Well I don't know if I completely agree with your logic on that, it wouldn't really be your money if they didn't give any cash back "rewards", so I guess, by your logic, you're not really only spending $20 but actually $40 (since that would be the gift certificate amount).
4. You have to wait for that certificate to arrive - which can take weeks.
I don't really see why this is a problem considering that the set won't actually be released for another month or so.
5. You have to see if it is usable online - does anyone know?
I'm pretty sure that you can use the GC online because Borders allows their GCs to be used both online and B&M
6. Then maybe you can order the dvd set if the $10 MIR still applies.
All rebate requests must be postmarked by March 1, 2003, and received by March 7, 2003.
7. I believe that in order to get the $10 rebate you have to have purchased BOTH the theatrical version AND the collecter's gift set and have the receipts for both.
Actually you are right on this point, that's my mistake, you do need to have purchased the theatrical-version as well.
So, then it would come out to $19.94 + tax (ships free)
You'd probably be able to do this B&M as well if you prefer.
Anyway, maybe I'm biased, but in my opinion this is a fairly hot deal for Discover Card members looking to spend their rewards somewhere.
