Best Buy Pricematch and coupon?

anyone ever get a price match and use the 10 percent off coupon that they send out in the mail at the same time? Just wondering if I need to be prepared for an argument

Be ready for an argument. I have never been able to use it even on sale items at the store. They only honor the coupons on full price merchandise.

Like all BB and CC, it depends on the CSR. I've had them do it before, but more times they've turned me down.

Yep, I did with Day After Tomorrow & I RObot CE. the store clerk had the manager come over and I'm like "Listen, hypothetically, if I bought these at your $19.99 prices, I could turn right around with my Circuit City ad and price match it at $17.99 plus get your 10% difference so it wouldn't be any different if you price matched it and let me use your 10% coupon right?" He thought for about a second and said "I see". THen to the cashier chick "Yeah, go ahead and take it off". Yay for me!. But obviously this is a huge YMMV.

Check out in dvd bargains where someone has a thread asking what the best price for Fox CE dvd's are cuz I broke down the prices there...total was $28.06 or some chage for both dvds.

I got the 10% coupon to work with the Double Reward Zone Points coupon. I bought a $400 camera, though, so it might depend on what you're buying.

What he "didn't see" was the 10% off coupon applies to the total price but the 10% off PM applies to the price difference of the PM
