Costco has Money 2004 Deluxe for 46.99-30$=16.99 (no UPC required for costco rebate)
and
there is a $20 rebate from Microsoft for Money 2004 Deluxe that makes it FREE (UPC required)

Thanks,

Costco.com

Microsoft


BTW how much is the S&H?

Drats...no Costco within 100 miles, therefore I'm not a member. Hopefully some other retailers will match this soon.

Those Microsoft links say to complete the rebate form, but I don't see a form to complete. It doesnt ask for my name, address, etc.

4. Mail completed rebate coupon and all required proof of purchase to:

Is the rebate form included in the software package?

Shipping for me is $7.88 and tax is $4.74 bringing the total to $59.61 before rebates. Anyone know if they honor this price in store, so I can save the $7.88 S&H?

You can still buy it online if not a member - they charge a 5% surcharge.

YMMV on that $20 Microsoft rebate: I just got a rejection letter from Microsoft stating that because I bought the product at a discount, I did not qualify for the extra $20 rebate. I've done this exact same rebate in years past without difficulty, but it looks like Bill is starting to crack down on double-dippers like me...

Why the hell should MS care what price you paid???? Does the rebate state "not valid if you paid less than XXX dollars"??? That's just plain wrong if they're doing that.

I got both my rebate for Streets and Trips (Costco & Microsoft), I don't see why they should reject this one, and yes you could by it from store same price as online expect no shipping.

Remember that Money and Quicken are FAR as part of the tax software package deals early in the year. You usually also get an anti-virus program FAR out of it, too. If you can wait, it might be worthwhile to wait.

There was no rebate coupon in Microsoft Money (I picked it up at Costco yesterday). Still a cheap price and Costco's online rebate system is much nicer than having to mail something, but I think the Costco packaging is different.

BUT, isn't that deal usually only for Money STANDARD? (while this deal is for DELUXE!)
