9800 pro for 150 after rebate!!

[imported_nitrus]

BestBuy is selling the 9800 pro for 219 + 50 rebate. Take a frys ad to match it to 199 before rebate.

Already tried. No go. Manager said that their after MIR price was lower, so no PM.

Would prove helpful to add "price match" (or an abbreviation, of course) to the thread title. Also is quite a YMMV situation, as Best Buy policy typically favors the store on price matching with rebates.

Doubt this would work unless this is a mfg rebate because all the rebate forms beastbuy prints out says they will not honor rebates if the price has been pm.

It doesn't appear to be a BB rebate.

Rebate

It seems to be going to ATi themselves as it says: "ATI and their fulfillment companies are not responsible for late, lost , mutilated, misdirected or postage due requests."

It also doesn't say that it needs to be purchased at BB, so I'm wondering if we can just buy the card at Fry's and then submit the rebate.

Mailing address is:

Well the fact that "best buy.com" is WATERMARKED all over the rebate might cause a slight problem.

Watermark won't print out if you select the text and then print "selection" only. When selecting text, omit anything that says BB.

Have to admire the candor of suggesting blatantly fraudulent actions, most especially in a public forum.

 

[Corporate Thug]

people have been coming in and trying to PM this all day, each and every one have been turned down

 

[BlackMamba]

Probably good that they were turned out, because the rebate would be denied later on anyway.

This could be hot for those of us on the east coast with no access to a Fry's. Hmm...now I just have to decide whether to get this or a Geforce 6800GT. argh........

If you have the money the GT is the way to go no question, especially with doom 3 here in like 2 weeks.

I have already decided to get a GT, but thats because I already sold my pro and need a card NOW.

However if I were anyone else I would wait and see what the doom 3 benches are like on the 9800 pro befor e I bought one.

Bingo. That's what I decided on. Either my friend or I will buy Doom 3, and run it on our current setups. If it runs like poo, I'll see how the 9800 Pros are stacking up against it, then make a purchasing decision at that time. For me, it's all about best bang for the buck, not latest and greatest. But even the 6800 regular is looking hot.

Is this FACT, or just a chance.

Have you had a BB rebated denied because you used a PM?

This is a FACT if it's a BB rebate.

For example, take a look at this rebate.

Under the Terms and Conditions, it states:

"Customers who receive a price match will not be eligible for the rebate. Those who receive a rebate and later receive a price match, will have the value of the rebate deducted from the price match."

So it's a huge YMMV if you expect to get both a PM and a BB rebate.

Thanks for that info.


Fortunately, this rebate does not have that specific text and does not mention price matching at all. So it llooks to be ok.

At the bottom, it says:
"If you have questions or wish to check on the status of your rebate, please call the Best Buy Rebate Center at 1-888-BESTBUY."

Seems risky; doesn't seem like a manufacturer rebate.

I would consider that move FRAUD
