will be more online Black Friday sales posted in the Online Hot Deals sub-forum.

 

We'll use the thread titles to indicate which sales have started by adding a [sale Started] tag to threads for sales that have started already.

 

Also, remember that this is a very popular sub-forum, but it's useless if we have to close the forum because of server load. So PLEASE do not constantly refresh threads every few seconds. This really is only an issue when the items go on sale (late Wednesday night), but take it easy on the server. Thanks.

Also, for those of you who are trying to win the iPad Air 2 in the contest posted here, posts made in this Online Black Friday Sales sub-forum will earn you double entries for the rest of the contest :)

So discuss the sales, post the deals you find (please include links), ask questions, let us know what you order, whine when Best Buy doesn't put their items online when they said they would, etc...

here's a question? you stated in the tips & tricks to have coupons ready for the online sale. I have swagbucks that automatically pop up saying there is coupons available, but takes a minute to scan... will these work or will it hamper the possibility to get your deals quickly or even work for "Black Friday" online deals?? I am new to trying to get online deals so I can actually spend time with my family on Thursday!

it will hamper, most stores will set out quickly while you wait on if there is a coupon code that item you wanted might sell out

For those online shoppers make sure you know your CC's cvv code (those 3 digits on the back of the card) all stores now require you to enter them at checkout they no longer save them so every time you check out you will need to enter the correct code. Have it handy and ready.

 

For those stores that offer free shipping Best Buy and Target. Check Out each time you add something to your cart, this is to make sure you get that item, you can check out in another window while you still browse, but you dont want to lose that Doorbuster while you continue to shop as placing it in your shopping cart does not reserve the item for you, In other words its not yours until you place the order.

Also, if you found a deal that you want to post about in one of the threads, please include a link in your post. That does 2 things: 1) it helps people who might want the deal to get it quicker without having to search and 2) it helps out the site because with most stores, anything bought through that link earns us a small commission :)
