To celebrate the expansion of bitcoin payments to Canada, Newegg is also running a special bitcoin promotion for shoppers on Newegg.com and Newegg.ca. On August 26 and 27 in Canada, and from August 30 to September 1 in the U.S., Newegg customers paying with bitcoin will receive a special discount of $75 off purchases over $300 or $150 off purchases over $500.

Man... Somebody at NewEgg REALLY wanted coins...

I don't think they are that desperate for coins (they could easily buy them on an exchange). They have probably realized how much less it costs to accept bitcoin then it does to process a credit card transaction. The goal of the promotion is likely to try to get people to use bitcoin, and more specifically use bitcoin to pay for their purchases on their website.

They also are likely targeting users who are holding bitcoin and would likely not otherwise spend their money that they have tied up in bitcoin.

This is exactly what we need to take Bitcoin to the next level. Not only for places to accept it, but to offer a substantial discount in BTC giving people an incentive to buy! Awesome news!

Coulda used that a couple weeks ago, don't need it now

Nah.. unlikely they hold any, as they're not in the business of speculating. Plus it's somewhat involved to hold bitcoin as well still. Especially for a big company such as that.
I think they just like it and want more people to use it. It would be great for them.

This is insane, I dont think they are selling much above cost at these prices and Im sure they will actually lose money on some items depending on if you can combine promotions.

Wish I hadnt just made a $600 order last week

[bitllionaire]

Most companies do not allow you to combine promotions. I would find it very unlikely that they are loosing money on this deal. Merchants usually offer these kinds of deals because they want to get additional sales to their store, while remaining profitable. If they were loosing money on people taking up this offer then they would have on reason to offer it in the first place.

If  this type offer is given by more and more merchants, which will make more people buy BTC. You just buy Bitcoin at the exchange, and right away go to shopping and take offer, save you $75. No one won't do it.Good propaganda for BTC.

In other words I hate you busy beaver why didn't you post this Yesterday when the sale was still on XD

It was on the front page of http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin for several days, I'm just giving my US countrymen a heads up.

How aboot you cross the border because it's happening now =p

And let me be the first to say we do appreciate it!  Been looking for a tablet for a while and this might be the best option on a good deal I've found since I've started looking.  May check out one of those betting sites that claim you can win items for very low but this is still a solid sale.

You mean that you want to bitcoin price to go up so you have more purchasing power 
Then for the price to go down after you make the purchase.

Anyways I am still getting that server issue here starting to grind my rails a bit but I guess i'm alone on this one, might be because what I decided to purchase didn't qualify for the special even though the Bitcoin option showed up will have to experiment with it.

Nice deal!  Just got a Nikon DSLR camera.  Thank you Newegg and thank you Bitcoin!
The code for the current promo is BITCOINDEAL   Make sure the item you select isn't one with a promo or free gift item associated with it.
