Official: Post where to get the best deals on new iPad (third gen)!

[ynoT]

Whether or not the new iPad is worth the buy is not the point of this thread. The purpose of this thread is to find the best deal.

I'll be purchasing the new iPad at The New iPad | PowerMax. It is listed at $499.00. There is a $10 off $100 coupon for those who join their mailing list. This makes their new iPad $489.00. I recently received a credit card that will give me $200 cash back on $500 of purchases within three months. I'll be using that credit card to purchase the iPad along with other purchases to bring my total to $500 making my iPad $289.00.

The retailer charges no tax and free shipping, saving approximately $50 depending on where you live.

well... I just bought a 16gb wifi white for $340 from someone who dropped it and put a single crack in the screen already. I'm going to see if I can ask nicely the next time I'm at an apple store (end of the month) and if they say no then I can replace the glass for $30-40 out of pocket which would bring my total up to about $375 give or take depending on what price I can get on a digitizer.

So, the digitizer is different. No new design changes to it, just different socket connectors

Most websites don't even offer online purchase.

Macmall customers pay no tax as long as you aren't in chi town NYC or memphis.

List price, free overnight. Be weary. Your choice may be back ordered and they never know when they'll get new ones. They have bill me later too.

J and R
Buy.com

If you're cheap like me but love your mother, you can get your iPad and a $100 restaurant.com card for your mother for FREE.

MACMALL.

Edit 5/18- mine shipped and will be at my apartment before I get back from being kidnapped by family. If ur looking for white, hit up MacMall. They seemed to have fulfilled their waiist and still have some left. They won't last long

Ordered white 32gb Verizon

I just bought a new iPad for $499 at MacMall and got a free $100 gift certificate from Restaurants.com. I live in Philadelphia and there were 36 participating restaurants (some are really good ones) within 5 miles of my house. The new iPad is for me but now I can take my wife out for Mother's Day for free. Definitely win-win. Don't think this promotion will last past Mother's Day.
