I just found out today that Costco just dropped their price on the A500 from $479.99 to $429.99 ($50). Good times!
Damn!

If true, you can get a refund up to 90 days. I am calling tomorrow to check it out. I bought mine 3 days ago.
I just got $50 plus tax refunded. Thanks for the tip.
Also, Wall Mart reduced it by $50, too.
Amazon.com (direct from Acer) is now below $400.
Target offers them now at $399.00 And with a 15% discount, cost is $340... I already own a VS Gtab, Asus TF, and the Xoom but at that price, I can't resist... Do I have an addiction to tablets?

I do not thing so
Is this a permanent price drop or is it only temporary? I'm looking at getting one but don't know when I'll be able to because I'm still saving up but other hobbies are taking up my money.

I too got my $50 but I had additional hoops to jump through. Since I was outside the traditional 30 day return window, (where costco can send back to the manufacturer) I had to go and BUY a whole new unit at the 429 price, take it over to refunds and return it on my original receipt. A little bit of trouble (had to have $429 available to buy the unit), but hey, it reset my 90 day return window and it reset my 3 year warranty (2 year costco, 1 year AMEX)

May I ask how to get the 15% off? Haven't found any coupon on it ...
Walked in, showed receipt, origional purchase date 50 days ago, no problem, credited my account.
Even gave me back my $50 membership since they aren't building one near where I live for 2 more years!
$398.00 at Walmart!
I think the price is going down to complete directly with the Transformer. Also, the newer models are out with more memory and the Windows platform.
The reason other places are still at the higher prices my assumption is that these units are already in channel at a price point from Acer (to ensure they had enough stock to sell). They do not want to sell these on thinner margins. Although...do they accept price matches with Walmart or Target?

Costco has a 32GB version, what about Walmart? From walmart online, the price for 16GB is still $449, the 32GB is $498, so the b&m price is 398 now for 16GB, right?
Since I was 2 weeks outside the traditional 30 days return policy. I got $50.00 cash card instead......
Which one do you like best?

Employee discount
target has them in stock for $399 until Oct.
the october date is suspect to me, that to me says Acer is bringing out another unit in Oct.
Target $399 + $50 gift card
I have next weeks sales flyer. Starting tomorrow (Sunday 7-17-11) Target is selling the A500 16gb for $399 + a $50 gift card *while supplies last.
If my math is correct that is like getting the A500 for $349 .
Best Buy and Staples both advertise the "new low price" as $399.99 starting tomorrow.
I think we are going to be seeing many more Acer A500 owners
just got my $50 back from Target for the Acer I bought two weeks ago. Life is good!

This information is appearantly incorrect. I just tried to buy one at COSCO and it is $429.
Damn, I just bought the one from BB this morning for 429 after taxes + 100 GC. If I can get the costco one, I am so down with that.
Last time I saw there was $429 about 5 days ago.

I picked mine up at my local warehouse today and paid $349.99 - that price drop finally kicked me off the fence - it may be a warehouse only price as it's still reading $429 on-line.
Got 80 back today, thanks

Thanks for the heads up. I just got $80 back.
I am tempted to buy a second one for that price.
If you really want a good buy - pick up one of the SanDisk 8gig micro SDHC cards - $17.99 - but inside the packaging is a coupon for 100 free 4x6 prints - a $13.00 value. So the card ends up costing just $5.00. Not too shabby.

Why don't just go to target and get the 8G for $9, with a red card, you won't pay too much tax either. Costco got a lot with free prints, even a picture frame.
I was in the store where I saw the deal.
OP, thanks for the post... I went yesterday and got back $80
A500 at Costco
I bought one yesterday (8/16) at Costco in Overland Park, KS for $80.00 off - 32G w/ case. Sale through Saturday, 8/20/11. It is IN-STORE only. Not available from costco.com
The sale is till they are gone, like the flip camera they have still going on for $100 way after sale stopped.

I just thought that a thread dedicated to finding a great deal on this amazing tablet during the upcoming shopping season would be helpful.
I recently missed an opportunity to get the 32GB version for $349 plus tax, and the 16GB version for $399 plus tax. I would've jumped all over these deals, but I was too late... I figured a central location for people to report deals would be helpful to all! I can't wait to get my hands on mine.
So far the only deal I've seen is HH Gregg selling for $449 on Black Friday (16GB). I'm really hoping to get it for $399. I'm crossing my fingers that Amazon drops in to that price to best the competition.
I can't wait to join the community here!
Update: Best deal is at Amazon for $449 (one-day free shipping with Discover card, plus 5% cash back!).

I also read abt $399 deals but I guess they were fake. I really couldnt find it on B**tB*y or the other store. I finally bought one from A**zon for $604.99. It is 3G+WiFi 16GB.
Keep checking this thread on SlickDeals.net; it's continually updated. So far there are a lot of deal on the G-Tab 2 but not the Note. MacMall has the 16GB Note for $419.99 and the 32GB for $469.99 with free shipping (2-day if you belong to ShopRunner).

