(DEAD) AIW RADEON 8500 128MB $149.99 at CompUSA (after rebates) | (MAYBE $99 YMMV)

[Megatomic]

I ought to sell my GF4 and jump on this deal. I need ViVo pretty badly.

Man.......I hate this forum...I am going into the poor house!:Q

Since it's going to the same rebate center (TCA, AKA: WheresMyD@mnRebate.com) I would send both in the same envelope with the original UPC. You might want to send a little note with it explaining why you are sending two different rebate offers in the same envelope. Make sure you keep a copy of everything and keep the original ad!!! Also follow up and check the status online often. If it's late call them up and keep bugging them.

I did this recently with the 8500DV version at CC. Sent the original upc to the first, & sent a copy to the 2nd, along with a note explaining why. This was also a deal where both rebates went to the same address, but different department#. This was also a deal where the retailer advertised both rebates in their ad.

I got both of my rebates. I believe you will all get both of yours.


On another note:
I am jealous. I already own this card. I paid $250 AFTER rebate.
(not including BVG savings)
Of course, that was a pretty good deal back in May/June.

If I hadn't already used up my BVG for the year, I would be buying this card, and looking to BVG it in about 60 days.

Thanks DUKAT1 for your input - they kind of make it hard for a reason don't they!

Been waiting for this price for some time - sold.

Thanks music for the post.

If one of those rebates was a Circuit City rebate, Circuit City allows you to send a copy of the UPC.

I think prices for AIW 8500 are starting to fall because of AIW 9700 Pro release..

I just got one at the local Comp USA store, they have the same rebates and the rebate forms.
I was asked to send one original and one photocopy of the UPC for the two rebate forms. I guess the same applies to the online store too.

More after I install the card..

For those who bought this, most of you won't get one or both of the rebates.

Hehe, I hate CompUSA when they do after rebate sale. 99.999% of their rebates goes to TCA which has horrible record in fulfillment, not to mention their near-illegal ways of delaying and rejecting rebates.

My rebate for the buy 100 imation cdrs and a 100 pack of jewel cases for $10 after $30 mir was approved. I had sent it in around mid-september.

But can i send in both rebates in one envelope with the original upc since they go to the same address?

 

[bubbadu]

i would look for bb to drop the price possibly to *149.97* tomorrow.. in the past they have done this several times when compusa or whoever has a rebate... i cant guarnette anything but its worth a look if anyone is at BB tomorrow... in the past they have always droped prices on monday for some reason and this would be a perfect example... the reason i say this is beacuase when compusa had the 128 8500 for 129.99 BB droped the price to 129.97.. the .97 is the key..

Well then you pm to bb $250-$150 = $100 x .1 = $10

$150-10=$140-$100rebates=$40 aiw 8500 128mb

I'm all over this deal! If I could get it at $40, great! If not, this is still a good deal. My All-In-Wonder 128 has served me well for the last 3 years, and I'm really curious about the performance of the Radeon version. I do not do much gaming on the pc. Mostly Internet, movies (DVD and Divx), graphic editing, AutoCAD, office apps. etc. Will there be much noticeable difference between the two cards, if anyone has compared them?

 

[Teak101]

in that case, i'll just buy another one at bb, return that to crapusa, since i already opened theirs, and still get to try the rebates

 

[Mustanggt]

ptbrulz, you would prob be better off getting the AIW 8500 64 MB, that will most likley drop to $125 in the very near future, seeing your not a big gamer you will see huge difference with the 64 mb card from what you have now. $250 + TAX cash out of pocket and waiting 3 months to get $100 rebates if you get them is not for me.

why not buy one at cusa, pm to bb, and claim the rebates instead of committing fraud? just about the same thing except its legal
