Someone mentioned it earlier, but I thought I would bring it up again incase
any one missed it.
HD has a promo on right now,
purchase,
$25-$49 get a $10 gift card
$50-$99 -- $20 card
$100-$199 -- $60 card
$200+ -- $80 card
Multiple submissions are accepted, no lawn and garden, paint, drywall,
plumbing and flooring.
Good on purchases from 10/9/03 - 10/29/03
I stocked up on some Bessey clamps, hit the $200 mark pretty easy! The best
part is when the card comes back I can buy more tools with it! If you watch
what you buy it is like a 30% off sale! I may be going back!

Does that mean the Bessey clamps don't qualify?
You realize that it's not really a rebate but an incentive to buy more
stuff. Still well worth it, but not the same as a rebate.

Does what mean that? I guess any power Bessey clamps wouldn't
qualify<g>. The form does not explicitly mention clamps. But it does
say "specialty tools" which would reasonably include clamps, and it
does exclude other hand tools, such as garden, paint, and drywall. And
in the store I visited, one of the promotional signs was taped to the
front of the clamp display.
My opinion (worth what you paid for it) is that they are covered.

Wonder what the turnaround time is on the forms? If you have to use
it by 10/29, could be tight....

Just got back from a research expedition to the Borg. The schedule
above needs to be modified by substituting the following two lines for
the obvious line above"
$100-149 $40 card
$150-199 $60 card.
So if you can hit the bottom of any bracket, you get 40% off.

Still don't know about that, but it is in the Atlanta area store I
checked.

This last sentence makes me think that what looks too good to be true
is probably not true. Is the rebate for $100-199 really $60 (up to 60%
off) or was this a typo (maybe $30)? Anyone know if this is
nationwide? Didn't see it on their web page.

The original poster made a typo. The deal can best be simplified as:
You get a $20 gift card for every $50 you spend on hand tools (with a
few exceptions, read the fine print). Any one rebate can't exceed $80
so spending more than $200 at once doesn't get you anything, but you
can have multiple rebates per household.
No problem.
SWMBO @ home.
Me @ the neighbors.

Greg,
That promo is on HAND TOOLS. I should know I put the signs up in our
store the other day. Mail-in Promo - forces you to send in a copy of
the register receipt. This prevents theft and abusers.

These items are hand tools not power tools. From what the third sales
person then manager told me was that no electric or battery powered
tools quailify.
bummer cause that would have been a hell of deal on a compound miter
box...

I think he was trying to simplify, and IMHO, did a pretty good job. In
fact, add in the $10 card for $25-49, and he described it exactly.

The offer applies to tools in Home Depot Department 25. That is why
"garden" tools - Dept. 28, "paint" Dept. 24 and "drywall" Dept 22 are
excluded.
The Bessey clamps qualify, unless the fine print excludes them. I had
a couple buy $800 of hand tools...she broke that up into 4 orders.

Alex,
Good question. I have to believe there is a complete program
description with the manager of hardware or at the Special Services
desk. I haven't seen it yet. All the promotions like that have a
complete description printed up fore the store staff.
FYI...I know you need to mail in the register receipt...the UPC is the
number printed next to the item on the receipt. 12 digits long.
For those of you near the Newton NJ store. check out the ready-cut
plywood 2x4 birch ply is the 13 layer good stuff, not the 5 layer
crap. I convince the lumber manager it would sell better than the
cheapo stuff. Didn't win the battle on the 4x8 sheets..they are still
the 5-7 ply stuff.
And don't holdyou breath on the Rigid Planer $379 being markdown.
Rumor has it from a recent area hardware expo that Emerson might still
be in the bench tool business.

You mail it in, the forms are in the tool corral with most of the
qualifying tools.

Greetings All,
I've never posted to this NG before, but I have been lurking for a
month or two. Now seems as good a time as any to delurk.
After receiving responses like "I dunno" and "Maybe" from the friendly
folks at an HD here in Tampa, I called corporate and asked if clamps
were a qualifying hand tool. Once I got routed to the right
department, the rep I talked to (I think his name was Locutus) said
clamps were indeed a qualifying hand tool. I also sent an email asking
the same question. I think I'll wait for a "written" response before I
run out and spend a bunch o' money ($200 at a time of course).
Hmmm. Seems like the better deal is to separate
the $200 purchase into two $100 purchases and get
two $60 cards.

I asked the same question to the tool manager, which of course means he
probably is wrong! But he said the promo was good for the Besseys too.
If I find otherwise, they are getting them back!

Yes, you are right, but you have to draw the line on your time somewhere!
I suppose I could have bought $100 worth, walked out to the car, came back
in and bought $100 more, but who in the hell can spend only $100 on tools??!
I was miffed because the promo stopped at $200!

Do you have the card in front of you? I do. Nowhere does it mention $20 per
every $50 spent. But yes I did miss a group, $100-$149 is good for a $40
card, $150-$199 get you a $60 card.
Reading it again it does mention "multiple submissions will be honored if
there is one cash register receipt and UPC per order form(single ticket
purchase required)."
Greg
I messed up! The groups are
$100-$149 = $40 card
$150-$199 = $60 card

The form says purchases made between 10/903 and 10/29/03. They have extended
the date that they will accept submissions, the card says 11/5/03, they
extended it to 11/15/03.

What are Besseys, power tools??
The manager in our store said Besseys are good to go.
Also they want the original receipt, not a copy.
I wish I had a scanner!
