First you must sign up for a BING cashback account. Its very safe, and the new search engine from Microsoft and Yahoo. It provides cash back from many online retailers.
Now you can do this with most of the TV’s. LG currently has a $75 GAS card rebate that makes this really nice.
These are the rebates 1. BING.com 16% 2. Sears card 10% 3. Gas Rebate $75 4. 10% online discount from sears valid 8/17-8/22 – this one is automatic and instantly takes $80 off the price of the example TV.
How to do the DEAL.
1. Goto BING.com and sign up for an account.
2. LOG into your BING.com Account. Goto SHopping and Search for SEARs Electronics, or Craftsman. A sponsor link will appear. Click on it. It should POP up 16% CashBack. NOT sure what is should look like then take a look at this tutorial
3. After being taken to the sears website goto Electronics, then TVs and find the LG 50PQ30 50 inch TV which is $799
4. Place your order.
If you purhase with your sears card send in this rebate for another 10% off. Instead of using a SEARs card I used a credit card that DOULBLEs my Warranty (check your cards, mine was the Chase Sapphire card). NOW, check the SEARS rebate its only 5% up to $799, and 5% below that, so to get the 10% you may need to purchase something else – because with the instant discount its only $719.
5. When you pick up the TV at SEARs check for the gas rebate forms. $75 Gas rebate. This is the link to get the online rebate.
$799.99 currently
-80.00 less 10% online discount (valid 8/17-22), discount shows up in cart
-115.20 16% bing via “Sears Electronics” or “craftsman” search
– 75.00 gas rebate
-$36.00 5% Sears rebate (5% on $719)
$568.80 net price after promotional rebates with local pickup
Now for the bad news, You won’t get verification of the 16% cashback from Bing.com for probably 2 – 3 days. But, I figure thats OK, I do not have to pick up the TV for a few days and can wait to see if it appears. Also, as long as you to not use the TV you can return it to sears for a full refund, if its opened and they believe its used they will charge you 15% restocking.
So, I recommend letting the TV sit at Sears, or Pick it up and don’t open it – IF you read “The Frugal Factor”, this is just like the Home Depot Grill Deal. Also, give youself a cooling off period to see if you really want it that that the deal still looks go to you.
You can also do the DEAL above for other TV’s at SEARs, LG right now has the GAS Rebate, making the deal sweeter. Check AVSforum.com for reviews on the TV.