They weren't fake - it was a glitch on Toys-R-Us' website. They quickly shut that down. It was a deal that was supposed to exclude tablets, but when you added it to your cart it still applied the discount.
Also, the other deal was an error as well. Fry's meant to post a one day sale on the Tab 2, and instead posted a one day sale on the Note. So you could get the 32GB version for $349 through price matching at BB that day.
@barry - thanks! That's the best deal I've seen so far!

Good catch! Amazon does too, plus one day shipping free if you have a Discover card. Also you get 5% cash back if you use Discover, so that sort of lowers the price to around $425-ish, shipped. This will easily beat Mac Mall's $419 + tax! I may snag one now... Black Friday pricing doesn't seem to be much better from what I'm seeing.
Anyone suspect a better deal will be lurking out there before BF?

Bought one from Currys in the UK (note N8010)
Got them to pricematch another retailer bringing it down to
£312.90
They have an extra £30 rebate off when you buy any case (this is on top of Samsungs £50 rebate offer)
Purchased this for £12.99
Got cash back from a cash back site (topcashback) this confirmed at £9.19
Purchased on my credit card that gives 1% cashback £3.13
This makes me either very lucky or very sad but total sale price including the case will be £233.57 (aprox $375 including all taxes)
For those in the US, just saw white Galaxy Note 10.1 16GB at Costco for $429.
Unfortunately with tax the Costco deal is more expensive than most online retailers. NewEgg, Frys, Amazon, and Macmall have the 16GB for 449.99 and the 32GB for 499.99. I'm waiting for a better deal..

Yeah as if California doesn't get enough tax money out of you.. I'm waiting for 449.99 for the 32 gig.
Best buy has a 25 dollar discount or rebate when ordering online to instore pickup. That makes the 16ngig 425 and 32 gig 475.

For we Canadians:
Future Shop and Best Buy have the 32GB N8010 on sale for $449.99 ($50 off) until Nov. 29th.
--- edit ---
On a related note, for those who already own their Note and bought it at Future Shop, FS has extended their price protection on anything purchased on or after Nov. 2 to extend to the Jan. 6th (rather than being only 30 days of price protection). I got my $50 back yesterday. Just had to go into the store with my receipt, and have the credit card I used to make the purchase originally.

$449.00(32g) @ "Staples/Bureau En Gros" too and we had a $50.00 coupon good for 3 days (Black Friday Week-End) = $399.00
Staples in canada also has the 32gb for 449. I'm signed up for their newsletter and I got a 50 off coupon on purchases over 400 so I got the Note for 399 over the weekend.

Took my HD back that I got from BB for $199 and got the Max HD for $175 (family line upgrade) when AW had it marked down also. BB priced with no problems. Higher cost phone for less money. Win/Win
Just got back from BBY as well as they price matched amazon on upgrade and new line so ended up getting 2 MAXX, one for me and the wife.
One thing I noticed though was that they charged us tax as if we bought the phone at full price and they said this was normal, is that true? I have purchased iphones before on discount at apple store and they only charged me tax based on how much I paid. This is in California if that makes a difference.

Yes I have see that before. I think it has to due with the way the " Instant rebate is handled"
I bought my phone at best buy for $249 ($299 - $50 instant giftcard for upgrading through them). Yesterday I saw that Amazon had the MAXX HD for $174.99, Best Buy price matched - all I had to do was bring my receipt in. When I got home, I realized that they refunded me too much money (the refunded me the difference in tax) so I ended up getting the phone for $120 out the door. I feel a bit guilty but oh well. I've spent thousands of dollars there over the last few years.

All,
This looks like a pretty good deal. B&H is selling Tab S3 with the Samsung keyboard for 497.99 - free shipping and no tax outside of NY & NJ.
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1346387-REG/samsung_samsung_32gb_galaxy_tab.html
I had ordered mine from Amazon for that same price, but without the keyboard, and it cost me about $540. Fortunately, I was able to return it to Amazon via Amazon Prime and ordered one via B&H. It doesn't look they have it in stock yet, so you will have to wait between 7-14 days to get it.
It's worth looking into if you don't mind waiting to get it.
I got for $499, july 6

I was using a Tab S1 that I recently sold on ebay. I am now using a 8" Galaxy Tab A till I get my S3. I wish the Tab S3 came with an 8" size.
I ordered mine on 7/6/17 with the same more shipping 7-14 days message. When did you order yours? I think you and I got the same deal since yours cost $2 more. That deal was gone and came back as 497.99.
Ordered same, 7/6. Have heard nothing yet. Was using a Remix OS Tablet, just a little too large for my liking and travel. Sold mine on ebay as well.

I tried, but they wouldn't match it for me because B&H did not have it in stock. Apparently, they would only match items that are in atock at the time of the price match. Fortunately, it still works in my favor 'cause I gotnit with no tax or shipping fee.
