HP Envy 14: Availabilty, etc.

I hope that it's just a short-term drop and it will come back before sunday...or else I may get a Dell XPS 16 with their 30% off coupon.

 

Yeah, tried refreshing, still 10% for me in Central time zone. Weird that its showing up different for some people.

 

Yup. Mine is 10% on two different computers.
edit: bing links are dumb.

 

still workin fine for me

Did anyone take the risk?

 

What cashback do you get if you search "HP Direct" on shopping and click the cashback link and find HP Direct?

Edit: If your first result is "HP Q6002A Yellow Toner Cartridge", HP is on the 7th page. Compuvest has roughly 100 prices for the same product apparently,lol.

 

25%..

I'm really debating on whether or not I should get the gift card. I don't want to be screwed $300 because that's against bing cashback rules.

 

but where would you buy the giftcard from?

 

straight from hp direct.

I've done some research and it seems like someone had success with a $100 giftcard at walmart and bing's shopping area does offer gift cards so..

 

hp direct sells giftcards 0_0

 

I don't get that ad at the top when I search it...this really blows.

 

Colors Gift Card | HP® Official Store

 

use internet explorer or turn off adblockers

 

Keep trying. Did you clear your cookies? Try a different browser. I had fits with the Best Buy Bing a week ago. I had to keep plugging away at it but I got the % everyone was looking at after awhile.

 

Wow, it worked!
For those who are also having trouble, I was using firefox w/adblock. It worked on IE with no blockers. (when's the last time I ever used IE???)

How will I know if it is actually 25% though? I'm pretty weary since on the homepage of BCB it shows up at 10%.

 

I use Firefox and had to turn off my adblocker.

I went to Bing and searched "Hp Direct" and the first link provided 25% cashback.

So it works, central time zone here (Missouri), I'm sure it works for other people too.

 

So now that you guys got it working, are you going to get the gift card? and how much are you getting it for?

 

Available in any amount from $20 to $500

It is my impression that we won't have to wait till the mail comes. We can use the code they'll email?


I think I will order 2 $500 of those. If you get the ones that go up to $2000 you have to mail it.
edit: http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/VGCPS1 or some other random design, btw.

 

there are ones that goes up to $2000

 

^ But those aren't E-cards. You'd have to wait for it to come in the mail, which may be after June 27.

 

true. i don't think i'll buy it when it comes out in this case.. i'll wait for coupons and use it with the gift cards... i just need to make sure this will work though.

anyone found anything on bing's terms that says we can't buy gift cards?

 

I've used it a few times for a few different stores. If the Bing click through window where you log in says 25% it'll be 25%. It should show up within 24 hours after you make your purchase. Bing Cashback has decent customer service. Just make screen dumps of your click through and purchase pages. Shouldn't need them though.

I'm interested if the BCB does work for gift cards. It's supposed to be site wide.

 

Let me get this straight:
It's a win-win situation. We buy the gift cards with 25% BCB, so it's basically $750 for $1000 in cards. Then we buy the laptop with either a 10% discount or a 25% discount. So take off another 100-250 dollars. We'd get both, right? Therefore, it's going to cost at the most $650, and at the least $500 for the base configuration.

Or is my reasoning wrong somewhere???

 

i am able to get the 25%... going to try the gift card route in just a minute.

 

If it works, that is the case. but bing have the tendency to take away your cashback if it doesnt follow their terms word for word

 

^ your reasoning is wrong because you can't get cashback with giftcards.

 

Anyone know if you can use multiple gift cards to pay for a purchase? I know Amazon.com wouldn't let me a few weeks ago...

 

Where did you find this?

 

you can't get cashback if you use gift cards on the purchase...

this is completely different from buying gift cards with cashback.

 

Oh, ok. But could I still use my academic discount with a gift card? That's 10% going back to the worst-case scenario.

 

you can use your gift card for anything

its a matter of whether or not you can buy gift cards with bing cashback.

 

I don't know if I'm following you...
Our plan is to buy a gift card with BCB THEN buy the laptop with the giftcard, using BCB or education discount on the laptop as well.

Are you saying this won't work? Or that we can't use the $250 from BCB that we'll get to buy the laptop itself?

 

I have skit it on the Envy 15 now. Loved it. Which it span the curve area too, it only fit perfectly to the flat top square area

 

You can't use a gift card on purchases with bing cashback but there's nothing that says you cant buy a giftcard with bing cashback.

For example:
bcb + giftcard = envy 14 <--- won't work
bcb + money = giftcard <-- don't know if it will work

 

You can't double up i.e. buy 25% off BCB for gift card, then get BCB when buying with a gift card it says here:

Bing Shopping

 

Ok cool. I've never used BCB before, but I see no harm in trying it. If it works then we have a nice deal, but if it doesn't, then we'll just pay for the laptop like we were planning to do anyway...just with a gift card.

I don't see any way that this is worse than buying regularly.

 

might depend on store...i know it works for the container store...

 

htwingnut, thanks for the info..

My plan now is to use 25% BCB for the gift card then my 10% academic discount for buying the laptop, using the gift card.

 

well it is guaranteed to work if you buy the laptop directly with bing cashback instead of buying a gift card.

 

I don't think the "buying a giftcard with BCB and then use BCB again on a purchase" will work ...

If it does work ... then what will stop you from buying a giftcard WITH your giftcard.

 

I'm thinking that the 25% won't last much longer since it is off their home page. Plus this way I will be able to use 25% BCB + 10% education discounts.

 

Exactly what I was thinking.
I'm not going to get a gift card. I'm happy with my minimum of 10% off and the +1 year of accident coverage my shiny credit card gets me if it pays for the whole purchase.

 

We're not "buying a giftcard with BCB and then use BCB again on a purchase"

we're buying a giftcard with bcb then use student discount + giftcard on the purchase. or the $200 coupons they give out.

 

You CAN'T use bing cashback to buy a gift card. I already had this idea when it was 25% about 2 weeks ago, so i decided to email bing before i do it, and they emailed me back saying that you can't buy a gift card using bing cashback.

 

Hey! You're not allowed to post information in this thread! This is a speculation-only zone.
(thanks for clearing that up)

 

I just asked on their forum, the answer is NO you cannot buy gift cards with Bing Cashback:

Bing Community

 

But if you search for gift cards at bing shoppin, you'll find lots with cashback available.

 

Ah, well thanks for clearing it up guys. I suppose I'll just hope for a 25% on Sunday..

 

You guys act like you HAVE to order on Sunday. There is a very good likelihood that 25% will come back in a couple weeks if this one doesn't stick around through Sunday. Patience young Padawan.

 

Those might be a different case where the store is offering those gift cards for Bing cash back, but i emailed specifically about gift cards from hp direct. So all I'm saying is they told me that you can't, so i wouldn't take the chance because i doubt you can return a gift card.
