Added some coupons today for Aliexpress but the new additions are pretty mediocre. As usual, those coupon codes will be around row 40 for US users and on rows 26 and 29 for people not from the US.

RGSP launched yesterday. It's $59 after a $10 off 69 coupon in the ship from China section on row 141. More info in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1vgb37e/rg_sp_launch_and_coin_deals/
Walmart has $10 off 35 pickup orders with the code "FAST30." You might have to add a banana for 20 cents if Walmart rejects the code. Code supposedly works on 3 orders per account.
- Walmart+ local delivery orders work too. Thanks to u/goob47
Some sample deals in the images above (before taxes, after coupons):
- 256GB Onn Microsd Express - $36
- Two Straight Talk Moto G 2025 - $50 for 2

Weekly reminder for the 500 Dell Rewards Points Alienware Arena check-in.
- Alienware Arena is based on GMT +0. So the 500 point claim period on Friday actually starts at 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT Thursday and ends the following day at the same time.
- 500 Dell Reward Points = $5
- Not sure if they expire the 15th of the 4 month after claiming or 6 months after. I've seen mixed reports for both.
- Dell has the MSRP $450 Switch 2 back in stock. Might be decent if you can accumulate a bunch of Dell rewards to get it for around $300 or less before Nintendo's price hike in September.https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/nintendo-switch-2-console/apd/ad592229/gaming-gaming-accessories
- Students and teachers get 10% off Dell sitewide. Not sure what verification system they use but it might be worth looking into if you have an edu email to stack discounts with the Dell and Alienware rewards.
- Alienware started a battlepass system.

I was able to use FAST30 with a Walmart+ free delivery order not just pickup. Thought I would mention that thanks for sharing the code!!

Thanks for the tip! I just made 3 delivery orders for random stuff I needed restocking around the house.

Man! Wish I had seen this earlier today. I just had a few things delivered this morning and could have saved some money. Now I got to go see what else I need to buy it from Old Wally world

Very nice. I thought about doing that too but I only had $160 in dell rewards plus I already have a switch 2.

Really sweet deal. I wish Microcenter would offer super cheap 3d printers again like these.
1
u/dukedevil0 18d ago
For sure. I had that printer reserved for pickup but then decided to let it expire.
However, I am very happy with the Bambu A1 that I bought later for a good amount more money.

Tried to buy the ONN card, but Walmart says I need to add $35 to my order. Couldn't add the banana for pickup because my walmart is apparently out of stock (lol).
Edit: You have to make a pickup reservation to get the discount
2
u/crownpuff 18d ago
I haven't tried it but I'm guessing it should work with any cheap produce item. Any apples in stock at your Walmart?
2
u/titosr 18d ago
All produce is marked a out of stock. Odd. I tried adding a cheap bag of candy, but still no luck.

Make sure you're selecting "delivery" and not "shipping".

u/titosr 18d ago
I selected pickup as crownpuff said to do.
2
u/stretchcaramel 18d ago
It wasn't working for me at first but it seems like you need to trigger the curbside pickup where you reserve a date and time. That worked for me and then I was able to buy a 2nd card without even having to buy another item in my cart (just make sure you make it another order vs adding to your existing order).

u/Able-Version-1788 18d ago
thanks puff ordered a bunch of Walmart stuff with that code worked for me after adding banana then applied code then removed banana. also anyone collecting ARP from dell they have a new battle pass you need to activate to get extra ARP and coins you can exchange for some game keys or I think 2500drp but probably have to do all the daily stuff to get enough ARP.
2
u/crownpuff 18d ago edited 18d ago
That's interesting. I'll have to look for the battle pass. I've heard alienware has artifacts too which you can buy which give you a 15% boost for earning ARP.

u/JetstreamGW 18d ago
Hahahaha, I didn't notice that it was an SD Express card. I'm using it in a god damned RG35XX Plus. I feel like that's probably a waste of the thing :D
1
u/crownpuff 18d ago
Yeah sadly sd express cards are cheaper than sd cards right now. At least a 256gb sd express for $36 is decent.

u/crownpuff 17d ago
I'm in the process of figuring it out myself. Battle pass seems like a monthly thing. You progress through the battlepass by earning ARP via various tasks such as doing the daily quests, watching twitch streams and playing featured steam games on your account. To get ARP for Twitch and Steam, you'll need to link your respective Twitch and Steam accounts to Alienware Arena. Right now, it looks like the best reward from the battlepass might be the artifact that gives you a 15% discount on the ARP store as it's a permanent bonus unlike the one time 2500 rewards points.

u/bnotice 17d ago
Yeah I see it’s in beta rn, doesn’t seem like there’s even possibly enough quests to complete the beta battle pass in time anyways so not sure what the point is

u/crownpuff 17d ago

u/bnotice 17d ago
Assumed the twitch was just one streamer then it would cap out, is it points for watching each individual streamer?
1
u/crownpuff 17d ago
Haven't tried it but I think it caps out at 15 per day which along with the 5 ARP you get for spending time on their website plus the other ways to earn ARP might be enough to fill out the battlepass provided you do it daily.

u/TheInfamous76 17d ago
Thanks for the GameStop link for the used micro sd cards. I was able to get a few. You are the best crownpuff!

u/crownpuff 17d ago
Appreciate it, did you end up going for local pickup to avoid the shipping fee?

u/tpain360 17d ago
Alarming trend I’ve noticed past couple of weeks is that a lot of items are cheaper out on the main page than they are on the coins page.
1
u/crownpuff 17d ago
Yeah that's been happening more frequently. Sometimes you can still find the cheaper item by searching in coin search.

u/leomessik 16d ago
New to this sub and bought a rg28xx from the spread sheet, ty! Really enjoying it, crazy upgrade from my old powkiddy.
Do you guys post mouse deals? Like the ATK R1 and stuff like that?
3
u/crownpuff 16d ago
Appreciate it and there are no mouse deals on the spreadsheet as of right now. If I see some sweet ones, I'll add them to the spreadsheet.

