Diverdown- One of the Maxtor rebates does mention you need to get a 40 GB hard drive with model #'s starting with STO1, etc... even though the 30 GB hard drive does start with ST01. Incidentally, I found ANOTHER Maxtor rebate.. this one does not specify that you need a 40 GB hard drive... just a Maxtor hard drive kit. It seems like there are two similiar rebates.. they were issued at different dates and have diff expirations dates as well.
Hey2- I accidentally went ahead and pricematched/bought my HD at Staples without thinking that I had coupons back home to use. I went to another store the next day and according to the printable coupons ($10 off $40, $25 off $100), you can use them in-store, but only one per customer and so on. I ended up having to return the HD and card (to have it credited to my account) and afterwards, they went ahead and applied the coupons. They did mention they needed physical proof of a coupon.. otherwise I would've used the better coupon codes floating around somewhere.
Blingbling-

-That sounds like an pretty sweet deal that you got. How are you able to apply two rebates (one for each card/HD combo) to get $100 off total? I think each Maxtor rebate for $50 off requires you to send in original UPC codes for each HD/card. How do you come up with a second hard drive UPC code? At any rate, lemme know how it works because that would be great if it works. Thanks.
