Default What would be considered a good deal on a city mini double?

So we are leaning towards getting the Baby Jogger City Mini Double Stroller. We probably wont get it till Dec/Jan. But we will still keep an eye out on a good deal, that said what in general whats the highest percentage discount to expect strollers to dip down to?

i also bought the bjcmd when i was expecting my second. it was stolen, so i had my eye out again for a good deal. i've never seen anything below 399 for new. i got my original at a steal for 300, used once, from craigslist. used is going to be your best bet for less than 400. don't pay more than 350 for barely used. good luck finding one!!!

If you don't mind dealing with the cashback from bing.com, you can find deals for the BJCMD for about $295+ with and without shipping, and don't forget to check for tax.

With bing.com, you pay the regular price but then bing gives you cashback in about 60 days, thus the discount. Just make sure you got through bing.

Have you used bing.com? Did you actually get the percent claimed? I read some people got less the the percent claimed and were bascially stuck with that price or paying return shipping on the item even though it was bing or the company's error...?

I've used bing.com before, but never for something this big. Other than bing.com the best I can find is a 12% military discount one website has.

I used bing.com and got my stokke tripp trapp through comfort1st.com. Got my 20% cashback. The best way to know how much % cashback you qualify for is to search for that specific item. I believe, if you search BJCMD, you'll see 8-26% off at certain stores with and without free shipping.

You can get it at comfort 1st whose lowest cashback is 20% but you need to search for another baby item and then purchase it. of course, that's at your risk of how much cashback you actually get then. When I bought my tripp trapp, I accessed 20% CB on comfort1st by another search word.

By the way, I don't know what the deal was but my tripp trapp did not come in the original box. I still need to call comfort1st to make sure it wasn't an open box item.

I was lucky and had my eye on the city mini double for a long time, constantly checking Amazon.com...and on ONE day they marked it down by $100. The next day, the deal was no more. So we got ours for $299 free shipping, no tax. But I think it was a lucky break.
