Where to find deal on Briggs & Riley

My wife has a trip to Ireland scheduled for the end of August to Ireland

We are thinking about the 25" B&R spiinner

If you had this much time to watch for a "deal", where would you be watching?

I signed up for an account on eBags and B&R's website

The Amazon email signup was a few years ago and was 10%, but Amazon does not appear to be doing that anymore.

So any other suggestions?

If your employer participates in any employee discount programs, there are often discounts. Beneplace offers 20% off B&R.

While not exactly what you're asking, a few years ago, one of the online luggage retailers (ebags?) ran a promotion offering 35 AAdvantage miles per dollar spent. I value AA miles at at least 1.5 cents/miles, so that gave me a more than 50% discount. I ended up buying a B&R roll-aboard during that promotion.

Not sure if or when there will be a similar promotion.

When I clicked on eBags the first time, it said "Sign up and get a 20% discount". Now when I go back in, I don't see it. But if you had were on a different id and cleared cookies it might pop up again.

They don't allow you to use it on any of the premium manufacturers like B&R. They are all on the exclusion list.

Looks like a great price to me. But it is the small commuter.

We're looking for the Large Baseline Spinner ($629)

That is a good price on the commuter bag

The Extra Large is too big for checked International travel, so we settled on the Large size.

25" would be Medium (I believe). $569
MrRebates is 15% back at Ebags.
Might be better deals out there-didn't look very hard.
I usually buy B&R old stock when on sale.

How does Mr RFebates work?

Could you buy something from there and not get the rebate?

Sign up at Mrrebates.com, then choose the vendor. They advise the amount of rebate. All info on their site. There are a number of cash rebate firms (or you can use the airline shopping which gives you miles. I use Ebates.com, Shopathome.com,mrrebates.com. Also you can compare and see other sites by using:
