Target Selling A500 $299 from Aug 14th... - Acer Iconia A500

Ooops too new to post links but check it out on androidpolice.com.

Same exact price as when I got it a month ago.

Actually, it's $399 and you also receive a $100 Target gift card according to the Target ad. It makes a little difference (or a lot ) depending upon how much you pay in sales tax in your locale.

yeah i just saw the ad for it in the paper this morning. why can't i just use the damn card on the tablet

The $100 really helped in getting my wife to let me get this. I've had a Viewsonic GTab for almost a year. Also we used the Target Red card and got another 5% off.

HaHa
Man up dude.

Picking this up tomorrow! My friend works at target is giving me his employee discount and then buying the gift card off of me for $85! I am very excited and looking forward to my first tablet woohoo =]

Nice. Ever since I got mine I haven't turn my laptop on.

Walmart has the same deal too both online and in stores. I picked up one yesterday.
The Walmart gift card was much closer to cold hard cash for me since I can use it at their gas stations. Plus right now you get 10 off per gallon using a gift card.

I recently bought the 32GB from Costco. It was $429. I am considering a quick return for this model and the $100 gift card (Wal Mart).
This is my wifes toy and she uses it to play some games and browse facebook. I think 16GB should be sufficient?

I went today and they gave me 80 bucks back. I personally think Costco is a better deal since you get one more year of warranty, its double the memory and you have 90 days to return it. Also if you use an American express card you get another year of warranty (3 years total).

Just a heads up.... Best Buy is doing the same. I picked one up taday and got $100 gift card with purchase.
These are still coming with 3.01...

Who wants to save another 10$ ?
I just bought the A500 at walmart (through a friend) and now have the 100$ gift card.
I live in Germany therefore I can't use the gift card. I would sell it for 90$. I would recommend payment via paypal and shipping via email.
Is anybody interested? => please PM

Nobody interested??
New price: 85$

If true, you can get a refund up to 90 days. I am calling tomorrow to check it out. I bought mine 3 days ago.
I just got $50 plus tax refunded. Thanks for the tip.
Also, Wall Mart reduced it by $50, too.
Amazon.com (direct from Acer) is now below $400.
Target offers them now at $399.00 And with a 15% discount, cost is $340... I already own a VS Gtab, Asus TF, and the Xoom but at that price, I can't resist... Do I have an addiction to tablets?

I do not thing so
Is this a permanent price drop or is it only temporary? I'm looking at getting one but don't know when I'll be able to because I'm still saving up but other hobbies are taking up my money.

I too got my $50 but I had additional hoops to jump through. Since I was outside the traditional 30 day return window, (where costco can send back to the manufacturer) I had to go and BUY a whole new unit at the 429 price, take it over to refunds and return it on my original receipt. A little bit of trouble (had to have $429 available to buy the unit), but hey, it reset my 90 day return window and it reset my 3 year warranty (2 year costco, 1 year AMEX)

May I ask how to get the 15% off? Haven't found any coupon on it ...
Walked in, showed receipt, origional purchase date 50 days ago, no problem, credited my account.
Even gave me back my $50 membership since they aren't building one near where I live for 2 more years!
$398.00 at Walmart!
I think the price is going down to complete directly with the Transformer. Also, the newer models are out with more memory and the Windows platform.
The reason other places are still at the higher prices my assumption is that these units are already in channel at a price point from Acer (to ensure they had enough stock to sell). They do not want to sell these on thinner margins. Although...do they accept price matches with Walmart or Target?

Costco has a 32GB version, what about Walmart? From walmart online, the price for 16GB is still $449, the 32GB is $498, so the b&m price is 398 now for 16GB, right?
Since I was 2 weeks outside the traditional 30 days return policy. I got $50.00 cash card instead......
Which one do you like best?

Employee discount
target has them in stock for $399 until Oct.
the october date is suspect to me, that to me says Acer is bringing out another unit in Oct.
Target $399 + $50 gift card
I have next weeks sales flyer. Starting tomorrow (Sunday 7-17-11) Target is selling the A500 16gb for $399 + a $50 gift card *while supplies last.
If my math is correct that is like getting the A500 for $349 .
Best Buy and Staples both advertise the "new low price" as $399.99 starting tomorrow.
I think we are going to be seeing many more Acer A500 owners
just got my $50 back from Target for the Acer I bought two weeks ago. Life is good!

This information is appearantly incorrect. I just tried to buy one at COSCO and it is $429.
Damn, I just bought the one from BB this morning for 429 after taxes + 100 GC. If I can get the costco one, I am so down with that.
Last time I saw there was $429 about 5 days ago.

I picked mine up at my local warehouse today and paid $349.99 - that price drop finally kicked me off the fence - it may be a warehouse only price as it's still reading $429 on-line.
Got 80 back today, thanks

Thanks for the heads up. I just got $80 back.
I am tempted to buy a second one for that price.
If you really want a good buy - pick up one of the SanDisk 8gig micro SDHC cards - $17.99 - but inside the packaging is a coupon for 100 free 4x6 prints - a $13.00 value. So the card ends up costing just $5.00. Not too shabby.

Why don't just go to target and get the 8G for $9, with a red card, you won't pay too much tax either. Costco got a lot with free prints, even a picture frame.
I was in the store where I saw the deal.
OP, thanks for the post... I went yesterday and got back $80
A500 at Costco
I bought one yesterday (8/16) at Costco in Overland Park, KS for $80.00 off - 32G w/ case. Sale through Saturday, 8/20/11. It is IN-STORE only. Not available from costco.com
The sale is till they are gone, like the flip camera they have still going on for $100 way after sale stopped.

