JB HiFi has Surface Laptop 2, 13.5" i5 8th Gen, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD on sale for $1198, same as Harvey Norman. But I have Amex Microsoft deal saved on my Amex cards, twice. I checked MS online store, it has 15% off RRP of $1499, which is $1274. I went there tried to ask for a price match, so I could bring down the cost to $998 as I could used two times of my Amex Statement credit.

I walked in to the Pitt Street Microsoft store, saw the advertised price on the display table was $1198, same as JB and HN. No need to haggle for a price match, ordered one and split the payment to two Amex cards, $998 for the shinny new laptop.
However, when staff scanned the laptop, it showed up as $1274 same as web store, after I pointed out the price displayed in the store, he was happy to overwrite it.
If you have saved the Amex deal for MS, this deal, spend $500 for $100 cashback, is better price than Harvey Norman Amex deal, which is
spend $350 for $50 cashback. If you save on multiple Amex cards, you can only split the payment in store.
literally just post reduced prices for the 256gb laptop 2 and surface pro 6 but only in black
