Thanks for confirming. I can just use the address for the Tokyo Marriott where we always stay until we get that akiya, but if we can’t double dip, that will be a deal breaker. I don’t want to pay a premium to buy the laptop in Japan, the goal is to save money.

Now having said that, Costco Japan has the configuration that we want for JPY238,800 vs the $258,800 at Bic/Yodabashi etc - but I can’t tell from the website if that is plus tax or including tax. If it’s including tax than the price is just about the same as Bic minus the tax.

But without the additional points or rebate, the USA will be cheaper in the end.

Unless the yen hits 150 or better by the end of the week
