Totally OT Drive By!

So a few months ago we were discussing credit cards and I mentioned that my credit card paid me 2% cash back on every thing I purchase. I also commented about an included feature that offered price protection for 60 days. You basically send in a copy of an ad of a cheaper price and they credit your account for the same difference in 60 days. In early March I bought an in dash Pioneer GPS radio from and had it installed by Best Buy. I also bought a back up camera that integrates with the unit. Best buy sells the unit for less than the suggested $900 retail price, IIRC about $724. I brought in a screen image of an Amazon price for the same unit and was able to purchase the unit for about $665. Sweet. There were several lower prices on Amazon but Best Buy would not price match because others on Amazon were offing the unit, these were not fulfilled and shipped by Amazon. Any way I sent a screen image, of the lower Amazon prices, to my credit card company and they price matched. Within a week I had a $62 credit for the lower price that I found. Sweeeter. On the last day of the 60 day limit, to finding a lower price, my credit card company sent me an e-mail indicating that "they" found an even cheaper price for for the unit I bought. I had totally forgotten about this purchase and the possibility of getting a further credit. WOW! This morning the credit showed up I got an additional $485 credit, effectively making my cost for this unit about $120. Suggested retail is $900. V E R Y S W E E T ! ! ! !
