Staples Offering $100 Off Android Tablets, Snag the Asus Transformer for $299

Just yesterday we were talking about finding good deals on tablets but this $100 off coupon from Staples puts the rest to shame. Currently Staples is offering $100 off any tablet in-store only. They are excluding a few non Android tablets like the HP TouchPad but those don’t concern us.

One of our loyal readers dropped this little tip in our inbox this morning along with news he bought the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with his coupon. Now this coupon you see above just needs to be printed and brought with you to any retail staples. The deal is in-store only and one per day, but you can always go back tomorrow and get another for the kids or girlfriend.

The ASUS Transformer is only $399 at Staples so this can score you that awesome tablet for only $299 making it one sweeeeet deal. Other tablets cost a little more especially if you want the 32GB variants but $100 off sure makes it easier right. For those that still can’t afford to join the Honeycomb tablet party at this time feel free to enter our final Tabletpalooza Giveaway as this is the last week to enter.

I just drove almost an hour to the one store of all the stores in a 30mile radius that DOUBLE confirmed with me on the phone, “Yes sir we do have them in the store”. Only to get to the store and have the idiot tell me, “Oh, I had someone come up and ask me if we have them earlier and I said yes, but I though they meant Acer, and just were’t pronouncing it right…..” And he seemed genuinely amused by the screw up.It doesn’t appear that Staples carries the Asus in any store. Just a friendly heads-up for people who got way to excited like me

    They don’t carry it. So what you do is what I just did 5 minutes ago. You print this coupon and take it to your favorite electronics store that price matches ie Walmart even, and make them honor it there! Works perfect! Eee pad transformer in my hand!

    They have it listed in stock at a staples here in Vegas, as well as online.
    
    Go to Best Buy, Walmart or anywhere else and they will price match the coupon just as this guy above said

    Office Depot has matched two of these so far for me. They do carry it and every store so far has had it in stock.

    I work at a best buy, someone came in with the same coupon and got it matched, just ask for a manager.

Wow nice lack of research….Why would you post something like this for people to get excited, and then find out it is not even there! Uber Fail.

I visited one staples and called 3 others and they claim they don’t currently carry the Asus Transformer in the store

Everyone, try Office Depot. Don’t call their corporate number, they’ll say no, but I’ve been to two different local stores and had this matched.

Hey guys, do what Beaupedia did and go to Office Depot and get it price matched. They won’t back out. And even if they attempt not to honor their low price guarantee, go to their website, print out a copy of their price match policy, and throw it in their face. The second to last line in the first paragraph says exactly, “We will match the other store’s point-of-sale price after deducting their instant rebates and coupons.”

Don’t even bother price matching with Office Depot. If it is not in stock at Staples, they won’t do it.

Well, at least 4 days ago in San Antonio Office Depot honored it : / Got a brand new Transformer right here next to me.
