Best Buy 9/23 Sunday circular ad error correction email

Best Buy has sent an email to people on their mailing list informing them of an error in their upcoming Sunday paper circular ad (September 23).

Of course savvy buyers may still try to get this ad price-matched at other retailers, hoping for an early Xmas present :-)

It is powered by an Intel Celeron processor, 512mb memory, 80gb hard disk, 14.1" Ultrabright widescreen display, cd burner/dvd player optical drive, and Vista Basic. For more detailed specs check with Best Buy or Gateway. And it doesn't hurt to read user and professional reviews either, not just with this model, but for all major purchases.

Nice Discover credit card offer in the Sunday paper

If you are into credit card rewards and special promotions, you will find this interesting! On the front page of the Smart Source coupon book Discover is promoting their Cashback Bonus card. It features the following exciting features:

special $60 Cashback Bonus when you make your first $500 in purchases (that's like a 12% reward on the $500!),

0% intro APR on purchases until April 2008 and balance transfers until October 2008

5% cashback bonus when you make purchases in the Get More categories that change four times a year (on a quarterly basis). A number of popular categories are included. For example this quarter the special is travel and gas, while next quarter is restaurants and movies and movie rentals.

Up to 1% cashback bonus on all other purchases, using the standard Discover tiered system starting at 0.25% (boo!)

But wait, there's more! If you buy online starting from the Shop Discover website when you log onto your Discover account, you can get an additional bonus of 5% to 20% from a list of participating retailers. This is probably the most generous program in terms of percentages as it features a number of webpages of big chain stores at a flat 5% rate, while smaller and more specialized stores earn 10%, and some even 20%! This is nice and very competitive if you compare it to Fat Wallet or Citi Bonus Cash Center or Chase Rewards Plus.

This concludes this message :) And remember, please use credit responsibly!

Notebook computer extravaganza at Office Depot (Sept 9 to 16, 2007)

Office Depot continues to have aggresively prices laptop deals. One thing to keep in mind is that you need to send in mail-in rebates in order to get these prices. Office Depot does not have online rebates, so you have to mail them in and patiently wait until they are received and cashed. And with that out of the way, let's look at the laptops in this week's circular, sorted by lower price first, just like you like them :-)

We have one sub-$500 laptop, albeit after two mail-in rebates ($180 total), bringing the price down to $450.
