lmdriscol Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Stupid Iowa BB stores. No 7 hour deals for us - instead we get $15 GCs for every $100 we spend (making the Westinghouse TV $695 instead of $480, and I'm not camping out for that). Guess they're not getting our money this Friday. This sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you and stick around after BF as this site is open year around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Ohio is back and Iowa gets this "special" deal. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyfamily Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 How do you know Iowa store are doing the gift cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mmy Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 You can preview the ad online now, and it asks for your zip code. I'm assuming he did this and it said that they weren't doing the doorbusters in his area. I wonder why they do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manduh203 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 It must have been certain cities in ohio cause I live in akron ohio and they didn't do it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbrown27 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ok so this migh be a repeat but here it goes. I went to the BB web site and looked at the flyer for firday and put in my zip code and looked at the flyer for my region, and it does not have the 189.00 emachines computer. So I got to checking arround in other zip codes and for another state next to mine they have it but not in my state they only have the 15.00 gift card for ever 100.00 spent. SO I remember this happened last year that some stores for BB were doing the gift card and others were doing the sales. WATCH out cuz you might not be in a area with the sales you are looking for ! GO AND CHECK IT OUT!----this is also in Nebraska .. SUCKS!!! .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sucks. some stores in iowa and IL are going to do this instead of doing the national ad and some stores also are giving you a choice between the gift certf. or the ad depends on where your store is located......

willa_51501 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 okay okay, I just got off the phone with my old mgr. ( I used to work for BBY ) he said that you have the option of the national ad, OR the gift cards... and that they HAVE TO HONOR the national ad. look at it this way, if they are doing this where you live, then that means fewer people will have seen the ad we have all seen on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
