n81vp-d1 sale

Hi all,

THIS DEAL IS STILL AVAILABLE.

I just bought the n81vp-d1 with bing's 20% cashback and overstocked.com's club-o 5% WHICH IS STACKABLE with bing...I have read this on forums and talked with overstocked.com sales reps. regarding this issue. And to the best of my ability I believe this is so. I will let you know if anything goes wrong with it.

Final price with both:

$957.00

I am not sure if overstocked.com does the $50.00 mail in rebate...Overstocked.com said they did not...But I have a feeling they did not know what they were talking about.

So, I have a possible price of $907.00

This is also available for a Window's 7 free upgrade from my understanding...I figure even if it is not...Is it still a good price.

I am crossing my fingers everything goes right. Bing.com/cashback scares me...

I figure in the end, if it does not work out...I can just return it. Overstock.com has a good return policy...

BTW...Overstocked.com is an Asus authorized reseller....This is stated on Asus' website...So I will have a full warranty with the item.

If anyone thinks I should cancel it for any reason...Let me know...I can do this in the next 24 hours.

I have had problems with bing.com/cashback in the past, but I am hoping it will work this time.

However, to the best of my knowledge...I think I made a good decision.

Don't forget that certain credit cards extend the warranty for an additional year when bought on it.

I am also planning to buy N81vp-D1..can you let me know step by step procedure to avail this discount.

 

go to:

www.bing.com/cashback

search for: overstocked

click on the cashback advertisement on the top or left side of the screen.
It should say that you are going to receive "20%" off, not "4% to 20%."

Put in your email address.

There should be a banner now on the overstocked.com website that says your 20% off should be activated. However, this banner might not come up until you get to the account information screen. Just make sure you do not purchase unless this banner shows.

Search: club o (the letter, not the number)
click sign up and add to your cart.

Search: n81vp
add to cart

Checkout...

You should receive an email from bing.com/cashback within about 10 minutes...If you do not receive an email within 12 hours...I would think about canceling the order before it is shipped.

Hope this helps...

Adam

 

I tried to do that...When i selected Club 0 into my cart..

1255$(n81 price)+19.95$(club o member ship)..Total is 1275$ then 5% discount is applied on 1275$ which becomes 1212$ at final check out...Then i contacted overstock customer services that 20% bing cashback is not showing at my checkout they said that you will recieve a check of 20% off from Bing within 60 days....i said is there any guarantee for that...the rep said for that you need to contact bing...Now i still have not recieved any confirmation email from BING as of now...its more than 20 minutes passed ...

please suggest

 

i see that there is a drop-down list for "platinum protection", which has the options:
2 years with AD (~$170)
and
4 years with AD

assuming AD = accidental protection, i assume that this refers to the asus warranty.

the price of the D1 before the warranty is ~1255.... if you add the warranty I believe that offsets the cashback you receive....

 

OKADAM111 your views?

 

It will not show in your checkout as subtracted from your price...However, there should be a banner on the top of the website saying that "your bing.com cashback has been activated at 20%" or something like that. The banner is blue.

You will then get an email from bing.com/cashback a little later with the added cashback that you have earned to bring the price to around $950.

The warranty that comes with the laptop is the standard 2 year global warranty and 1 year accidental. There is no need to buy a warranty on top of that through overstocked.com

I will be checking the forum now and then today if you have any other questions.

 

That means you have placed the order using two items in your cart which includes club 0 and n81 laptop and then after placing order you have recieved email from BING?

now i have read the terms & conditions for bing cashback which states that you will not recieve cashback if any one of this happens ...check out the condition "h"...dont you think adding club 0 comes under this and ultimately cashback can be denied...I would be waiting for your answer as I will order my notebook after your confirmation

You will not earn cashback savings on purchases where (a) you close your browser or open the store's web site in a different web browser or tab; (b) you click away from the store after clicking on an eligible advertisement; (c) your browser is not configured to accept cookies; (d) the purchase is not completed in the same web browsing session in which you click on the eligible advertisement or listing; (e) the order is later cancelled or the goods or services are later returned; (f) the store does not report the purchase to us; (g) the goods or services are acquired for resale or other business purposes ;(h) you use a separate discount or coupon with your order (i) you exceed the annual monetary cap on cashback savings; (j): you purchase gift cards or gift certificates; or (k) you make a purchase from yourself or from entities that you control or otherwise in collusion with other people.

 

I asked the sales reps. at overstocked.com if I could combine the two. And, multiple times I recieved the same answer that you could indeed use both. I guess they are not considering your club-O account as a discount or coupon, but more as a perk of being a member...

However, I guess use at your own risk if you are worried....The worst that could happen is that you would have to return the laptop for a refund to get your money back...Even though that is a pain.

 

please confirm one thing you have placed the order and recieved the email later from bing that you will recieve the 20% cashback right?

 

Yep! I have. I have received the email that the 20% is in my account.

 

I have just placed the order....now lets see what happens...one thing was different today the bing banner was not showing 20% discount there was just written that your purchase qualifies cashback....when should I expect the mail from Bing cashback...after how many hours did you recieve?

 

Anyone confirm if we get the $50 rebate and window7 upgrade on top of this? I have been stuck between a fully loaded U500 Toshiba and this....This might be the decision maker.....Thanks!

 

as per my understanding we will recieve the 50$ rebate as it applies on all n81vp-D1 purchased between perticular time period.

 

I have no reason to not believe that the rebate would not work. However, when I talked to the sales rep. at overstocked.com they did not know really what was going on with the rebate.

I feel about 80% confident that the rebate is going to work. However, even if it does not, it is still a great price.

