Has anyone that bought this TV last week (Dec. 1-8) received their $100 Amazon credit yet?

Yes....I ordered my tc-L42E50 on Dec. 7 and the credit was redeemed in my account on the 19th. I was concerned about it at first and realized it just took longer than I thought. Also remember that the credit will only show up with FBA items and not until you actually check out will you have the option to use your credit.

No I have not either, I though it was suppose to appear as an otional form of payment on my amazon account.As of today March 3, 2013 I have still not seen nor heard anything. I will contact Amazon!

I purchased the TV on 12/5 and still have not received the credit. I contacted customer service by email and I received a response this morning stating that due to a technical error the credit had not been applied and they were working on it. If you haven't received the credit, I would definitely contact Amazon to investigate.

I bought it on Dec 5th and have not yet received the credit. I sent an email to customer service today and they responded saying I was eligible for the $100 Dish Network $100 promotion instead of hte Amazon one. I just responded to them correcting them. Hopefully we will get the credit soon.

If I evern order anything again with a promo like this, I will be sure to print the page during checkout that says, something like, "Contratulations, your order qualifies for XXXXXX.....". I did not print that page, and was surprised that none of the order confirmations, invoices, nor ship notices said anything about the credit. If it had not shown up on my account, I had nothing to prove anything.

Amazon ran this same promotion again December 15-22 and part of the reason we bought the TV on the 22nd before midnight EST. I just got off the phone with Amazon and they hit me with the dish network thing. I explained that this was NOT what the promotion said and that we were offered a credit, not a gift card. I was then told I would receive an email from there promotions dept. We shall see.

I ordered the TV on Dec 7th. I can't remember exactly when my credit showed up, but I believe it was right at the 7th day. Regardless, I redeemed the credit with an order on Dec 16th (9 days later). Since I had 5 items in that order, shipped in 3 shipments, the $100 credit was proportionally split between those 3 shipments.

1) The TV rose $135, not $230. 2) Amazon has an EXCELLENT price match policy. I bought mine for $1520 and the next day it went down to $1489 and I got credited the $31 price drop. I wouldn't worry, as I guarantee the price will come back down, probably during labor day weekend. 3) Why did you have to wait to get your paycheck to buy the TV? Sounds like a dumb excuse to me. Put it on a credit card, and that gives you a whole month until you actually have to pay for it.

I bought it from Amazon for $1389 like December 10th-ish with no blu-ray. I complained to customer service after I received the TV and they refunded me $100 and gave me the blu ray player for free. So I guess it's worth a shot if Buy.com's customer service is as good as Amazon.com's.

This TV is not yet released. Vizio appeared to have released it and my local Costco received 10, but when I went to purchase last weekend (May 12), I was told they have a defect and were being sent back to Vizio. This TV has been removed from the Costco web site and the Vizio web site, which had shown the TV as "Now Available" went to "Out of Stock" yesterday and is back to "Coming Soon" (May 17). So we are on hold waiting for this tv. It appears to be nearly the same as the SR version but with twice the contrast ratio (10M to 1 vs 5M to 1). I do hope that Vizio adds a browser to the online apps. Costco had this listed for $1299+ $49 shipping when it was on their web site. I was told that the "in-warehouse" price would be $1249, and Costco doubles the warranty to 2 years.

I've had no issues with my tv ordered from Amazon. Maybe their was some mishandling during shipping?

It seems like the discount is on and off every other week for this TV at least. And the recent trend has been that it is getting less and less. However they also cut the price of the TV a ltitle bit a few weeks back. Though I am in the same position basically as the OP. I am waiting for it to fall around 1050-1100 all in then I am ready to snap it up.

I can't agree more, yesterday there was free shipping and a lower price. When I checked out today there was a $100 shipping charge on my email confirming the order that had not been reflected in the shopping cart. By the way the TV was $150 more than yesterday. Very frustrating shopping experience. Should have just gone to Sears paid the higher price and avoided the drama.

Please post when you receive the tv. I am also planning on getting a used-like new set and cannot seem to find many stories about anyone buying this.

I ordered this last week for $1389 with no blu-ray promotion. Complained to Amazon customer service and they refunded me $100 and then refunded me $150 for the blu-ray purchase. Pretty sweet.

I am so disgusted that amazon is asking me about this TV. I ordered it in August, immediately received a tracking number, then UPS for the next 2 weeks claimed they never picked up that tracking number. It was fake. Then every time I called or emailed Amazon, they told me that I could not get my money back yet, I had to give them 2 weeks to investigate. I for one will certainly NEVER allow amazon to make such a large charge to my credit card. Id much rather spend the extra $20 and buy it from a brick and mortar location. Amazon, you repulse me! Not even an "I'm sorry" Never accepted there was an issue! I am so disgusted that amazon is asking me about this TV.

I ordered this TV and it came in a box that had obviously been previously opened and then taped up.I clicked to return the item - it looks like Amazon is requiring me to ship UPS/FedEx (which I understand) but I'll have to pay for the shipping (at least at first, I think) and then I'll get a refund, not a replacement. I wanted this TV but I don't know if I'll get the same deal by the time the refund goes through.

Nope. Amazon has stepped up and I am returning this television. I am going to return the favor and buy a more expensive Samsung to replace it with Amazon.

I ordered this TV yesterday (9/1/2008) when I saw the "$200 rebate". Of course, it was asumed that was a cash rebate - without seeing the fineprints. Does anyone still have the link to the rebate? Or anyone has downloaded the pdf file?

I just bought this TV yesterday and noticed it went up a couple $$ today. Don't worry about the timing though because Amazon has price guarantee for 30 days. They'll refund you the difference (is what I've read) if the price goes down within the 30 day time frame.
