I expected to receive 10% of the purchase price back from Capital One ($136.99). Since it is a World Mastercard, my Venture card has price protection and extended warranty, making it a not-horrible choice to use to buy the laptop since I can claim a price drop within the next 120 days to get some money back. Interestingly, my Venture card remained a Mastercard. You may remember that I previously had a terrible Capital One Mastercard that I product changed to the Venture card. Because I am not yet sure whether or not Capital One will pay out on those offers if you pay for your purchase with a different card, I used my Capital One Venture card to pay. Then I shopped through the Capital One offer for 10% back on HP.com (note that this is different from the Capital One shopping portal that Stephen wrote about last week, in my case I see this in my Capital One login). I used the private store sign-up I had mentioned in last week’s post to drop that price to $1369.99. It didn’t quite fit my dream specs (I was hoping for more RAM), but it had the must-haves above and a screen that would hopefully be bright enough to work outdoors when the weather is nice. There are a number of reasons for my decision (the combination of wanting an Intel i7 processor, a numeric keypad, touchscreen, and dedicated graphics card limited my choices I also just liked the look of the Spectre laptops comparatively and that matters at least a smidgen to me since I spend an inordinate number of hours looking at my laptop). I settled on buying a 15.6″ HP Spectre x360 laptop. Here’s what I bought and why I changed my mind. Over the weekend, I bought a new laptop - saving stacks of cash with no discount or rewardsstacking at all - and I arguably got a much better deal. Really, that post was to show the ways I had been thinking about stacking for big savings. The gist of the post is that I’ve been looking to buy a new laptop (out of necessity since a bit of damage to my regular laptop is finally getting in the way of day to day functionality).
#Best buy open box serial#
It's hit or miss.Last week, I wrote a post titled, “ A day in the life of a serial stacker“. Open-Box items items usually don't have manufacturer coverage, especially when it comes to TV's, so only buy if you have TotalTechSupport or GeekSquad.Īfter considering all the above and even examining the individual item, you gotta weigh it out. (on small items, chargers, and accessories.) And have extended warranty coverage on top of all that.Īnd yes I have purchased Open-Box items that didn't work right so I had to immediately drive back to the store the next day and get the New condition one that worked and lasted.
#Best buy open box install#
The only scenario where i'd recommend an Open-Box tv is if you bring your own protective blankets, are careful, take it home yourself, and install it yourself. You don't know how customers and even technicians handled them while being passed-around like Marilyn Monroe! Idk why someone here said not to, I trust BestBuy display models over customers monkeying with it. We had to ask for the accessories to get them. And even Excellent condition doesn't include the original cushion box! I didn't like the way GeekSquad handled my Open-Box tv, they don't wear gloves (gloves are cheap! And make cleanup a lot easier!) I don't trust the screen cleaner they use.
You gotta read the fine print! Tv's, even in Excellent condition does not guarantee accessories will be included but if you ask they'll include them. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.Your incident number is ********."
If you had purchased extended warranty with your place of purchase, you may speak with them regarding your extended warranty. We suggest contacting a local technician or electronic store for repairs. Regrettably, your Hisense unit is out of warranty as this unit is a open box unit and as such, we are unable to complete any repairs on this unit. "Hello ****** * ********,Thank you for contacting Hisense Customer Support. We also had a perfectly fine, all accessories, no damage 55U8G come to our Depot and it immediately went Write Off one time. Most Hisense TVs also get written off, so how I got one Open Box is beyond me. Hisense will not honor MFG if it was purchased as an Open Box.
I learned this out the hard way on my Hisense 65U8G that I purchased last year as an Open Box. This is not entirely true with Hisense TVs.
