Sam’s Did Have Wii’s
Just letting all of you know that, yes, Sam’s Club did have Wii’s in stock. I am doing this so that all of you will trust the tracker. There has been some dissent sent my way from people saying that my tracker is crap. Trust me, if there is an error with one of my scripts, I will surely admit it and post the error here.
Screen shot from Sam’s Club showing stock was available:
And once more, hang in there! I know the frustration can be great.

Thanks, I appreciate your effort and honesty.

Yeah, I had one in the shopping cart, but by the time I got the on-line enrollment complete (I’m not currently a Sam’s member) it emptied the shopping cart and they were out again. Had to call and get my membership money returned. Close… oh, so close!

yes, I had one in my basket, but when I tried to renew my Sam’s membership, the Sam’s website gave an error and I lost the Wii. I’m trusting the tracker and praying I get a Wii soon!

quick question about purchasing from sams or costco online. I have a Bj’s membership but am unclear if I can order from the other clubs without one. PLMK and hopefully I can be quick enough soon to catch a wii! And thanks SO much for your trackers it really helps to know others are helping!

Justin,
You are doing a great job. People need to realize that you have no control over these websites. I appreciate your efforts and hope to get a Wii sometime soon. I have one ordered from Sears but as you know that is a mess and not because of your website!

Thanks so much!!!!! I usually don’t have the patience for this kind of crap but with your tracker I was able to snatch one today at Sams. Earlier this week, with the use of your tracker I got the Wii in my cart twice but lost it both times before completeing the purchase. It took me too long to fill in all the membership info. But your tracker really does work….. they are just selling out within 5 minutes. Keep trying people you have to actually hear your email arrive and click as quick as possible. Thanks again I couldn’t have done it without you!

Thanks for keeping up this site!! I found it two days ago and have been glued to it trying to find a Wii. I was able to get one from Sam’s today & I didn’t even have a membership!! I had to get a membership first and then purchase the Wii. The best part was that two of the games in the bundle were games that my daughter had asked for and I have 3 kids so the 3 remotes in the bundle are great!! I really lucked out today. Now to find the Wii Guitar Hero bundle…

Thanks so much – I also got the Family Bundle today at Sam’s. The first time you tracked it I actually had it in my cart and did not check out quick enough and lost it. I was lucky enough to check your site again and Sam’s had it available once again, this time I acted quick and have a confirmation number. Thanks again, your tracking site is the best one!!

Kaitlin,
I am not sure about BJ’s and their relationship with the other clubs. I would imagine that there is no crossover, but I could be entirely wrong.

How much did you all pay?
I see them pop up online (walmart and such), but it’s called the “customer bundle” and it’s a whooping $667 or something! what’s the difference between the bundles & the console. Man, I wish I knew more. I really only want to pay $250-300!
Any input would be helpful, I’m technically challenged! (:
Thanks!

Morgan,
The bundles are a way for retailers to make more money on a the sale of a Wii. Wal-mart is the king of bundles. Yes, $677 because it comes with so many extras. i believe it comes with 6-8 games, extra controlers and some accessories. Look on the site and you will see. They can sell them at this price because the demand is great and they have stock.
The console is just that… the standard Wii with 1 Nunchuk controller and 1 Wii Remote, plus Wii Sports a collection of 5 games. Read my Nintendo Wii Buying Guide to learn all about it.

Thank you!!! I got one from Sams today, although I’m not going to really believe it until it’s sitting on my front porch step! I, too, had to join Sam’s first. By the time I checked out it was gone, but I went back in through the link you sent me in my email alert and they were out there again about one minute later. It was quite a thrill. I had a coworker standing behind me cheering me on. Oh boy, what has this Wii search done to me??
November 29th, 2007 at 10:46 pm
I am one of those lucky ones, never thought it would happen. Thank you, thank you. My kids are going to be thrilled. Good luck to everyone, keep trying, luck may find you too! Can you believe all this for a wii? We are all just plain nuts!

A friend of mine spotted few Wii consoles (price $249) sitting inside Minnesota Target last Sunday. She got me one immediately!

