Super hot deal through AAFES

[HercDriver]

AAFES.com is having a GREAT deal through Dec 31st: order online and use the promotional code of 6HOLIDAY2 (on the checkout page you put it in the box at the bottom and hit validate, if memory serves) and you can get 25% off. They also do price matching (though I am not sure exactly how it goes, though there is information on the website), so you can get an 80 gig iPod (for example) for around 270.

Also, there is free shipping on most items, but 100 bucks extra on oversized items.

Lastly, you can open a Starcard and get an additional 10% off.

So go for the price matching and try to get the add'l 35% on that 40+inch plasma HDTV...the porn will look better and you will have saved cash.

Thanks for the great tip! (six hours after I bought my wife's $300 Christmas present at navy-nex.com)

just a note of intrest.. it's 25% up to a total of $500 discount

Yeah, but I was told (by someone who purchased a computer) that the 10% off with the Starcard can go beyond the 500 bucks. Haven't tested the theory myself.

You beat me, slacka! I wasn't able to use it for a computer, as "Aafes Mall" purchases (ie Dell, GameZone, etc) aren't eligible.

If you're a first time STAR CARD purchases, SHOULD be able to get another 10% off.

ALSO - Aafes.com does ONLINE PRICE MATCHING ... so if you find, say, an LCD TV on Bestbuy.com's web site, email or call Aafes.com ( http://odin.aafes.com/newsletter/match.htm ), and tell them to match the price.. then tack on your 25% ..

I didn't do it, but I did the math and found the Philips - Ambilight 42" Flat-Panel LCD HDTV 42PF9731D/37 on both Bestbuy.com and Aafes.com web site. Bestbuy has it on sale for $2300. Get the price match, tack on 25% - $2300 - $500 (Max $500) = 1800... - $180 (additional 10% if using STAR for first time) = $1620 + $100 = $1720 shipped. If it all worked out ok.

Source for the code was from here: http://www.fatwallet.com/t/74/678694/

As someone mentioned on there, 25% is limited to one time per person - HOWEVER - someone on the above linked thread said they bought with their name, and then their spouse created an account using their SSN and what not and was able to make another purchase using the 25% code.

Another note, I guess sometimes STAR sends 10% off coupons.. may be able to use that as well. Unsure.

Oh, and I won't be in today... in case you hadn't noticed. :sleep_125

Did you try to get them to apply the discount? I called to see if they'd give it to me on a large order I'd placed but not received yet. After 40 minutes on hold I was told that discount was for AAFES employees only not active duty types. :icon_rage Just trying to see if its worth another call during a different shift to see if I get a different answer.

No I haven't called. I made my purchase at Navy-Nex.com not AAFES and I'm deployed right now so I'm using that as my cover story for being too lazy to call.

 

[tk628]

it worked for me... but as a note.. its a 1 time use thing...

It also might be limited to 500.00 in total discount. My cart totaled $2,099.00 and the discount took off exactly $500.00.

Not that I'm complaining... the first-day Military Star Card 10% knocked it down to 1439.00, shipped, no tax.

Thanks for the heads up HD.

It goes on the entire purchase...even over $500. I bought all my uniforms and stuff coming out of OCS on the starcard. It was a nice discount but a nasty bill still!!!

Also as an FYI AAFES sells the Bose X aviation headset. Using the 25% off coupon that becomes a whole lot more appealing.

I just found out Deers has my birth date wrong, which is why I couldn't log in for the longest time.

It was mentioned in this thread that they do online price matching, how is that done? Online chat always diverts to the away message. Phone calls have had long waits, etc. The email thing has yet to net a response. How do you guys get them to price match?

This is dead.. they are no longer taking the code, I just tried it
