you can get it even cheaper if you use one of those $ off coupons. If you order online, they may or may not remove your coupon after you PM. Best to try at B&M store tomorrow. I know where I'll be after work.

Has anyone ever had problems with PM and rebates combined? I'm assuming that Staples accomplishes its PM by "returning" the item you bought during rebate period and "reselling" it to you at PM price, outside of rebate period.

You typically need to send in original register receipt (which is now marked "returned" by Staples cashier). Even if you make a copy of it beforehand and send in copy, if rebate processor checks the receipt number, that transaction has been "returned."

I'm just wondering if anyone has completed a rebate transaction after having "returned" the item, outside of rebate period, for purposes of PM. Any problems? Any feedback? Thanks!

i won't be able to make it tonight. Is the $79 price online or at B&M store? Are there any codes or rebates that I can apply to that purchase?

it is for B&M for next week, but at online you can always PM to B&M next week if your B&M still has it in stock. remember, to get rebate has to be purchased by today.
