help with best cash back or deal on refrigerator

compassion101 · ‎09-25-2012

Frig broke last night, it is unrepairable. Need to decide on new one ASAP. Any thoughts on the best cashback deals or stores to use either in person/online etc.? Looking prob for whirlpool or maytag

I have chase freedom, discovermore, barclays rewards MC available. Could probably get approved for lowes or home depot but wouldn't want to app unless it was a great deal. Mostly I'm looking for cash back possibilities above standard 1%. Already have some 0% APR choices so don't need a new app for that.

Discover's 5% rewards changes to dept stores on Oct. 1, and they have extra 2% on Oct. 6. I imagine you probably can't wait that long, but I just thought I would throw it out there.

Lowes has 5% off a single purchase greater than $299 (I think) and 0% financing for the first 6 months.

I was in your shoes last month. But ended up using my bofa cash rewards and just got the 1% buying a samsung fridge. If you can wait for oct 1 for discover 5% department stores like azheather said.

0% APR plus rewards is probably the best deal, if you are willing to take the UTL hit, you can put on a 0% card and pay minimum payments while the money sits in your bank accounts or possibly a CD earning more than 1% interest, and you get the rewards plus 1-2% interest. Of course long term it would be best to toss the money in the CD, pay minimum payments and perhaps a bit more then when the 0% APR deal is done you pay the rest of the balance so its PIF and you keep the CD going

Lowes, HomeDepot, and Sears are all in the ShopDiscover mall for 5%

At least that way you don't have to apply for something new.

That's the way to go. I usually use the brick and mortar stores as places to check out samples, then I order through ShopDiscover. I did that with a new mattress from Sears.
