The original Netgear Nighthwak (staples-hot-netgear-nighthawk-ac1900-wi ... s-1795955/) deal posted by aswlee is dead courtesy of Amazon.ca, but I was able price match the Netgear Nighthawk at Memoryexpress (http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX48616) for $4 more. At $134.98 the original deal was really hot, but I think that at $138.98 it is still a good deal. The deal is YMMV because it is out of stock online at Staples.ca, but what I did was:
1) Found it in stock at a local store and bought it at $179.49.
2) Called Staples (877-360-8500) to get a price match with Memoryexpress
3) Was VERY polite with the CSR
4) After they processed the price match, I asked about the $20 off online coupon. This is the YMMV part as the CSR originally said that it was not applicable because I bought it in store. I politely pointed out that the Memoryexpress deal is an online deal and that I could just order it online from Memoryexpress for $149.99 + $8.99 instead of through Staples. I wouldn't say that I used superior negotiation skills as he acquiesced very quickly and decided to process the $20 coupon.
5) Wait for the difference to be processed back onto my credit card.
So basically,
$179.49 (staples price)
- $20.51 (price match with Memoryexpress and their $8.99 shipping cost)
- $20 (online coupon for $20 off $150 purchase)
= $138.98 + taxes
Remember, this price ends on September 1st at Staples (the Memoryexpress deal ends on September 21).
