$100 off Ipad 2 or Ipad Mini 3
Pretty self explanatory, use coupon code 68428. In-store only.
But is it a resale deal?
Sweet spots would be as follows (prices shown for Staples and Amazon, Amazon varies by color and of course the exact price changes frequently):
- Ipad Air 2 16gb – I wouldn’t bother $499 less $100 = $399 plus tax. But… Amazon price is around $430-$435 already. Not enough to work with, especially with some better options
- Ipad Air 2 32gb. Sells for $599 less $100 = $499 plus tax. On Amazon it’s ~$572 and sells fast. Real fast
- Ipad Mini 3 16gb: Sells for $399 less $100 = $299 plus tax. Amazon has it for $351-$365. Works for me!
- Ipad Mini 3 64gb: Staples has it for $499 less $100 = $399. Amazon has it for $467-$479. Another winner!
- What? You wanted more? Sorry, that’s about all they carry in store that you can use the coupon on
Ok, the ipad coupon is nice if you want to go to the store, but of course who wants to do that (hint, you should, to pick up Visa / Mastercard gift cards and get a $20 rebate on $300, but I digress..)
Well, if you absolutely want to shop online, here’s a nice little bonus for you
Remember, this says regular priced items so it may not work with sale items and coupons and I haven’t tested it much but I plan to.
Curiously, Apple is not one of the exclusions:

The Sears Grind
Yes, Sears has fantastic portal bonuses. Yes, we all know that deals suck. To make things work, you need to use the Sears double dip (e.g., buy gift cards at huge portal bonus, then buy stuff with huge portal bonus), and still find big points back deals, and hopefully use coupons.
Well, if you can scrape up a $10 off $50 coupon, you could make this Nakamichi headphone deal work (from their “hot deals” page:
I mean, they eventually do sell and net you $10 bucks or more, but damn, it’s painful to eke these out 1 deal and 1 coupon at a time. And yes, if you buy Sears gift cards at a discount you would definitely squeeze out a few more bucks, but I’m hoping something better comes along.
