Bose QuietComfort Headphones Hit $169 at Three Big Retailers
Dell, Amazon and Walmart list the Bose noise-cancelling headphones at $169, and Amex Business Platinum holders can lower the cost further.
Several outlets reported that Bose QuietComfort over-ear wireless headphones with noise cancelling are on sale for $169. Doctor of Credit says Dell.com, Amazon and Walmart all have the same price. Thrifty Traveler called it a record-low price and tied the sale to Amazon Prime Day.
Doctor of Credit says the headphones have recently sold for about $189 to $219. So the sale price is lower than what shoppers have seen lately.
Cardholders may save more. Doctor of Credit says the Amex Business Platinum card has a $150 Dell credit that must be activated first. It also mentions possible extra cash back through an Amex Offer and through Rakuten.
Upgraded Points reported that Business Platinum holders could pay as little as $19 out of pocket by combining the sale with one of the card's yearly credits.
What it means for travelers
Noise-cancelling headphones are a popular item for long flights and train rides. A lower price may help travelers who were already planning to buy a pair. Card credits can cut the cost further, but only for people who hold that card.
What to watch next
Prices, credits and offers can change, so check the final price and the card terms on the retailer and American Express sites before buying.
