This Google vs Paypal thing is one of the hottest deals I've seen come along in years. People should jump on this!

Brace yourself, bank account, you're in for a bumpy ride!

I'd say the Paypal one is warm. For one it is a rebate that goes to your paypal account 6-8 weeks later after Dec 31 (that blows to get a "rebate" 3 months from now). Secondly, it looks like a one time only rebate. You also need to register BEFORE thanksgiving to be eligible.

(some of) The Fine Print:

The Cash Rebate will be deposited into the participants' PayPal accounts within 6 to 8 weeks after 12/31/06. Limit one registration and one $20 rebate per person and/or PayPal Account. Offer available for a limited time.

Just a note, on buy.com most of the time shipping shows as costing money until you get to the checkout stage... you can select free ground shipping. They just try to get you to pay for the more expensive shipping.

$20 off $50 won't work for Wii games. Thought it would, but I tried and it wouldn't let me

Excellent tip, thank you.

That makes sense. I'm guessing that since this deal is repeatable, certain items would have to be off limits, else people would buy them all up to resell them. Being as this deal can be repeated, I can certainly understand this policy.

Eh, I don't think you'd make much money reselling the games. $30 + shipping for them and they'll sell on eBay for $45 - fees = you didn't really make anything.

My friend said he got a DVD as a filler and Rayman for the Wii to work...maybe I am doing something wrong. I'd really like to get Madden and DBZ Tenkaichi 2.

*Edit*
I was doing something wrong. One of the games I had in my cart was on-order. If you pick a Wii game that's in stock, it works!

I think the best deal now is for MX610, it's only about $10 after GCO and rebate.

Looks like the right handed MX 610 is out of stock . Buy button shows up but try to add it to your cart and nothing.

I used the $10 off $30 coupon code at the beginning of last month on 3 separate orders (got free shipping on books, cds, dvds) but they never charged my credit card for any of them. Anyone else have this problem? I'm afraid to call, but don't want to assume they'll never charge me either.

Did the items ship?

yeah, I got all the items and even got the confirmation emails saying that they'd sucessfully charged my card, but nothing ever showed up on my bill. It was actually my debit card so i'm making sure to keep enough of a balance to cover the charges if they ever go through. I even went back and checked that i put in the right number and it was correct. Oh well I guess.

I ordered 3 Nintendo DS lites( 2 black one white ) and another order for 2 games. I just got an email that one of the orders was canceled (the first one).

The email only says

"We regret to inform you that your order #xxxxxxx has been cancelled for your protection. "


Bah

It looks like Google is trying to weezle out of honoring these deals for some people. I bought a boat load of stuff and they suspended my account. I sent them an email back so I'll see what happens. I don't know if they'll try to cancel all my orders or just won't let me make more orders.

Man, I thought I went a bit overboard! How big of a 'boatload' do you have to get for them to suspend your account :Q!
I suspect your activity caused a fraud prevention flag to pop on your account. I'm sure they will straighten in out before long.

Ps - its "weasel" btw - try FF2.0

Don't worry -- it's a fraud flag. GCO will reactivate your account once you confirm with them it's legit.
