Question about BB

[trevorparsons]

Right now BB has an offer where you receive a $100 digital coupon upon ordering any digital TV. I know that their digital coupons don't arrive to you via email until about two weeks after you receive the product, but they also have a 30-day return policy. What I'm getting at is couldn't you buy whatever digital TV, receive the $100 digital coupon, spend the $100 coupon on something else upon receiving it, and then later return the originally purchased TV for a refund?

It's just a thought I came across and have absolutely no idea if it'd work or not so I thought I'd post it here to get some input on the matter.

Sure you can.

Just make sure that they don't apply any re-stocking fee (15%) to these products !!! Is this also a digital coupon that can be shared???

 

[trevorparsons]

No sharing

Nope, the BB digital coupons are solo uses, sorry.

I checked out the restocking fee thought and found this:

Special items
Please call Customer Care at 1-888-BESTBUY (1-888-237-8289) or e-mail us if your return is:

• A big-screen TV (25" or larger) delivered via special delivery that requires a delivery pickup

Also, the only restocking fee charge is for "returns or exchanges of any opened notebook computer, camcorder, digital camera or radar detector, unless defective."

So that "special" return might cause a problem, but otherwise it seems all good. Again, any thoughts on the matter please post 'em here. I'm still waiting on this to ensure it'll work.