Also, it did not take long for bing's cash back to show up in my account...Maybe 10 minutes? I heard it takes up to a day to show up...But, after a few hours I would start to worry. I would actually cancel it and maybe reorder if the cash back does not show up within a day.

Adam

 

Its more than 2 hours and I have not recieved the email from bing about cashback...Bing site says it can take upto two days to show up the amount of cashback into your account...One othe reason could be that I payed it through Paypal and still in my paypal account its showing as pending and at overstock site its showing as "Processing"...In my opinion when my transaction is complete and overstock confirms it then i might get any email from bing about cashback....lets hope for the best

 

I did pay with a credit card...so there could be a difference with that.

Did you make sure that there was a blue banner telling you that your 20% was activated when you were putting in the shipping and charge information for the laptop?

Adam

 

Yes there was a blue banner...It was saying 20% discount yesterday but today when i placed my order the blue banner was showing that "bing cashback is activated shop now and earn your cashback"...there was no mentioning of 20% discount

 

Just placed my order. 1210.99 after discount out the door. -I also didn't see the 20% just the cash back banner. 918.80 after the rebate (if we get it) makes it a great deal.

 

Welcome to the club Maxwell ...Good Luck...do reply back as soon as you see any update from Bing...I will also update every one as soon as I get any email

 

OK I went to my bing acct and it said I had 50.92 pending so that's only 5% making the total 1109.37. Not that much of a deal

 

that means they have changed from 20% to 5%

 

You earned $50.92 from your Overstock.com purchase on 8/19/2009:

Details cashback
Overstock.com
Unit price: $1252.99
Quantity: 1 $50.12
Overstock.com
Unit price: $19.95
Quantity: 1 $0.80

For more information about Bing cashback, see the cashback FAQ or contact us.

 

you paid through credit card or paypal?

 

I just followed the directions I gave to double check it is still active....The 20% off is still going on...You probably went about the cashback in a slightly incorrect way.

If you just go to www.bing.com/cashback, then click on cashback stores...then click on cashback with overstock.com...You will only recieve probably 5%. THIS IS THE WRONG WAY TO DO IT. If you did this, you might want to cancel the order, and then try the correct way again. It is fairly easy to cancel the order from overstock.com if you do it in a timely fashion.

I explained in the past post what to do:

YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU TYPE IN THE SEARCHBAR "overstocked" or "overstock" and then click on the advertisment on the right of the screen or the top of the screen. Do not click on anything else.

 

oooo. there are two banners for overstock on the side...must be the way they have the ads set up. I clicked the other one this time and got the 20%. Canceled my first order and when I sent out the second order it still gave me the club o discount even though i canceled it.

 

BTW, if anyone else is interested...You can use the same method as stated before to get 25% off through bing.com/cashback to get a refurbished g50vt with a 1680 x 1050 for a little over $600.00

Got the email. Used paypal (Im a business account holder so not sure if thats why its already done but overstock and paypal still show order and payment pending) They already canceled the other order and canceled my paypal payment.

Here is the email

You earned $250.60 from your Overstock.com purchase on 8/19/2009:

Details cashback

Unit price: $1252.99

Great I am glad it worked out for both of you. Please post how it turns out when you get the laptop!

 

i was not able to cancel my order from overstock...they said that the order has been forwarded to warehouse...but they will give me full refund if i return them as it is (sealed Packed)...I saw at ovestock that there were only left 3 N81s so I ordered again using exactly same procedure as told by okadam111 and i got 250$ in cashback in my bing acount as pending....

 

nice. good for you. My paypal shows paid and my order is now showing processing. I also received the official cancellation email for my first order.
Does anyone know how long they take to ship?

 

well my 1st order was shipped yesterday within 5 hours of ordering...you will get the fedex shipment tracking number most probably today..

 

Well, the 20% on overstocked.com has dropped to 12% and the n81vp-d1 is sold out on their site...

My computer comes in the mail on Monday!!! I am pumped!

 

mine shows shipped via FedEx this morning and delivery Monday the 24th also...They are shipping from Cali and I'm in AZ so we will see. I'm going to have to start thinking about what to do....Complete windows 7 64 reformat or run it as is for a while and just dump some of the bloatware.

 

Is there anyway to get the 64-bit version of Vista/Windows 7 without paying for an upgrade from the 32-bit forum?

 

Thanks again Okadam111 for letting us know about such a great deal

 

No problem!!! Enjoy!

Did anyone get their laptop in yet?

 

well i recieved the 1st order which i will be returning because i could not get cashback on that....My 2nd order will be recieved in 5 days for which 20% cashback is in my account.

How sure are you guys that we will recieve the amount of cashback which is in our bing account...because i have doubts upon combining it with club O

 

I got mine last night via FedEx. I haven't had time to do anything with it, though. Prior to touching it I want to upgrade to 64 win7. I guess I have to get a 64 vista prior to that (I only have 32's at home)...I like it , though.

The case is shown in gray and what I received is a black case so that's a nice touch. Also the FN key is where is it supposed to be. Buttons all click nice including the trackpad. Only thing I miss is my chicklet style backlit keys and slotload drive.

 

can you please post some pics of your notebook

 

I recieved my N81vp-d1 today...i really like the notebook..its really solid looking and fast machine..design is very stylish and bronz type color below the keyboard does not look odd...the most impressive thing is the cooling system of the notebook I was not expecting such high end notebook with so low tempratures.

 

Does anyone know if this still works. I wasnt able to do this and was wondering where I could get hold of the Asus N81Vp-D1 for a good price?

 

Well, the n81vp-d1 is not in stock on overstock.com...However, I would say that you can still get 17% percent off your order if you use bing.com/cashback and overstock's 0-club membership.

There are some other decent laptops on the site that you might want to check out.
