Best Buy is offering a promotion involving $100 off the iPad Air. If you have a valid .edu address you can also take $50 off. If you have the current AmEx promo you can take that off as well. If you buy the 4G versions and activate it in store you will receive yet another discount on top. All in all this is a really great deal if you've been looking for one or want to MS.

I bought one last night, but added a $200 VGC, then split payment on 2 Amex cards, getting another $50 off (Thank You Amex 
And it's back-to-school tax free weekend here in Albuquerque.
I still have an online code for $150 off select Lenovo/HP laptops, and $100 off MacBooks if anybody wants. They expire tonight.

Mine expired last night as well. Did you sign up for and get the email after midnight today?
I debated on adding a hotspot with my Verizon carrier for an additional 100 off (really around 75 off if you factor in the cost of the hotspot) but decided it wasn't worth the hassle of deleting that account with Verizon. Last time I did that it took forever to get the charges reversed! But think about 275 off an ipad air! Major resale value!

Am planning on purchasing an iPad today from Best Buy. My plan of attack is to purchase $800 in Best Buy gift cards from Fry's Supermarket (4x fuel points) with my Old AmEx Blue, 5% back and pay the remaining amount with my SPG linked card for the $25 back. Hopefully this is the best way to maximize my savings!

One thing to keep in mind for those that are keeping the Ipad is the value of the extended warranty from Amex. If you put 100% of the purchase on 1 card they will double your warranty up to a year. I think the Ipad has a 1 year warranty, so this makes it 2 instead of 1. I used the Amex extended warranty about 8 years ago on a projector that died on me, and it was a pretty easy process. They ended up refunding the entire projector cost, since it was less to replace than repair. If you split this purchase amongst multiple cards and/or use gift cards, then you will forgo that benefit.
I do that a lot as well but with the Blue Cash Everyday at grocery stores for 6% back on all spend. If you aren't in a rush I would wait on an iPad because with school coming up and a new model coming out I bet there will be some great deals to be had.
Fair enough. Any and all advice is appreciated, though.