I also got the WII bundle from Sam’s today. I checked the tracker (I was refreshing page throughout the morning) and Sam’s was green. I was lucky because I was already logged into my Sam’s account. Placed it in my basket and checked out. They were out of stock within five minutes. I think this is a great tool. I particularly like the “last checked” column.
FYI, I ordered something else from Sam’s this morning (before the Wii) and both orders show IN PROCESS.

Dang, I saw a bundle for $450+/- come up at toys R Us, but I think you can only get it in the store, because it says it’s “out of stock” when I clicked purchase & went through the process. I think that price came w/5 games. sounded like a good deal… I’ll keep trying.
P.S. Thanks for the info. Justin. Helpful.
November 30th, 2007 at 3:27 pm
I actually got one of the Toys R Us bundles this morning. The site stated in stock for quite some time after they were out of stock. Justin-this site is great. My kids are going to be so happy to get the Wii for Christmas. I may end up with two as I do not trust the Sears website. I placed my order on the 26th at 1:10 in the morning. Yesterday they changed my order date to the 27th and I still have not received any information from them.

This site really does work!!
Today, I received an email that Amazon had the wii console’s in stock. Thankfully, I have already purchased through Amazon before so all of my credit card info, shipping, etc was saved. I immediatley checked out and got a confirmation email from Amazon that my order is “shipping soon”. 249.99 out the door, with FREE shipping, no tax!
I started looking for the Wii Sunday evening and thanks to this site, it only took me 5 days to get my hands on one. Let me pass along the tips I have picked up from all my research so hopefully it can help somebody else find a wii at retail price as well:
1. This site works but you HAVE TO BE QUICK. The wii’s sell out online in only a few minutes. So, you should get accounts set up ahead of time for all the sites you’re interested in purchasing from.
2. Type out your name, address, billing, shipping info, credit card number and have this available to copy-paste, which may be quicker than typing.
3. Stay by your computer at all hours of the day, with your email open.
4. If at night, leave your computer on with an audible alert and make sure your screen saver is turned off. Consider, the audible email alert like an alarm clock so you are ready to order in the middle of the night.
5. If you want to try and find a wii locally, consider using iTrackr. None of the stores in my area had stock, but people claim that iTrackr is accurate for Target stores and not so much GameStop.
6. BE PERSISTENT, don’t lose hope, you have to treat this like an addiction.
Thanks again to Justin for creating this site. It may appear at first glance that the site doesn’t work and there is always no stock. But the site does work, and there is regular stock, it just only lasts a few minutes!
Good luck.

I got one from Sam’s the second go around. The first time I had to join and lost my cart. The second time it went through, and it’s on the UPS truck right now. Thanks so much for the tracker, it really did work!
December 1st, 2007 at 12:34 am
Thanks sooooo much!! I have been searching for a wii for quite some time now. I got on this website last night and I was able to get a wii from ToysRUs. I had told my five year old little girl that Santa could not make any enough wii’s for everyone and now I cannot wait to see her face on Christmas morning. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!
December 2nd, 2007 at 7:07 am
YES! I was able to get one from there online on friday morning.
December 4th, 2007 at 10:38 am
This tracker is not crap. I signed up for a Nintendo Wii and received a notice at 12:50 that it was in stock. I followed the link to Amazon.com and the Wii was mine at 12:52 – and received. Thanks so much.

I am so glad that I went to this site. I have been looking for the Wii for about 3 weeks or so in stores and online. I went to this site about a week ago and I was able to get a Wii from Toys R Us yesturday. And I received an email this morning and it is on the truck as we speak. Now my brother has me looking for one for him. This site really really works. It’s just that you have to be really quick because just like you are looking there are a million others looking(and the stores only have about 5 or 10). We just have to keep trying. Good Luck!!

I am trying for my second Wii now thanks to this Tracker system, it’s great. I am getting a bunch of notices, somethings when I am in meetings and can’t get to them,but it works. I got the first from Toysrus and should receive by Monday. Did anyone get Sams Club this morning, I was there within seconds of alert and it was sold out?
