Dell Honoring WD 200GB Drive for $22 after $200MIR

It's official, Dell is honoring the WD 200GB Hard Drive for $22 after $200 rebate deal. If you ordered, you should receive an email shown below. Congrats for those who got in.

"Dear Valued Customer,

After further consideration, we have determined that the $200 in rebates will be honored on eligible purchases of 200 GB Western Digital hard drives ordered between September 25, 2003 and September 27, 2003. Please disregard our prior communication on this issue. We value you as a customer and will keep your order in process at the original online purchase price.

If you have cancelled your order due to the initial message posting and wish to reinstate your order, please respond back to the US_DELL_NOTIFY@DELL.COM <> mailbox. Due to the overwhelming response to this promotion the Western Digital hard drive will have twenty one days lead time before the item ships. We will be posting revised instructions for submitting rebate requests and will be extending the submission deadline.

If you would still like to cancel your order please contact us at the US_DHS_NOTIFY@DELL.COM <> mailbox. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you and thank you for your patience in this matter."

I guess many of you are gonna have to eat your own words. Dell has decided to honor all orders for the 200GB drive placed from 9/25-9/27. That means the $200 rebate is valid, and you will get the drive for a total of $22 after rebate. Deal of The Year.

Yes, lets post a few more threads about it.

 

[ElGuache]

Did you have to purchase one of those drives between those dates to be eligible? Would it be applicable if I ordered one now?

LOL.

Well, if you went through ebates or got some fat ca$h back, it's an even better deal at around $17.

Anybody know if this also applys to the $187 drive? This one was on the website as drive only but when I called to order as well as some others on the forums, they were told it was the full retail package?

Thanks

 

[ElGuache]

this is only for the full retail package, not the bare drives.

Ok, I received this email on Oct 2, but have not received one saying the deal is still in effect. My order was on Oct 26. So are only SOME buyers getting the deal? HAs anyone who got the email below, got the one saying the deal is back on? FWIW, I did NOT cancel my order.

Valued Customer,

This note is in reference to your order for a 200 GB Western Digital hard drive that you have placed. It has come to our attention that duplicate $100 mail-in rebate coupons were posted online on the product page for this drive, although there is only one rebate available on this drive. We do not want any customers to have ordered this drive based on the mistaken assumption that $200 of rebates applied, so we want to give you this opportunity to cancel your order if there was any confusion resulting from the duplicate rebate coupons.

If you wish to continue your order with $100 in applicable mail-in rebates with a revised ship date, you may do so by contacting the US_DELL_Notify@Dell.com mailbox. If we do not hear from you within 3 business days of this notice, we will conclude that you do not wish to continue with your order, and we will cancel it. Please respond with your order number or customer number please.

Thank you,
Dell Notification Team

Yes, many of us got the e-mail you have posted, and later received the e-mail stating it will be honored. It is as it states, for the orders from Sept. 25-27, which is what I believe yours is, despite your saying

My order was on Oct 26.

If you don't get the e-mail, then send them an e-mail yourself, or give them a call.

[BigJimbo]

so does this mean we can send both rebates in the same envelope?

 

[topnotcher]

OK, the price is now 209.95 can we price protection it? Does that work on non-system purchases?

If you would bother to read the post I was answering instead of trying to be a smart -ss,you woul know I was explaing these are not the same drives.You can not price match unlike items!!!!!
