So I walked in to my local BB, walked out with a gold wifi 64gb, net cost was $91
after 32 gb iPad air (-$301),
iPhone 4s (-$121)
Coupon (-$50)
Movers 10% off Coupon (-$55)
Visa Gift Card (-$25)

Plus I got 3X points

;)
 
I would pop into your close store and ask since different stores seem to do things differently. If it were me, I'd take the ship to store option that is available, just to be sure it arrives soon enough to take advantage of the deal. It gets to the store pretty fast, to your home a little longer. Worth a drive to save a lot.

Also, I have noticed the shipping and availability on BB changes throughout the day.

Now it's showing that I can ship to the store I want in 3-5 days but I went ahead and ordered it last night to ship to me, should still end up with it around the same time. I've been noticing the same thing about the availability of the 128gb cellular models, it goes from shipping in 1 business day to back ordered not shipping until the end of Nov, so I didn't want to wait any longer.
 
Traded in my 16gb 3rd generation iPad and they didn't ask for any accessories.

Didn't end up buying anything today because of course there are no 64gb Space Grays available anywhere, the employee I talked to says there are none in the entire district, I am in Atlanta, so don't know how wide an are that covers. Hopefully they get some before the 15th.

Curious as to why Best Buy doesn't seem to have any SG's of any type anywhere, doesn't seem to be a shortage as all the Apple Stores around me have plenty.

I am in the exact same boat, none here in the atlanta area have the 64gb. Really hope they get some in soon. I can't believe this particular one is so hard to find.
 
Same situation in Minneapolis. Not a single space gray in 64 or 128 at any of the ~10 Best Buys in the area. But every Apple store has both. Did Best Buy forget to order this color or what?

None in the Nashville area either.
 
I went to the post office for the Change of address form, but none of the coupons were for Best Buy. Boooooooooo :(

Look carefully, I didn't notice it the first time either. It's not a loose leaf coupon. It's a perforated coupon attached to the actual address change form, should be the last item in the stack.
 
How did you guys got the $50 dollar coupon for the trade-in?

Went to the local Best Buy and the lady in customer service told me that the $50 coupon is valid for iPads with a trade-in value of less than $200. Do you guys have a website mentioning the promotion so I can show it next time I go.
Thanks,

When I traded mine in a prompt popped up on the cs rep's computer when she was going through all the trade in steps. I got $163 for my 16gb 3rd gen iPad and the $50 coupon printed out with the receipt, the cs rep had not even known of the promotion before we started.

Having the same issue. I "pre-ordered" about two weeks ago. Management still doesn't know when they will get wifi SGs. I'd go to Apple but between trade in bonus and coupon it is a $170 difference. I'd rather just stay with my Air 1 if they don't get them and honor the deal.

that's not correct as my ipad trade in was valued at $301 and the $50 coupon printed along with the trade in summary.
 
They let me do Store Pickup for the space grey 64gb Air 2; paid in person with the $200 promotion applied. The estimated time it'll arrive is Nov 10-14th...but still much better than checking it in person every week.

EDIT: I'm in California.

Even the 128 GB SG's are no longer available to order online. Best Buy must have gotten a grand total of like 7 SG iPads in the entire Midwest

Does anyone know what the "Pick up in 3-5 days" means for some of the other colors? Does this mean they are expecting a shipment soon?
 
I ordered my silver 64gb on Sat. I picked it up this morning. After reading everyone's experiences here, I was prepared. I kind of had to walk them through.

First went to trade-in person with my barely usable iPad2. She said it would be $150 for the trade, and I said, plus the $50 for the promo right? She looked at me funny, and I said, I think it should just print out after the $150. She was surprised when it did.

I then went to the pick up person, told her I wanted to do a return on my order and ring it up again with my discounts. She said the way they have to do it is cancel the order, then resell it to me, and it may take 24-48 hours before the first charge goes away. Okay, I kind of thought that would be the case anyway. I also asked her if she could try putting in the 10% coupon first, and she did after some discussion about whether or not it was good for an iPad purchase. It would have been a very quick process, except I only applied for my BB credit card on Sat. for the 0%, and she had to look up the card. Went through fine when she did the cancel, but the phone rang while ringing up the new purchase. She was talking on the phone, and walking away a few times, while trying to get my transaction through. I had to input my SS# 7 times. She couldn't understand why she was having trouble. I planned to go in there in chill mode, so went easy on the coffee this morning. I just kept smiling.

So, I started at $781 and ended up at $504. Thank you all for the info and your experiences.

i think that refers to the ship-to-store option. That was the only way I was able to get my hands on a 128 SG.

It's for pick up in store. I ordered mine (silver not SG) on Sat., it shipped Tues., I picked it up today.
 
Had a crazy experience. First Best Buy wouldn't do my trade in because my iPad woulsnf connect to their wifi. Left after saying I couldn't trade in if my iPad wouldn't connect to their wifi.

Next Best Buy did trade in and had no clue about the $50 and was shocked when it came up. Went to get the iPad and told me I could NOT use the 10% mover's discount. Even after telling them to just try it, they wouldn't do it. manager was really rude and adamant about it and told me they could lose their jobs If they did it. This left a sour taste in my mouth.

$599 - $50 = $549.99 plus tax $39.87 = $589.86 then $185 gift card for my iPad 3 to $404.86. I know they could've used the discount. I did get 3x reward zone points.

Sorry to hear your BB would not accept the movers coupon. First I have heard of it being rejected.
 
hmm I ordered my 128 cellular gold early this morning and it said est delivery 11/6. I got the notice that it shipped and the tracking says it will be delivered tomorrow, 10/31. Now I need to figure out what I am gonna trade in :D

Only thing that sucks is you only got 3x points on $91..... I mean that will net you a $5 certificate, but it's not triple on the whole purchase.
