Apple macbook air $685 after tax!!
« on: July 23, 2014, 11:33:23 AM »
Best Buy is has the macbook air on sale for $849.99
$150 .Edu discount makes it $700. Tax is around $60 in NYC. Total is $760.
Split the charge into 3 separate amex cards and use the current amex offer of $25 back on $250 per card.
Total is approx $685 including tax! (or $625-$635 before tax)

Is the edu discount still 150 or did it come down to 100. I tried to look for it by searching student discount on the BB site.

.EDU discount is only $100. However, you can use the 10% off single item movers coupon (in-store only; and apparently not everyone will stack them).

So:

.EDU
849.99 - 100 = 749.99

mover coupon
749.99 - (0.10 * 749.99) = 674.99

tax at 7% (NJ)
674.99 + (674.99 * 0.07) = 722.24

split into two transactions and use sync'ed Amex cards
722.24 - 50.00 = 672.24
