    $5.00 = $250.00 spent

    $1,249.99/ $250.00 = $20.00ish

    I think you skipped some steps with that math. the final answer is correct but you had me confused for a second. Anyways, it sounds like you'd get exactly 25 $

    do they take points off if you get a price match?

    I picked up my 6860 today, they had double points and 18 months no interest. I know it will go on sale tomorrow, but I will go back and get the difference! If someone wants to give me 18 months to pay I will take it.
    Their double points thing is for the rest of the summer - through mid July I think - It is retroactive back to 5/5 as well.

    Personally, I have more than enough cash to pay for it, but I chose the interest free option because they were offering it. I hold on the $1400 for 18 months and draw interest on it. If someone offers me that option, I will take it every time.

    yeah i would always want to pay all at once. especially because some places repo the item if you miss a payment or are late.although i suppose it is also go for your credit to wait.

    If you bought it with the Bestbuy credit card you should get back $50. If you paid cash or used a different credit card, according to what others have said, you will get $25 assuming you swiped your rewardzone card and $0 back if you used neither.