[Q] NC refub, a good idea?

i'm looking for a new tablet and found a refub of NC for 120$ is a refub a good idea?
with all the shipping cost it will go up to 169$, there are also other no name tablets (some of them are good) for this price (with the shipping...)
need some advice
Yes, great deal. I have bought one new nook and one refurb and you could not tell the difference. Do NOT go with a no name tablet or you will be crusing trying to do anything. The Nook is a great low priced tablet that is very hackable and easy to use. Plus it is unbrickable and can boot from an SD card

Ditto on buying a refurbished one. I also bought one new and one refurbished and could not tell difference. But check out the refurbished ones being sold on eBay directly by B&N for $119.00 plus sales tax and free shipping. Look at posts here in this thread for a direct link.
I have a refurb also that I got from Overstock. It was shipped from B&N. Paid 139.
It was in perfect condition with no issues. 1 year warranty.
So...at 119....it is a steal.
I'm glad to see that you guys have good luck with your refurbs. I ordered one from B&N on Ebay last night. $119 plus $9.29 OK sales tax. I can't wait for it to get here.

Refurb is even better than new. They rigorously test the refurbs so they are pristine.
Barnes & Noble is presently selling them on eBay for $129 with free shipping... And since you are essentially buying from B&N warranty issue should also be no problem.
I scored one for 119 plus 7 dollars missouri tax on Sunday night. Its gonna be a xmas present for a 4 year old who won't leave his mommies evo3d alone. I look forward to being part of your community.

It's a great idea mate. I bought mine refurbished with a 1 year warrenty and I'm happy as can be. Buying a NC new at this stage would be a waste in my options as long as you get it from a good source with a trustworthy warrenty furbed.
Get a good deal from B&N with ebates!
Ok, so I learned that ebates doesn't give cash back on Nook purchases. Now if you buy B&N gift cards (not customizable ones), that should qualify for cash back (8% as of now 11/30/11). B&N also has a $10 eGift card for every $100 gift card purchased promotion ($10 to be given after Christmas 12/26/11). Buy $200 in gift cards and get $20 later. You will also qualify for first ebates $10 gift card and cash back ($200 x 8% = $16). So if you're willing to wait for gift cards and cash back later, you can spend $200 and get $30 back in gift cards and $16 cash back via ebates!

Found a coupon for $10 gift card for $50 purchased at Target (in store only). Expires 12/3/11.

Don't forget to signup with ebates to get cash back and $10 gift card (Target, B&N, others..).
My NC came with very noticeable scratches on the bezel. The screen is perfect dough.

$50 Bestbuy gift card

Go here: http://tinyurl.com/d3eczlq by 2-9-13 to reserve your gift card. Activate a new phone between 2-10-13 & 12-31-13 to receive the gift card. Good in store or online.
Checked best buy website, they did what I expected. The note 2 price bumped up to $250 from $200 so the gift card offer is useless since amazon has it for $200 or less.
May still benefit other phones, I didn't check them.

That may be true, but how long can they keep these prices up for? They're bound to go down by the end of this year, which is fine since the promotion lasts that long.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If you signed up for the deal then call your local best buy and ask if they'll price match amazon wireless and give you the gift card. I just got off the phone with a store by me and they said I can get both. So I'll be picking up a note 2 next week on upgrade for $150+tax. Maybe less since the amazon price keeps changing. Its $69 right now for a new customer.

I wouldn't say that suk's. Got mine for $165 November 1st 14. That was a hell of a deal.
With a trade in (my ancient Optimus S) and a BB card it was $99. Here in Ca with the dumb azz green tax and such... $165.
1 buck, wow.
I just switched from the HTC One M7 to the Note 4. Went to Best Buy and picked it up for $1 and they were still offering $100 gift card.

Go back and have them price match! I picked one up on Sunday for $1 AND a $100 Gift Card! .....it's like they gave me $99 to take it from them!
Bagged mine back on Sept 18th for a buck on 2 year renewal as well.Went to local BB to see if I could score a card, but doesn't apply to online purchases.
Ahh well, still ahead of the game.
Thanks for the heads up. I got one a month ago when they were nowhere to be found. Got it on BB for $200 plus contract. Got one today for $1 for my kids. Evens out the score to ~$100 each.
the gift card isn't offered anymore ..well through online that is. is it only offered in store?

I picked up my Note 4 on Oct 1st for $99. I called up Best Buy yesterday and they gave me the $1 price match, but only for the charcoal version. The pearl white version still carries the $99 price tag.
Got mine in Best Buy on Sat for $1, and they gave me the $100 gift card.

I picked one up for the wife today @ 1 dollar and it's her birthday too... They are selling out fast around here, yesterday they were listed on the website as being in several stores close to my house but when I pulled the trigger today I had to drive 30 miles to pick one up. get on this train fast if you want one at that price.
Got mine.
I picked a Note 4 up for a dollar as well. I got the $100 gift "card",but had to pay $54.00 for some fee. I applied the gift card to this fee and walked out of there with a Note 4 and $50.00 gift "card"in my pocket. My stock battery life wasn't that great, so bought a zero lemon battery for it. Battery life is better, but no where near my S5 using the MOAR Rom. That sucker go 2 days moderate use on it. The note 4 gets a day.
$1 & More
My last Note 4 broke, went to BB & no great deal on the Note 5, but the 4 was running at the $1 price along with that $100 gc.... AND since i wasn't treating myself to a newer device, I promptly spent that gc on my fancy new Gear S2 classic. AND i'm super impressed the S2 has no issues communicating to devices with custom roms (fyi)
