I found this great coupon for this week for Best Buy!
http://image.emailinfo2.bestbuy.com/lib/fef41d77766c04/m/43/13729-2_MasterCardPromo_Coupon_final.pdf (http://image.emailinfo2.bestbuy.com/lib/fef41d77766c04/m/43/13729-2_MasterCardPromo_Coupon_final.pdf)
It's as the title says, the only catch is you must use a Mastercard, and it must be an in store purchase. I'm going to assume if you want something online, and they can order it for you in store, this coupon will also apply.
You're welcome guys!
Time for me to decide whether I want to upgrade my mobo, get moar HDDs, buy games, or finally get those fans I wanted...

Gonna stop by Best Buy this week and check out the pickings. Thanks!

Crap.. there's almost nothing keyboard related at bestbuy.. maybe a usb hub, but that'd never hit $100..
Almost everything that's $100 at bestbuy is a rip-off... ;D..
Thanks OP for the coupon

This is true that Best Buy products are usually overpriced, but it doesn't seem to rule out things like Steam wallet codes and the like :)

The only things that you can't really get elsewhere for cheaper (brand new at least) that may be of interest for us is computer components and games. They don't generally have a large market for that stuff so they can't buy it in bulk. Everything else though is absolutely a ripoff though.

every computer component I've ever seen on shelves were priced much higher than egg and amazon.
Even when I had a friend with employee discount, it's still higher.

Wonder if they'll claim that iPads fall under the excluded Apple iPod category. Not that I have a Mastercard anyway.
-
Does it work in Canada's Best Buy also?
-
damn i still have a paypal debit mastercard that i don't use anymore but still works, i love how there is a huge list of things excluded from eligibility.
problem is really i can't think of anything i need from best buy anymore, maybe some headphones? oh wait Sony and Bose headphones aren't eligible and i keep telling myself the next headphone purchase i make will be good ones not some off the shelf crap i have now. hmmmm nope can't think of anything i need that they have. Moving out of Atlanta made me realize just how crappy best buy's are; i miss Fry's and Microcenter.

Thanks OP, I'm getting %50 off my UPS now!
-
Kindle Paperwhite for $69....tempting...

That sucks. Well at least the ones I'm looking at are not outrageously marked up. I know this because I get no employee discount on the items I'm looking at, and they're surprisingly close in pricing the as the same items I see on Amazon and newegg.
Micro Center is has a lot of awesome things! Headphones are really marked up anywhere you go to buy them.

Doesn't say it doesn't!
-
They will price match over the phone but that doesn't apply to this offer
-
Good find, but IMO bestbuy is only there to look at stuff before I purchase it online for cheaper
-

That's a good buy. Wish I had a Mastercard to take advantage of either that or an iPad mini.

So apparently Best Buy caught on and now there's a new coupon that's only valid TODAY with a much larger list of restrictions on it. Full list of details here: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/88178/best-buy-stores-best-buy-coupon-50-off-100-instore-purchases-via-printable-coupon
Some lucky bastards managed to make the most out of the original coupon before they caught on... http://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=57007756&postcount=3174 o.o

Damn it... I was going to get something before work tomorrow. And I'm sure that's only for the gift cards though. I wonder what other restrictions they've put on this coupon. I hope you can still get games and the items I was looking at.

has no MasterCard Credit Card :(

The coupon is now dead. :(
They essentially killed the coupon because of the craziness that some people have gotten.

You could get some nice Logitech speakers :D
And... They have Razer keyboards!
I think I might get something headphone or speaker related.

Pretty much. You know someone definitely got fired for overlooking the basic restrictions that deals like this should have (i.e. gift cards). Very few things were worth getting after they restricted it to being a SINGLE item $100 or more ($99.99 didn't count).

Those are marked up. The regular cost for Best Buy is way less than retail for those items.

I really hope somebody is held accountable. You don't know how much of a living hell work has been because of that coupon, and I work in Geek Squad! I don't even talk to that many customers! I hate how Best Buy makes moves like this that bring negative media, and somehow expect to turn things around when we're basically a laughing stock showroom for online retailers.

My local bestbuy employees are disrespectful hooligans, , even the managers.

Sorry to hear that. Where I work is usually pretty good. But I can definitely say that I work in the best Geek Squad in the area. :p
