Microsoft SP3 Bundle...really???

[bulls96]

I called the store online and dashed if I could get this bundle after I have purchased by surface but no luck.

Everyone here should still be within their 30-day return policy, and so getting an adjustment shouldn't be a problem. After all, you could always return your SP3 and repurchase, and if they don't let you do so with your existing machine then that would just cause them a return. I've found the Microsoft Store staff to be very accommodating, and I'm sure they'd rather do an adjustment than take a return.

Also, there was a similar bundle on launch day of the Type Cover, case, and Microsoft Complete for $249 (which I purchased) and I believe one with Office 365 as well. So I don't think this is anything special.

Regarding stacking educational discounts on top of these bundles, they're not really supposed to since it's already discounted. I convinced the manager at the Microsoft Store I purchased at to adjust the price to reflect my wife's student discount, but he had to really work to get the additional discount applied. I ended up getting a very good price on mine. Again, I found the staff to be very helpful.

I don't know what some people are whining about. When was having a sale bad for the consumer?? As wynad32 said, Microsoft Store has a 30 day return policy. You can easily get a price adjustment still and if they refuse, just return it and buy it again.

So has anyone had any luck in getting Microsoft to refund their money against the 'bundle' offer?

Yes, they can sell the bundle without the SP3, so they had me do a return on my keyboard, and I just got the bundle. I was going to buy complete anyway, so its like I got a free office 365 subscription and a sleeve for nothing.

I want to get my wife an SP3. I wish they would just offer a SP3 and keyboard bundle. I don't need a sleeve, already have office 365 and sure don't feel like paying $120 for an extended warranty.

you can easily end up spending 1600 even you dont need sleeve and extension warranty
