Do you mean that since I bought my Sony Blu-Ray 13 days ago, I can take my receipt and get 5 free movies in store. I already sent out the paperwork for the 5 free via mail. I can get 5 more, ohhh yeah.

Just a heads up. I called my local Best Buy and I was told this promotion seems to be only with Sony Blu-Ray players, and they are only honoring the backdated receipts if it were 2 weeks from today date. Now this is what my local store told me, I dont know if it would be different for different stores. I hope this helps.

I see, I am not contradicting you. I was just letting folks know what I was told. I am going tonight to try and get my 5 free in store, I will let everyone know how it goes.

So I drove 17 miles to the local Best Buy and the deal that I talked to an associate about this morning doesnt exist. I explained to them that I spoke to an associate this morning and it meant nothing. As of right now the deal they have is that if you buy a Blu-Ray player you get 5 free mail in, they say that their ad only goes until saturday, that maybe on Sundays ad they will be offering that special. So I think Erik is correct that it starts on Sunday. Keep this in mind before you folks waste your time driving to your local store. I wish I could find that sales person from this morning and ring his neck.

Well I got jipped by BestBuy. I caled and asked if I could go in and take my receipt and get the 5 free in store movies, I was told yes by a Produciton Manager. I drove the 17 miles, got the kids all excited picked the 5 movies, went to the register and was told "No". I asked for the Production Manager i spoke on the phone with and he said he made a mistake. The problem is I bought my DVD player on sale, for $299.00. The players are now $399 so in order for me to get my free DVDs I would have to have the player refunded and then charged $399 and I could get the free movies. I cant have my cake and it eat too. I cant buy the blu-ray for $299 and still get the 5 free in store movies. THAT SUCKS!!!! I walked out and made myself a promise not to ever go back to Best Buys. I pass a Circuit City, Wal-Mart, Video Only, Target and even a Family Owned Home Theater store in order to get to Best Buy, this is the second time I have been disappointed by BB and wont be going back. I got screwed out of $250 3 weeks ago because I went to buy a Sony laptop that was on sale for $1849, I went to the store and they were out of stock, I said I would come back the next and the sales man said no problem, I went back the next day first thing in the morning (sunday) and they were now $2099, same sales man remembered me and said there was nothing he can do. I had to buy the laptop because I was replacing one of my employees laptop that was stolen out of one of our airplanes, so it had to be that one. I work too hard for my money and dont appreciate the lack of customer support from BB. I live in a very small town, and see the same people at BB all the time, and they seem to remember me because they wave and say hello when I see them at other locations. Oh, well back to CC or even Wal-Mart. (These other places dont offer any customer satisfaction but they are less expensive and if I am going to be treated like crud at both places, I would rather do it at the place that costs less. That is my 2 cents.

Anyone familair with the Toshiba Free mail in 5 disc HDdvd promotion currently underway to the end of feb 08??
I'm reading on the web at other sites that the promotion is such a success that they have run  out of discs and customers have been waiting for weeks and weeks and have been told they have to wait even longer..

((with respects to pplchamp, don't mean to hijack your post, but the ad does expire on the 29th..

don't get me started... i've been waiting forever.... they claim the discs are coming... its been 4 months... im actually a part of the rebate before the current one!!!

Honestly I have always shopped at BB, I love their variety and the customer service is pretty good. Like I said, we live in a small town. The guy that works in the video camera department is also our local high school history teacher, he works at BB for fun and extra cash. We bought our video camera from him, and it great that way. But when I go out of my way to shop there and get treated like I did today, I start thinking twice about shopping there.