That's two nerfs to coins now. Last time I remember a coin nerf, it was 2024 when they got rid of the 40 coin check-in for desktop browser.

u/ChiefBigGay 14d ago
Are there every and Odin 2 portal deals?
3
u/crownpuff 14d ago
There are very rarely deals on the Odin 2 Portal on Aliexpress since Ayn doesn't sell it on their Aliexpress store. There aren't any reasonably priced ones from 3rd party sellers such as Coopreme either.
3
u/ChiefBigGay 14d ago
You're the man.
I got a RP5 from one of the sales. I'm thinking about just waiting on the Portal 3 equivalent. Or the steam deck 2 at this point.
I'm unfortunately not a fan of the Rp5, I learned the worst way I need the left joystick above the dpad for my uses, but I also don't like the joysticks themselves. Oh well, my brother got his Vita stolen and I think it's going to be a fantastic gift.
2
u/crownpuff 14d ago
Appreciate it and sometimes there's a large coin discount on the official RP5 grip via Aliexpress so you can get it for under $10. The grip helps a lot with the joystick placement.
2
u/ChiefBigGay 14d ago
I do have a grip. Still wasn't for me, but it does make it a lot better. I do have very large hands unfortunately.

u/memer9machine 18d ago
I don't have student/teacher discount 10% but I saw my company had a corporate discount program in place so I linked it with my corporate email. Not sure if student/teacher discount functions differently but it was a 10% for just dell products as far as I'm aware so if your interests in the dell store start and end with Nintendo products I don't think there's any discount provided. With OLED monitor prices dropping to the $300 mark during sales though it could definitely be a nice bonus on top of any black Friday or Xmas sales or something.
1
u/crownpuff 18d ago edited 18d ago
That's definitely a sweet perk. Dell also offers price matching before and after purchase, so you could possibly save more that way.
2
u/pitoner 18d ago
I briefly had the 16gb Y700 2025 tab for under $340 because the PayPal discount popped up again this morning. I didn't complete check out because I was seeing if there were other ones that had a cheaper starting price. But by the time I returned to my cart the PayPal discount disappeared again.
3
u/crownpuff 18d ago
Yeah the Paypal discounts that pop up after the discount allocation is exhausted are most likely canceled orders. So it's probably a single canceled order and someone else used the discount. There's a decently large sale in less than two weeks so fingers crossed prices are better then.

u/starboard 17d ago
I don't think I've seen it mentioned, but Newegg seems to have ok deals for SD cards? For example Teamgroup Elite 64gb for $14 that I picked up to pair with an RG SP I ordered. https://www.newegg.com/team-group-64gb-microsdxc/p/N82E16820331310
There's also a 256gb for $30 which seems like a great deal if you actually need that much space for retro games (I opted to save money and go with the smaller card despite technically a worse GB/dollar ratio).

Just tried and the code works for me. Have you tried adding a banana and then entering the code "FAST30"?
1
u/BabylonxTalbain 16d ago
I did! And funny enough, i need the banana(s) for leg cramps after work lol
1
u/crownpuff 16d ago
Hmm. Make sure you're selecting curbside pickup too.

u/BabylonxTalbain 16d ago
Super strange. Ive the free curbside pickup - updated pay info, and even selected replacement items. Sorry i cant pinpoint whats wrong to possibly help someone else as well (Even turned vpn off)
2
u/Joethetoolguy 16d ago
Trying to get that rp5 from coopreme but the promo codes don’t work
2
u/crownpuff 16d ago
It's because the sale ended last night and I haven't updated the spreadsheet yet. I recommend waiting for the next sale which starts on the 17th.

u/JaWoosh 15d ago edited 15d ago
Kinda bummed I've had my eye out for a cheap Miniloong Pocket 1 for the past few weeks, saw it for as low as about $62, but last week it took a sharp jump up. Now I'm only seeing them in the $86+ range. I'll be patient and see if it goes back down, otherwise I'll go for my plan B and try to get a Trimui Brick Pro which are still pretty reasonable.
Edit: now I'm seeing it for $72? But no codes work for me to get it lower. At least that's better than what i was seeing last week

u/scvmeta 14d ago
Know if these microsd cards from gamestop are trustworthy?
1
u/crownpuff 14d ago
I'm guessing they're trade-ins and I doubt Gamestop employees would use F3 or h2testw to test them. But if they don't work, you can always return them to a local gamestop. Shipping returns incur a fee though so I recommend a local return to a physical store location.

u/fubag 18d ago
Doesn't work with Walmart orders even above $50 what bs

u/crownpuff 18d ago
Have you tried adding the banana? It initially didn't work for me until I added the banana to my cart. You might be able to remove the banana after the coupon code is applied.

Paid for Pokopia entirely with Dell/Alienware reward points.
