We at PC Universe appreciate sites like Dan’s Deals and the consumers that support them in spreading the word about great deals. Unfortunately, our first “Dan’s Deal” was the result of an error and not a great deal I negotiated with a giant like Sony. We at PC Universe would never mislead our customers, resort to bait and switch tactics or any other smoke and mirrors to generate business. Our goal is to serve our customers with dedication by bringing you value – we aren’t just out looking for the next order.

So how did we end up listing a $1400 video recorder for under $500?

Unfortunately, we transmitted data on a handheld scanner that Buy.com’s system recognized as the camcorder. Simple as that. Our fault completely, and we immediately corrected the error when we realized what had happened. We did have to cancel the orders that were placed before we took the deal down. We certainly did not intend to mislead anyone, and errors of this sort, where products “map” incorrectly, do occur in this electronic age. We provide data for literally thousands of products to Buy on a daily basis and constantly work on improving our data and our performance. In fact, you will see an incredible number of changes on our site in the coming months. Stay tuned.

Clearly, Dan’s Deals readers are well informed, because one commenter did correctly post that PC Universe was recently acquired by a member of the Monsey community. It’s amazing what information is available on the internet today. Believe me, if I could reach out to each of you personally and apologize for the error I would. Again, we never intended to present anything misleading. Even in Corporate America, honest mistakes happen. And sometimes, “Corporate America” is a lot closer to home than you think.

What I would like to do in lieu of a handshake is offer all of Dan’s Deals readers $10 off of any purchase over $100. You can enter the promo code DANWINS in the “Gift Certificates, Coupons, and Promotion Codes” section of our shopping cart at www.pcuniverse.com and I’ll make sure the offer is valid through 5/4/09.

Hatzlocho and best regards,

Perry Dubinsky

I admit it, I let my some 170,000 of my mom’s AA miles expire. But c’mon I’ve got miles and points in dozens of programs, can I really be expected to track my entire family’s miles as well? (I’ve since added my entire family’s mileage programs to my own mileage spreadsheet.)

Fine, my bad, but not to worry though, AA has an unpublished program called the “Re-Engage ChAAlenge!”

Sure AA has a published Reactivate miles program, but it’s prohibitively pricey…

So you probably know about AA’s Elite ChAAlenge which started costing money as of last October.

But AA also has a ChAAlenge to let you reactivate your miles for free.

There are 3 levels of the Re-Engage ChAAlenge. You have 1 year to complete the ChAAlenge from the date you sign up.
Sign up by simply calling AAdvantage customer service at 800-882-8880, say “AAdvantage account,” and ask for the Re-Engage ChAAlenge. They will send you an email with a PDF telling you exactly what you need to do to unexpire your miles. When you complete the requirements just call them back at the same number.

Re-Engage ChAAlenge Level 1: For reinstating 1-50,000 miles:
-You must subscribe to AAdvantage eSummary and AAdvantage Promotions email for 3 months.
And any one of the following:
Option 1: Open a new AA credit card and spend $750 on it.
Option 2: Earn 5,000 AA miles from a minimum of 3 AA partners. (See mileagemaximizer.com for tips)
Option 3: Fly on a round trip AA flight of at least 750 miles each way.

Re-Engage ChAAlenge Level 2: For reinstating 50,001-200,000 miles:
-You must subscribe to AAdvantage eSummary and AAdvantage Promotions email for 3 months.
-You must open a new AA credit card and spend $750 on it.
And either of the following:
Option 1: Earn 5,000 AA miles from a minimum of 3 AA partners. (See mileagemaximizer.com for tips)
Option 2: Fly on a round trip AA flight of at least 750 miles each way.

Re-Engage ChAAlenge Level 3: For reinstating 200,001 or more miles:
-You must subscribe to AAdvantage eSummary and AAdvantage Promotions email for 3 months.
-You must open a new AA credit card and spend $750 on it.
And either of the following:
Option 1: Earn 10,000 AA miles from a minimum of 3 AA partners. (See mileagemaximizer.com for tips)
Option 2: Fly on 2 round trip AA flights of at least 750 miles each way.

I spent the day today with my dear wife at the Cavs-Pistons game at the Palace of Auburn Hills where the Cavs finished their 1st round playoff sweep of the Detroit Pistons. (12 more wins to go for Cleveland’s first championship in 45 years!)

The coolest part?

The place was packed full of excited Cavs fans! Cavs’ play by play announcer Joe Tait even said that in his 39 years of calling basketball that he had never seen an opponent’s arena so full of fans of the visiting team! The “Lets Go Cavs” and “MVP” cheers easily drowned out any “Lets go Dee-troit” attempts… According to ESPN Joe Tait even joked that “It’s great to be in Cleveland” and the Pistons’ Antonio McDyess said about the Cavs turnout and chants that “It was just embarrassing.” How awesome is that???

The mood after the game all around the arena was breathtakingly celebratory, it’s truly hard to describe the scene, but it was basically a road game with ecstatic Cleveland fans and Ohio license plates everywhere you looked.

It was well worth the 3 hour weekend drive to experience.

Even Sarah’s Deli, a sweet little Detroit kosher restaurant, had at least 4 tables full of Cavs fans by the time I got there. If you find yourself there, ask for a Bubba Burger with Pastrami (A burger with 3 slices of hamburger buns and excellent breaded onions with bbq sauce) together with their famous ranch dressing, it’s truly outstanding.

I’ll be back in Cleveland tomorrow evening, but do any readers have any good Detroit tips for the daytime? Any good kosher groceries to pick up in Canada in case we take the bridge to Windsor? Post ‘em now!

I actually just saw this exact model at costco yesterday for $70, so this is a great price…
