News Flash – QuickBooks Pro only $99.99 and QuickBooks Premier only $227.99!
Looks like the steep discounting from Sams Club and Costco over the last month has finally got Amazon’s attention and they’ve followed suit.
This usually happens soon after the holidays, and once Amazon breaks the $100 barrier on QuickBooks Pro it usually stays right around this price until the next version of QuickBooks is released, which is usually in September/October.
Since Amazon’s price is actually much lower than what we pay Intuit, even though we’re Intuit Solutions Providers, we have no choice but to remove it from our QuickBooks price list.
However, we have put together an Amazon store on our website that lists all the lowest prices on QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Mac, QuickBooks Premier, and QuickBooks Accountant. We also threw in some of our favorite QuickBooks training guides as well as the lowest prices on TurboTax – hey, it’s that tiome of year after all and nothing works better with QuickBooks.
For those of you 2009 users who are facing Intuit no longer supporting your product this May, this is the perfect time to start tracking prices. QuickBooks Pro probably won’t get much lower, but QuickBooks Premier probably will. We’ve seen it below $200 once prices start dropping.
Remember, as of May 31, 2012 Intuit will no longer support the 2009 product line. This not only means you won’t be able to get tech support if you need it, but that many important services will stop working – payroll, merchant services, online banking, even the ability to email forms and reports.
So, bookmark our Amazon store and keep checking until you see a price you like!
