Wal-Mart's Super Bowl 50 Sales Push

Some 68,500 fans will be jammed into Levi’s Stadium at kick-off time for Super Bowl 50, and if this year’s game attracts as many U.S. TV viewers as last year’s game, another 114 million or so Americans will be watching the action on TV. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT) reckons this is a pretty good time to promote TVs.

The world’s largest retailer already advertises some good buys on big-screen TVs and has another one teed up for the week before the big game.

For example, a 55-inch LG 4K Ultra HD 2160p TV (55UF6450) is now selling for $698, a savings of around 22% from the list price of $899.99. Free value shipping or pickup at a nearby Wal-Mart store is included.

A 50-inch Vizio 4K Ultra HD 2160p LED Smart TV (D50u-D1) is selling for $598, a savings of $130 (18%) from the list price of $728.00. Free value shipping or pickup is included.

A 32-inch Sony 720p LED HDTV (KDL-32R300C) is available for $198. Wal-Mart notes that this is a special purchase, not a markdown. Value shipping or store pickup is free.

An LG 43-inch 1080p LED HDTV (43LF5400) is selling for $298, a savings of 25% from the list price of $399.99. Free value shipping or store pickup is included.

And, according to our source, a Samsung 50-inch 4K Ultra HD 2160p Smart TV (UN50J6500) that carries a list price of $1,349 will be available on January 29 for $698, a savings of 48%. Value shipping is free, as is store pickup.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
