Buy.com introduces the Revolution card!

Buy.com tries to push the envelop in retailer-branded credit cards by offering the aptly named Revolution card. So what's the revolutionary aspect of the card? You still have to pay your balance, that's not the revolution :) But rather you get $20 off your each one of your next three orders at Buy.com. That's a total of 3 times $20 = $60 off! Each one of those purchases has to be $50 or more. They are not giving stuff away :)

What is also different about this card is that it is a PIN-based credit card, meaning that you have to enter a PIN to use it. This provides extra protection, although some people may consider it extra hassle and yet another PIN number to remember.

Buy.com Revolution Card - Apply Now and get $20 off $50 your next three Buy.com purchases!

Panasonic TH-50PX77U for $1400 from OneCall.com

Reputable online retailer OneCall.com (1Call.com) has a great special for those interested in a 50" Panasonic plasma HDTV. The Panasonic TH-50PX77U is on sale for $1400 after you use promotion coupon code HOLIDAY07.

This Panasonic HDTV features 1366 x 768 resolution, 2 HDMI inputs, a built-in SD/MMC memory card reader (oh Panasonic you are so smart ;-), side-firing speakers, 720p/1080i, built-in HDTV tuner (ATSC and QAM), contrast ratio of 10000:1, the darned V-chip, peedestal stand, a variety of inputs and outputs (component, composite, RF, optical, HDMI), and weight of 88 pounds. For more details, check OneCall.com.

For those note familiar with digital tuners, ATSC is the digital equivalent of NTSC, it can pick up digital channels off the air, using your antenna or your coat hanger ;-) QAM is a digital cable tuner and can pick up channels from your cable signal, providing the channels are not encrypted by your local cable provider. Different regions and cable providers decide to encrypt different channels so your mileage may vary. Usually you may get the basic cable channels (network, PBS, etc) plus a few more digital sub-channels of those. But as I said, check in the Audio/Video and TV forums to find out what's available in your area.

Preparing for Black Friday!

Planning ahead is a key to a successful Black Friday experience. That, and hiring a fullback, or the defensive line from your local football team, so they can make way for you :)

Gottadeal does a superb job of covering the Black Friday ads. They have posted ads from numerous big name retailers, such as Circuit City, Best Buy, Staples, Target, Sears, Walmart, Costco, Macy's and tons more. Be sure to visit their Black Friday pages.

Another strategy, for those who don't have the time, the energy or the desire to hassle with hundreds of other deal-hungry shoppers is to find deals at second tier retailers and go for those. While the malls, Circuit City, Fry's and Best Buy are going to be crazy, smaller places, like independent Radio Shack stores or drugstores or smaller chains will be more manageable and it will increase your chances of finding what you were looking for. Of course the "get" from these may not be as exciting as the "get" from the big stores, which is why they have so many more people liked up :)

Amazon deal of the day: Milwaukee 6016-6 1.8 Amp Orbital Sander for $30

Meet the new AT&T Universal Rewards credit card

In the coupon section of the Sunday paper, on the front page of the Valassis coupon book, we find a new offer for the revamped AT&T Universal card powered by Citibank.

What are the proposed benefits of this card?

0% APR on balance transfers until December 1, 2008

up to 10% off eligible AT&T products and services for the first 12 months. Read the fine print for the details

No annual fee (as if!)

Earn 1 point for every dollar you spend (the typical 1% reward)

The most interesting part of this card is obviously the 0% APR for 12 months, and from a rewards perspective the 10% off on AT&T products. According to their own fineprint, you get 10% off on AT&T products and services for the first 12 months, and 5% after the first 12 months. However, the maximum you can earn (save) from this is $350 per calendar year.

So if you are a heavy user of AT&T products and services, or if you like the 0% APR for 12 months, then you should take a look awt this credit card.

The 1% rewards program on all other purchases is just too average these days. The program is managed by the Thank You Network, which means that the rate for cash conversions is even lower than 1%. It is an effective 1% when you have enough poitns to redeem $100 gift cards however.

Free after rebate this week in the Sunday paper

Let's see what type of freebies we have this week in the Sunday paper!

At Rite Aid, it's double rebate on select products, and the second rebate makes them free. All can be submitted online by simply entering the receipt data from your receipt on the Rite Aid rebates website and you are done! No need to mail anything or cut upc codes! The free item is Nature Made's Rx Essentials Daily Supplement Nutrients. Limit one rebate, assorted formulas are eligible, 30 to 60 ct. The price before rebate is $10. Sales tax is not refunded however.

On the software front, the Norton Internet Security 2008 software suite is free after two rebates at Staples.

Also Fry's Electronics has a nubmer of software titles free after rebate!

Please check the rebate terms, for some of the software titles, they are free after a competitive upgrade or an upgrade from a previous version.

Amazon has a new promotion, $5 off almost 200 magazines. The instant $5 rebate is before the price you see listed on the Amazon website.

Bucket Boss Brand 06067 Pro Super GateMouth tool bag for $35

Today's deal du jour at Amazon is the Bucket Boss Brand 06067 Pro Super GateMouth tool bag for $35 and free super saver shipping. If you are not familiar with this contractor's in-lieu-of-tool-box tool bag, there are 21 customer reviews posted on it. It weighs 4 lbs, and if you like pockets, it has 39 exterior pockets, 10 interior pockets. You'll probably need a map to figure out what's in each pocket :)

There's also a special offer running from Amazon:

Save 10% each on this and other qualifying tool bags offered by Amazon.com when you purchase 1 or more

Revere Copper Clad 9-Piece Cookware Set for $50 today only!

