It still won't recognize my store number and Intel still hasn't responded to my email...any suggestions? Should I call them on the phone?

I have direct deposit yet I still get a pay stub, theres just no check inside of it. Even though you have direct deposit you are still entitled to a detailed pay stub as if you didnt have direct deposit.

The terms you agree to when you get one of these deals says specifically that you cannot sell this item, nor can you gift it to ANYONE....so what you are describing is as wrong as the schmucks who will apply for this.

FWIW, I don't believe that sort of restriction is "The Law", so if anything, they would have to make you sign something (legal contract agreeing to those restrictions), and if you violated it, Intel would have to sue you for damages in civil court (breach of contract). It certainly wouldn't be worth their time, nor the bad PR they would get.

Intel does not have legal rights over their property past the first sale. It's called the "first sale" doctrine, look it up. The only way they could would be through a contractual stipulation or basically a leasing contract, which would make it something other than an outright sale.

IANAL, YMMV, VWP

As far as posting this in an open forum, why not? It's a hot deal for those employees that can get in on it. How is it any different than posting a local/regional hot deal, that only certain people can get in on? As far as the SB Dell coupon code thread being locked, the forum rules explicitly prohibit posting or requesting non-public coupon codes. They do not prohit posting of deals that may only apply to a certain limited portion of the population.

My personal guess is, this is a PR move by Intel to butter-up all of those retail sales drones out there (no offense), get them subconciously thinking warm and cozy thoughts about Intel for being so nice to them, and then them promoting Intel systems over AMD systems to customers this Christmas season. (Pretty clever of Intel, I must admit.)

Info stolen from some other bargain website...

For those looking at another alternative, Intel has a deal for people who recieved postcards with promo codes on them for the same processor but a lesser motherboard. Perhaps someone might take advantage of that...

as far as this being a legal contract, it is, but you don't have t4o sign anything for it to be... aka
you walk into a store, pick up some gum, give the casheir money and leave the store.. you just legally have made a contract.

I got my reply email weds.. sent my form and letter and original paycheck stub dated 10/18..
blacked out the appropriate stuff..soooo.. hopefully I will get this!!
I am glad its the D845EPT2 board.. it will be nice to have built in USB 2.0 on the motherboard!

now all i gotta do is wait for the approval code, and the website to goto to utilitize it.
I hope these codes don't get hijackked and people start misusing the website.

That promo appears to be restricted to specific retail employees as well. I.e., pass a test, send in your pay stub, and then get your one time only (post card) code.

 

[codeyf]

Anyone find out if they're making verification calls or what not? Cuz my friend that works at Best Buy that is going in on this deal is quitting Tomorrow. He's sending in his paystub and all that, but with tomorrow being his last day......

Nate,

I'm having the same problem. That and the fact that intel won't respond to email inquiries. Let me know if you figure out how to get it to work.

Same here

They responded once and told me to put in "000"
But that doesn't work for me (Sam's Club)

I replied back saying that it didn't work...no word yet...

 

[aDub]

Store number 000 should work for Wal-Mart, it did for me.

Ok, what the hell board is this? I have heard like 3 different boards refered to in here. The beginning says D845EBT2, this board doesnt even show up on Intels site, the link shown in the beginning shows hte D945PEBT2, now someone on page five says its the D845EPT2. Can someone tell me which board this it? Im not gonna even bother if its the D845EPT2, that board is a piece.

 

[tekkjunkie]

copy and paste from Intel :

What you get:
2.53 GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 processor
Intel® Desktop Board D845PEBT2
Microsoft* Windows* XP Professional
McAfee* Internet Security 5.0
A retail value of $730.00 for a special low price of $175.00 plus shipping, handling and any applicable taxes.

 

[lbhskier37]

Thanks for clarifying. Definitly a sweet board. I really like the serial ata raid for the future.

 

[Devistater]

Dang nice deal. Darn compusa, I applied to them a while back and they never contacted me. I guess I can't get it.

ok dont bother...the cpu is at least 504 more than this total.....hm? but cuzz a board sucks u pas it up? must be nice to be clueless. have any idea how much you could sell this stuff for? cha ching

 

[ivwshane]

Suck ass?

That motherboard kicks ass! Sure you can't overclock it but at 2.53GHz who the hell cares? It's stable has plenty of extra's like sata, ata 100, raid 0,1, and usb 2.0.
The board sells for around $150-$160 and the chip is $230, that alone makes this a kick ass deal! then throw on winXP pro! that's another $100-$200

Sell it, so I can keep my 1.3GHz system? Then what turn around and buy a better board that will give me overclocking abilities? No thanks this stuff is for me.


And that people is my 2 cents!

Windows XP Pro Full Retail is $299

 

[NateDiggity]

The "000" store number still didn't work for Wal-Mart.
I guess I'll just have to wait and see if they
ever reply to my e-mail. Thanks guys, if you
figure out anything else, let me know.

Even better

 

[Mustanggt]

This is a great deal for those in that line of work, If i worked at any of those places I would be all over this, must take very long time to process these orders if they are verifing employment.
