[DEAD] Dec 21-27: Kindle Basic w/Touchscreen plus $30 Visa Gift Card (via EzRebate) for $60

This weekly special ended but it may return in the future as a lot of Staples Kindle specials are of the recurring variety…

If you are looking to get a Kindle ebook reader with a touchscreen, this is the best deal I’ve ever seen for a current year model! The 6-inch basic Kindle with a touchscreen (late 2014 model) is going to be on sale for $60 at Staples brick and mortar stores during the December 21-27 (2014) week. This price is not the lowest ever, however, Staples offers a $30 prepaid VISA gift card via Easy rebate on this! That makes it a $30 after rebate! Wow indeed!

Easy Rebates can be submitted online, you don’t have to mail anything. You just enter information from your cash register receipt into the rebate website and a few weeks later, you will receive the gift card by mail! If you follow the rules and don’t try any tricks, these work like clockwork. To be on the safe side, it’s not a bad idea to purchase rebate items on their own, so they will be the only item on the receipt. Purchase everything else in a separate transaction.

The Weekly Ad does not specify the limits of this promotion, so assume it is one. Once you purchase the first one, it will print (or email) the rebate receipt. The rebate receipt states the limit of items and the dates of the promotional period. The information on the rebate receipt typically overrides everything else (on rare occasion the Ads may have incorrect quantity information and from what I recall, the rebate receipt is right – they are the ones who will send you your rebate/reward after all).
