Wireless Wednesday for 11/13/13: With Mitch Evans - Black Friday Tech Tips
Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 4:42AM * TOPICS - Rick and Mitch talk some Black Friday tech tips and of course, the App of the Week!
Have a listen:
1. The Target iPad trade in (fisaco) - Moral - Read the Fine Print!
Rick got a ton of email on this - not all positive
Target is offering an iPad trade-in program through November 9, 2013.
The retailer says it will be giving gift cards for at least $200 for used iPads in good condition.
* These gift cards had to be used right then to buy a new iPad
Target says in order to get store credit towards a new iPad, you must make sure your iPad powers on and its screen isn't scratched.
If your used gadget passes the condition checks, you should then go to Target's trade-in website to find a participating store nearest to you
2. Do your research.
Stores may have the same items at drastically different prices.
Compare Black Friday prices. For example, compare a print ad to a retailer's website.
3. Remember a lot of these items are "limited quantities"
Carefully read Black Friday online and print ads to see if the Black Friday items you're looking for are available in limited quantities and, if so, if you can get a rain check before you start complaining.
4. Don't forget about rebates
Many of these deals include a main in or internet rebate of some sort
Make sure you have all the receipts and forms necessary to claim your rebate
5. Apple products discounted
Apple products never go non sale
Products like the iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina Display, iPhone 5s and lots of other hot Apple devices are desired holiday gifts.
Apple usually gives some sort of Black Friday discount 5-10%
