ASUS EEPad Transformer10-in Android tablet for $299.98 @ Staples

I'm in California and all the Staples stores around me say they don't have the product in-stores and best buy tells me that their price match policy does not include coupons or discounts - only the standard price. Office depots in my area are also only honoring it for the blackberry playbook & the acer iconia. What do they have against asus?! :'(

Have you tried Fry's? Only electronics store I went to when I lived in San Diego

I thought I was way late in the game to even try, but the OD in Racine, WI practically thanked me for bringing in a Staples coupon. The manager gladly accepted it and made a stabbing motion with his pen as he confessed to me that he loves sticking it to Staples whenever he can, lol. He even knocked off an additional $50 so I walked out of the OD with the TF for $249!!

I took the last 16gb and there are 3 32gb TFs left, but the guy made it sound like he'd take rain checks for the 16gb TF so if you're near the area, GO GO GO!

I'm in san diego, best buy honored mine, but at another best buy my friend works out, her manager got written up for price matching. So its a mixed bag.

Fry's might be a good shot. I was there yesterday and i know they do sell the transformer.

When I moves to San Diego and discovered Fry's, I never even set foot in a Best Buy again. Since I've moved back to NY I really miss that store...a lot

Can this coupon be used at BJ's? Does anyone know? Thanks.
 
Re: ASUS EEPad Transformer10-in Android tablet for $299.98 @ Stap

I tried Frys and they would not honor it because apparently they do not take coupons, it has to be the flat price. =/
 
Re: ASUS EEPad Transformer10-in Android tablet for $299.98 @ Stap

Just got back from Best Buy and they took the coupon. Had a gift card and some reward zone points and ended up getting it for $275 with no interest for 6 months. I freaking love this thing! So glad I got it. I have been putting off getting a tablet for some time. About time I stopped dragging my feet!

Congrats, that is nice. Still trying to get another Transformer, 16gb, for my wife but no luck so far. Office Depot, Best Buy would not take the coupon in my area. Not sure about BJ's, waiting to see if anyone confirm if they do not take it either. Do not want to drive everywhere and end wasting $ 100.00 in gas.
:)
 
I got shut down at both Best Buy and Frys Electronics today. :( They almost honored it at Frys but since its sold out at Staples online store they wouldn't honor it. I may try one more Best Buy, but I'm drawing the line there. Congrats to those of you who were able to get in on the good deal.

Only two days to go. Ask your Staples if they can order it into the store for you.
 
Re: ASUS EEPad Transformer10-in Android tablet for $299.98 @ Stap

It turns out that my local Staples does not carry the TF in the store, but that didn't stop Office Depot from honoring the coupon. I got my wife to pick it up for me ln her way from work. I've been resisting buying a tablet thinking they'll be much better by the end of the year, but I couldn't resist the $100 off. Now I have to save for the keyboard dock.

Still learning to type on the virtual keyboard. :)

Could somebody please post their receipt from BB or OD? We could use that to price match their own price. They won't be able to talk anyone out of that. We will really appreciate it. Thanks!
 
Re: ASUS EEPad Transformer10-in Android tablet for $299.98 @ Stap

When I went to Best Buy, I had the coupon, a print out of the online staples pricing and the Best Buy policy, just in case. Their policy does not state they do not honor coupons but that they will price match a retail store's price. So if you use the coupon at a retail store, they should match that price.

I ended up not needing anything but the coupon as they said they have seen it before and honor it since that is what I would have paid at Staples so all was good for me. I don't have the reciept to scan here at work but I will see if I can get home for lunch and grab it.

Yes that you be great if you could or somebody could scan us your receipt. Tried both BB and OD here in CT, but they do not want to honor the Staples coupon. And staples does not have any Transformer, not even online, so can't even order it through the store to use the coupon.

I picked one up at Office Depot the other day. They were reluctant, but finally agreed to honor the coupon. I don't have access to a scanner right now, but here is a pic of my receipt. Hopefully it's not too late for this to be useful to some of you.

Best buy told me no problem over the phone then offered $50 off when I got there. They said thats the best they could do. I called Best Buy corporate and complained got a $50 gift card then left to buy one for $299.99 at office depot. Office Depot did not give me a problem and it was the last one b/c she told me they sold 8 b/c of the coupon that week. They did not hesitate to give me the discounted price and earned future business from me. Im done with BestBuy for wasting my time. I was not in the market for a tablet but how can you pass this up?
 
Re: ASUS EEPad Transformer10-in Android tablet for $299.98 @ Stap

I bought a Transformer yesterday from Best Buy. Went back today to see if I could get them to price match but apparently neither of the two Staples store in Tulsa, OK carry Asus tablets. So no luck for me. :'(
 
Re: ASUS EEPad Transformer10-in Android tablet for $299.98 @ Stap

Office Depot honored my staples coupon as well. Staples did not have any in stock. I was not wanting to buy this until the fall but could not pass up this great deal.
