However, I had some issues with my order.
#BEST BUY SPECTRE X360 PLUS#
I originally had my fingers crossed for a net cost of $1191.90 plus the ~$110 in tax I paid on the purchase price). It didn’t (neither on this purchase nor one that my wife made separately). I also linked my Capital One card to Dosh hoping that the 3% back they were offering at HP was a card-linked offer that would trigger another $41.10 back even though I hadn’t clicked through the Dosh app. 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 SPECTRE X360 SERIAL#
Last week, I wrote a post titled, “ A day in the life of a serial stacker“.
