Spa Giveaway @ Amazon

It says it's a contest, genius, not a free giveaway. How much do you make off of the referrals? Why don't we post up state lotteries too?

The Game of MIRs

I can't complain about this thread, if some found it educational, then it was worth it. Nowhere does it say they reject legitimate claims, only that their competitive advantage is that they have sophisticated means of eliminating duplicates in rebate replies. Nothing illegal or immoral about...

Deal on Round Bottom Wok from the New Cook's Catalog

Restaurant supply stores have always been the best places to get commercial quality cookware for K*Mart prices. Good stuff, all of them. Nice find. However, you know it's impossible to duplicate restaurant wok cooking at home, equipment aside, it's all about the heat.

**DEAD POST**

This is the same as those deals with the sunglasses that take out the 2-page ads in Car & Driver. Your price is free + jacked up shipping. These glasses cost about $1 apiece wholesale. Not that they're anything bad, nothing wrong with cheap sunglasses. (I think there's a song about...

Jos Banks Dress Shirts $10.00 each

I always wondered, why the heck is Jos. A. Banks short for "Joseph"? Shouldn't it be J. A. Banks? We don't call people... Michael J. Fox, we don't call him Mic. J. Fox Jerry Seinfeld, we don't call him Jer. Seinfeld Brad Pitt,, we don't call him Bra. Pitt!!! What's the deal?

FREE 50X Cdrom with PM

It's their stupid policy. I've tried to argue it with them. They say BB & CompUSA are not competitors since they're not "office products stores". I say anyone who sells the same product as you is a competitor, but ok. Just reinforces the fact that OM/OD/Staples are just in the...

Calphalon Skillet for $19.99, normally $85

Calphalon Skillet for $19.99, normally $85

The problem is that all of you are getting caught up on the SURFACE. That's what most advertising emphasizes, and that's because it's cheap when compared to the cost of really constructing a good pan. MATERIAL is what's most important. The cost of this pan comes from the pan materials, both...

Linksys wireless PC Card $69.97 + tax (802.11b compatible) 11MB

This is an EXCELLENT, HOT deal.. I paid $169 for Lucent Wavelan 802.11b cards (same thing) You didn't mention that this is an 802.11b card. That's CRUCIAL! That means it's not that "wireless Home Networking" junk that CompUSA usually sells, this is a genuine piece of equipment...

Drill Press 39.95

High RPMs don't do the cutting on a drill press, the drill heads do. In fact, slower RPMs are better for most materials better since it gives the drill bit time to clear the cuttings. It's far better to invest in a good set of drill bits and keep them sharp. A dull bit on a 30,000 RPM drill...

128MB RAM PNY PC100 for ~20.00after rebates

One CSR I spoke with said they had this deal up "on the board". Apparently, when a hot deal starts to register with them, they put their heads together and start thinking of a global excuse, then brief all of the reps on it. For her it was that the part numbers don't match. Another...

You know what? Staples is scamming US here. I just tried twice to get this item PM'd (the PC100) and got the "wrong part number" song and dance. You know what Staples did? That number that Staples has on record, "64174ESEM-CS" is bogus. Check PNY's product lookup: PNY's...

Rebates from PO Box 52900, Phoenix AZ 85072

Microsoft may be prompt with the rebates, but I found one of the sneakiest tricks I've ever seen on an MS product. It was the peel off rebate for AOE II Age of Kings. It was $20 back. Tiny little plastic coupon. God, this thing was a bear. They actually didn't print the rebate address on the...

Rebates from PO Box 52900, Phoenix AZ 85072

I second everything that's been said. Keep xerox copies of everything you send, even better if you can send a copy and keep the original, do so. Also keep the original offer. If the rebate house is anonymous, bug the crap out of the store. They have more to lose if you're pissed off anyway...

Western Digital 30.7GB Hard Drive $69.99 after rebate (or less)

If we PM staples with Office Depot, get staples for $129, then use $30 off $100 at staples, we're at $99, then $30 MIR = $69. There's more than one way to do this.
