My wife and I decided to look into getting a massage chair, because why not. (I’m aware there are heated internet debates about chair cost over time vs human massage visits, etc, this is not about the merits of a chair, just passing on a deal.)

I have access to the Panasonic EPP through an employer program (which I was scouring to see if get reasonable pricing on a chair) and noticed that Panasonic has some particularly deep discounts on their chairs.

This is their top of the line chair which has an MSRP of $ 8,999.95, and the cheapest I can find it online for is $ 6,499 – $ 7,000. You can get it refurbished from a random seller on rakuten for $ 3,799.99, but that’s a random seller and refurb, so no.

Some information about the chair:

This comes with white glove delivery and a 5 year warranty.

Note, they are having some issues with their EPP checkout right now, mainly you get to the end after entering your credit card and the discount disappears. What worked for me was going into my account, adding a credit card to my account, setting it as default, and then going back through checkout with that. It appears something to do with adding a credit card drops you out of EPP pricing.
