    An ACTUAL great deal on PS4s

    Not that Best Buy nonsense with the financing. I mean an actual gigantic savings.

    So apparently Meijer does a credit card promotional thing once a month, for a week at the time, where if you sign up for their credit card, you get 35% off your entire purchase, and that does NOT exclude big ticket items, like a PS4.

    So I took advantage of this a couple days ago, here is what I got....

    PS4
    Extra controller
    $100 Playstation gift cards (yes, the discount works on gift cards)
    .....

    For a total of $407 after taxes! So I was basically able to get the extra controller and $100 for cheaper than if I were to have just gotten the PS4 without the deal! What a gigantic steal. The promotion ended on Saturday, but like I said, apparently they do this every month, so I would call every Monday in May and ask them if they are running the promotion that week. I saved $200!

    They say if you don't have the money in cash, you shouldn't buy it. Ps4 is not worth opening a credit card in my opinion, I'd rather just have the $ no contingency plans.

        How do you know he doesn't have the cash to pay for it and is just going to pay it all off when the bill comes? For the deal to work, you have to use the credit card on the purchase.

        I love Meijer's deals. I got my launch Xbone for $400 because every once in a while, they have save $20 on a $100 purchase coupons. I bought 5 $100 Amazon cards for a total of $400.

          I've had $500 cash sitting in my sock drawer since January waiting for a good deal on a PS4....

              Yeah, I was waiting on a bundle for either The Show or MAYBE Watchdogs if I could hold out on getting the PS4 version of The Show that long (I got the ps3 version), but then once I saw this 35% off deal, I knew this would save me WAY more than a bundle.

                anyone have an amazon credit card? I was thinking of using that to get a PS4 + Show 14. I have the money to get it, but I've never had a credit card before. I dunno anything about rewards or hidden fees etc. that's why im usually sketched about getting a credit card. I survive mostly off debit and cash.

                  While I agree you shouldn't buy things you cannot afford, whay is the harm in exploiting this if you just pay the balance off before the end of the month, paying no interest. If you can do things responsibly, exploiting deals like this can save you some money.

                    There is no harm if that's the plan, my mindset is just different but more power to those who goes this route.

                      Saving 35 percent on something you would have bought anyway at full price is a great deal any way you stack it up. He should feel good about this purchase. I know I would.

                      I'm going to buy a PS4 soon, just waiting for the Show to come out. I already have a Meijer's card so I can utilize this deal. I'll see if I can find a deal somewhere, but even if I don't, that's fine. Looking forward to playing The Show on PS4.
                      It's on me. I shook his hand too hard. It was a hard ... kind of a slap-shake.

                        People are just scared of Credit Cards for some reason.

                        Amazon has a good deal too that you get like 35 dollars off a purchase when you sign up for their CC. No annual fee and you get cash back on Amazon purchases.

                          I don't see why all it takes is good money management I have 4 Credit cards 2 are store cards and none have a balance. I use the one for everything to get cash back and pay it off right away and have a high credit score.

                          From what I've seen the people who are scared are the ones using credit cards irresponsibly

                            I hate credit cards because I am very responsible with my money, but signing up for this card and then cutting the card up seemed like a no-brainer to me. I've had 1 single credit card for the past 6 years or so and I've only ever used it for online purchases (safer than putting in my debit card number). I'm the kind of person that carries cash with me to limit the amount I *should* spend.

                            Either way, I got an extra $200 to play around with now!

                              Not using credit cards has nothing to do with being responsible with money. If anything it's helpful to gain credit that allows you to buy other stuff (cars, houses, etc.). I rotate mine and use rewards cards for things like gas, food, and other small items that I can pay off instantly. No interest and I make money off of it.

                              The problem is no one knows how to use them. Kids misuse them and older people are scared of them. So many common misconceptions but it is what it is. The real question is are you SMART with your money!
