There are similar reports on how to get a great deal at Bowling Ball. Com using their gift certificate discount through Google Checkout. I just bought a brand new No Mercy for $85 and probably should have gotten it for $75 but it wouldn't take a $10 discount code (no problem, I was happy to save $50).
Here's how it works: you buy a $30 gift card and pay for it through Google Checkout. Google knocks $10 off it. Yep, you get a $30 card for $20.
Google gives you another $10 off your order automatically.
So, the No Mercy Was $135 with shipping. You buy 4- $30 gift cards for $80 (which equals $120 in credit) throw in the $10 automatic discount (for $130 total) and you have $5 left to pay for a total of $85!!!!!! MAKE SURE YOU BUY EACH GIFT CARD INDIVIDUALLY---SEPERATE ORDER FOR EACH. DON'T BUY 4 CARDS ON THE SAME ORDER.
It's a bit of work but I just did it and saved $50. The gift certificates are sent via e-mail. Mine arrived within just a few minutes. There's also a promotional code....NLGC10 that is worth another $10 off but everytime I entered it it said the cart was invalid.
From BowlingBall.Com: USE THE CODE FB10 and receive an additional $10 off ALL orders over $75. Too late for me but not you. This would bring the No Mercy to $75!!!!