Today's deal of the day at Amazon is the Revere Copper Clad 9-Piece Cookware Set for $50 with free shipping. Perhaps encouraged by the fact that both kitchen and dining lightning deals on Thursday sold out, Amazon pushes on with more kitching and dining deals. What's for lunch Amazon? :)

There is one customer product review on this at Amazon. The shipping weight is 12 lbs. This ships separately from the rest of your order but there are no additional shipping charges because of this. Since it ships free anyway :) This is a nine piece set but please keep in mind they count the lids as pieces too :)

What's coming up at Staples next week? (11/11 to 11/17)

It is Dell week at Staples next week as the mail-order company "discovers" yet another brick and mortar chain. And Staples celebrates this marriage of convenience by giving Dell their front page ad in their Sunday paper weekly circular.

Of interest is a 22" Dell widescreen LCD monitor for $270 without rebates even, a Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop for $780, also no rebates, and a Dell Inspiron 530MT PC bundle for $750.

The Dell Inspiron 530MT PC bundle includes a 19" widescreen monitor, and a tower PC with Intel Core 2 Duo E4400, 2gb memory, 500gb hard disk, supermultiformat dvd burner, 13 in 1 memory card reader, Vista Premium, and lots more.

Staples was smart in not putting rebates on these offers, even though Staples Easy Rebates rebates are among the best in the industry. A significant number of people are allergic to rebates and some hate them with a passion, so offering their debut Dell deals rebate free makes them the ideal doorbuster. Expect excitement and perhpas long long lines at Staples next Sunday morning. If nothing else, this should be good training for Black Friday and the start of the holiday shopping mad rush! Black Friday is almost here shoppers! Get ready! I recommend hiring a fullback to help you push everyone out of the way. And I am not kidding :)

The Staples very weak rewards program continues to instist on 10% on ink, toner, paper, copy and print only. I guess since they have one of the best rebate programs in the country, they had to have one of the worse rebate programs to balance things out :)

If you like free after mail-in rebates, Norton Internet Security Suite 2008 is that, but beware these are mail-in rebates, not Staples's online Easy Rebates.

However Acer is trying to steal Dell's thunder with the Aspire AS4520 notebook at $500 even, and without rebates. This is a nicely featured notebook, with the usual features, including dvd burner, webcam, memory card reader, dual core processor, Vista Premium, but it has a 14.1" wide display so that may be a turn off for those who like 15.4" displays. And if you do like bigger displays, the Acer AS7720 for $750 has a 17". Ouch for Dell, someone is trying to crash their party!

If you are interested in office furniture on a budget, they have a page full of chairs and all-in-one workspaces that won't break your budget, but they also won't make you look like a Fortune 500 CEO. And with good reason, because very few are :)

Have too many cds and dvds all over the place? A 50pk of slimline jewel cases is just $9 from Memorex. Also, a 2gb PNY attache is $20 flat.

Last but not least, you get a free Epson R280 printer when you purchase any of the three cameras advertised in the Staples circular. They all include a free 1gb memory card with purchase. The biggest deal is the Sony Cybershot S700 (with the free 1gb memory card) for $150. Not bad for brick and mortar! The printer is free after the award winning Easy Rebates, so you don't have to mail stuff in!

American Express Membership Rewards Double Points (until Jan 31, 2008)

Check your emails and your snail mail! American Express has a new promotion for double points! That's right you will earn double points, which means you can get 2% on items that usually get you 1% on just about every credit card out there! So this could be huge!

Here are some details from the American Express email:

As a special Cardmember, you have the opportunity to earn double Membership Rewards points on virtually every dollar you spend each month, from November 1, 2007 through January 31, 2008 (up to the maximum allowed). The Membership Rewards program offers exceptional rewards and experiences, and now more of them can be within your reach.

You have to enroll by December 15, 2007, although it's probably a good idea to enroll right away and starting earning 2% where you could have been earning 1%!

And here is some of the fineprint:

Beginning 11/01/2007 and for each calendar month through 1/31/2008, you can earn one point and one bonus point for every eligible dollar of purchases charged during that month to any personal or small business Card linked to your Membership Rewards account. *Total bonus points earned each calendar month are subject to maximum monthly limit of 5,000 points. Corporate Card purchases are excluded. This promotion cannot be combined with any other bonus points offers. Bonus points will be credited to your Membership Rewards account approximately 12–14 weeks after charges appear on your billing statement.

And one more thing, if you are not familiar with the American Express rewards options, be sure to go check them out first. If the items they have there do not itnerest you, then perhaps you are better off using your 1% credit cards for rewards (or cash) that you might be interested in. But the AMEX rewards program is faily flexible, you can get gift cards as well, or even buy stuff online by paying with your points.

And the other cool thing they have, if you already know how many bonus points you are going to get, you don't have to wait for them to post to your account, you can take a Points Advance and get your rewards right away!

Opinion
Obviously it's hard to predict what you are going to be buying and from which store because it partially depends on where the good sales are at. If you are a morning person and you are planning to make big purchases in the next few weeks, option #2 would give you the most rewards. If you exclusively buy Best Buy branded products, then go with option #3. If you are planning to buy at least $500, then go with option #1. Otherwise, consider #2, #3 or #5.
