I was surprised nobody posted the dockers deal at JC penney where you buy 100 dollars in Dockers apparel and get a portable dvd player. It's 6/4 to 6/10

Wow, this seems like a smokin' deal to me. I need some new shorts and pants anyways. And there isn't even an additional shipping charge for the DVD Player.

Not sure on the specs for the player though, I couldn't find the info on the website since the ActiveX controls or whatever they are weren't really working for me. Whatever, can't beat the price.

Thanks for posting!

so does anyone have info on the specs for this DVD player? is it better/worse than the $88 one offered by Target this week?

illini420

Well, assuming the player is the one that is show on the website, then the screen is wider than the width of a DVD at least. Not by much though. Also, the picture in the print ad shows it with a remote, so that's cool. Hopefully it comes with a rechargable battery and a car adapter. Who knows.

I just saw that you can do this deal with online purchases at jcp.com, sweet! [Until I saw that Shipping and Handling for a 2 pairs of shorts and 3 shirts is $18.95, or $40 for expedited. I think I'll just make the drive to the store.]

Thanks for the great deal, g. There is free standard shipping available on purchases over $49 through June 8 -- enter promo code "WPDADFS" at checkout. Another free shipping code, good through June 13, is "19COOKS".

illini420

Thanks, might have to try that then. Anyone know if we'll have problems getting the free DVD player by ordering online. The redemption form says you have to send the original receipt. Do you get an original when ordering online? Thanks.

SunMonkey

I will have to stop in this weekend and get some new pants. Thanks!

does that mean it only displays full screen images?

Groucho

I assume that means it has a 4:3 display and letterboxes everything else (like a standard tv).

BMAG

Interesting. It is a totally different model from what they were showing yesterday (a 7" widescreen display). I was planning on using mine to catch up on a ton of "TV on DVD" while on the train, so this 4:3 model will suit my purposes, as native 4:3 media will be nearly twice as large as on a 7" widescreen display. And of course letter-boxed widescreen media will display at a slightly larger size than on a 7" widescreen. (http://www.cavecreations.com/tv2.cgi)

Thank you so much for posting this. I just placed an order. I needed some more shorts anyways, my fat a$$ just "graduated" out of 34's into 36's so I need a new wardrobe and the Portable DVD player was an amazing bonus. 1 question though.

I have not used my penny's credit card in many many years. Do these things ever expire? Thats what I used for my payment and I would hate to see the order hung up because of a stupid thing like that.Thanks again for posting this!

This is cool. Just like the deal last year of $100 Dockers for a free TiVo, which I did. Probably won't do this one, as I don't really need the stuff, though you never know.

pinata242

The FAQ section of the site clearly states you can buy them at www.jcp.com, so I imagine you'll be fine.

Jeraden

Saw this discussed on another forum and they pretty much concluded that this is the particular dvd player in question:

And I am really looking forward to this feature: "Delicacy, super thin surface design enjoy super excellent individual lift savor"

I was looking through my spam folder today and the filter must have thrown an e-mail in there from 7-6-2006. It came from ([email protected]) The e-mail told me:

You are receiving this notification because you have not complied with the terms of the offer due to the following reasons:

The purchase was made before or after this rebate offer.
Incorrect or insufficient product(s) purchased for this rebate offer.
Original/Copy of rebate form was not complete or not included.


*I followed all the instructions to a tee, plus I triple checked it before I sent it out*


I immediately called jcpenny and they gave me a 1 888 number to thier jcpenny rebate center ( 1 888 632 7575 )

The weird thing is even before I was able to talk to a human, I got a recording telling about the dockers promo and where to "resubmit" your info to. Which I thought was kinda weird (unless they are screwing people left and right)

Anyhoo, i called the number and the guy said according to his records I did not circle the price of each item I bought, or the total cost of the order on the reciept I sent in. I know for a FACT I did this. AND I was not supposed to send in the reciept that came with my order (i ordered from jcpenny.com, not the B & M), that instead I was supposed to print out the receipt from jcpenny.com and send that in instead. Then litterally 2 minutes later he starts reading off from the promo form and he said " send in EITHER the receipt you receive with your online order, OR print one out from jcpenny.com. Then he basically said that stuff was not handled at his place and the only thing he could do for me is provide me with the address so I can resubmit the rebate offer sending in ONLY the receipt printed from jcpenny.com with a reference # on it that was on the rejection e-mail. He then informs me that from what he understands, they are not accepting resubbmissons. *end phone call*

I then did everything he told me to and proceeded to write a huge angry letter to enclose with the "resubmisson". Anyone else have this problem? If you have a spam filter and folder I would search for [email protected] if I were you......

When the sales ends?

mrmagoo

It ended about the second week of June (just in time for fathers day)

I recomment going to the fatwallet forums page on this:
http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/mess...hreadid=619766

My status finally showed up with a qualified today, but a number of people have had trouble. Check your status at www.expressgroup.com

illini420

Lucky here I guess since mine is qualified. Based on the FW thread looks like the player is now a 7" and not 8" and now it doesn't have a TV tuner. I'm still happy, as I'd rather have a 7" widescreen vs. an 8" fullscreen and I have no clue why I would need a tv tuner on this.

SunMonkey

I'm kind of glad I missed out on this one now....

mrmagoo

Thank you for that website (although it said the same thing, that I was rejected) I sent them a long e-mail, we will see what happens. Thanks again for the website and the fatwallet link

bboisvert

Looks like I qualified... saves me from having to dig out my copies of everything and bitch at them.


EDIT: Wait a minute. This thing *isn't* going to have the TV tuner? Son of a...

Why can't any of these rebate-type deals go smoothly? How hard is it to offer something and then follow through with what you promised when people meet your criteria?

Without the TV tuner, this thing is not anywhere near as useful for me now. Fuck.
