Illinoismom Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 can not be much of a test program as they did it last year too, Must be stupid people if they need two or more years to see that they lost business
Dorf Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I think it is rewarding us folks who know how to use the internet, because our Iowa ad clearly says goto bestbuy.com to get the rest of the 7 hour specials..
badboy1072 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Posted November 23, 2006 I think it is rewarding us folks who know how to use the internet, because our Iowa ad clearly says goto bestbuy.com to get the rest of the 7 hour specials..read the ad you "cant" buy the 7 hour ones online.......da! as for the gift certif. program they clain they made more money doing that than any other type of promotion they had ran during this time last year .......so they say...
Dorf Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 No, what I'm saying is my local ad, says check out bestbuy.com to for Bonus Thanksgiving Specials, plus research all our 7-hour in-store specials. Why would they tell you to go online to check out the doorbusters if they won't honor them?
Dorf Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Well, I can see them not having the doorbusters, but what do ya'll think about the Panasonic Plasma 42" They dont list that as a doorbuster but one of those "other" specials not in the ad?
Just Me Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 What did the ad look like in the area's not having door busters? When you log on and pull up your ad by zip on the website does it not show the door busters? I am getting ready to leave and want to make sure I just had a bad paper since it had a 7 day ad in it for BB and thats it. I'm all parinoid now lol
Dorf Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Try a zip code of 50677... Waterloo store. You will see the non doorbuster ad.
SVOShark Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 It says on the 7 hour page listing all items that: DETAILS Quantities on all items on this page are limited. No rainchecks or substitutions. Not available at Best Buy stores in Iowa and Nebraska, BestBuy.com®, or by phone. Best Buy's price match policy does not apply to items on this page and is not valid on prior purchases. Nice, that's about the last time I ever go to Best Buy.
willa_51501 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I had a lady in the Omaha store tell me if I brought in the ad she would honor it, I wanted the 32" westy and she said they had 15. Last night the circuit city online deals happened and I got the 32" Olevia for $5 cheaper. Paid $5 for three day shipping, glad I dont have to wait in line, and hope.
whoarethey Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I went to Best Buy this morning (Waterloo, IA) and they honored the ads without question and for every $100 you spent you got a $15 giftcard.
badhoy Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 My son got me the Westinghouse 32" LCD for the national price in West Des Moines in this morning. They refused to give him the national price and the gift cards (that's $60). I'm going to talk to the store manager tomorrow and if I don't get the gift cards I will complain to corporate and file a fraud complaint with the Iowa Attorney General's office. No where in the add did it say either the national price or the gift cards and that's what they told my son at the store.
eschlichte Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Bought the 32 Inch Westinghouse today. Not in the dubuque, ia ad but they still handed out tickets before the doors opened. So not sure why the ad did not list them. I did not get the gift card deal though but don;t care. I got the tv and it is an excellent tv!!
lmdriscol Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Our Best Buy honored the national ad, no problem. Got my Westy! :) Made the papers, too - we were the first ones in line at 5:30pm!
Dorf Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Badhoy, if you look at the bottom of the first page of the Iowa ad, I thought it said that the gift card ad was not valid with any other promotion. What I got from that was you could either get the national ad price, or the gift card, but not both. Dunno.
mamapenguin Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 That sucks! Y'all can move here to Oregon where we have door busters & no sales tax. High gas prices though, they don't trust us to pump our own. You win some.......you lose some.

What I got from that was you could either get the national ad price, or the gift card, but not both. Dunno.the store in the quad cities (IL) told me you could either get both but i bought a 42 inch westy today and they told me since you get national ad price no gift certif i was like the 100 person in line i got a 32 westy and a 42 inch westy plus i bought a advent the week before it went on sale and they priced matched it when i went to the service desk i was the 2 person in line and they told me they dont like price matching but they did it so all is good now:)
Hoyle1 Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 i went to dubuque, i got the national price and the gift cards on laptop dvd player and all the other stuff
badboy1072 Posted November 25, 2006 Author Posted November 25, 2006 i went to dubuque, i got the national price and the gift cards on laptop dvd player and all the other stuffwas any of them door buster they told me no gift cards on door busters:(
winkx01 Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 screw best buy!!! I was going to go to dubuque at midnight, but I was told that they wouldn't have the national stuff when I called, so I didn't go until later. Now I find out they had the 32" tv I wanted, and on top of that, I didn't the 19" samsung LCD I wanted either. Man I am pissed right now!! :mad:
Hoyle1 Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 was any of them door buster they told me no gift cards on door busters:(some you could and some you could not, if you couldnt the ticket said no gift card on it but everyone that we had did not say no. i think there were some tvs that didnt have it
