ooooh yeah..itsa CW-099D in my Khypermedia box..a big + that is.. grabbed 2 of those optical mice as well

dang it...the booklet they gave me has none of these rebates!!

looks like i'll have to download all of them online

 

[Growltiger]

They gave out a 8.5 x 11" sheet with all of the Thanksgiving rebates on it. A pdf is just as good though b.c. less paper to keep up with.
For those that got the CDRW - have you flashed the drive to the latest firmware? Mine came with 120M and based on cdinfo, there is a new 140M.

EDIT: Here is another review (CDrlabs). It doesn't seem like a bad drive at all, especially for the price

 

[Pilsnerpete]

so is $70 AR for the 120gb WDSE a good deal?

Well, it certainly isn't "hot." It's more than $0.50/GB and I'm sure more drives (which can be ordered online) will be offered in the next few weeks. That way, you can use a coupon and drop the price down. There are a couple of threads with old/expired HD deals that show what deals will possibly be available.

i bought some products that had BOTH an OM rebate and a manufacturer's rebate...

however, they only gave one rebate receipt...

do you know if i need to get another receipt? or can i just use a copy for the OM rebate?

Copies go to the OM rebate and originals go to the manufacturer

well I just got back with my free kingston 256meg ddr stick. If this helps any the only thing on the chips is 32x8 DDR-7-T. All the stickers say pc2100 but is there any way to tell if its the better stuff by those? I'd just clock it at 166mhz to find out but my board doesn't go that high yet .

the -7 implies pc2100 and no better.

crap, i jsut spoke to customer care....they say that OM will accept a copy of the UPC if there is a corresponding manufacturers rebate, but they say that i still have to submit an ORIGINAL rebate receipt. tehy say i have to go back to the store and have them print out another one.

Really? I'd probably call the store and talk the manager before making the trip back.

OM has a few items linked from their homepage, notibly the Khypermedia CDRW drive is FAR online. The memory wasn't showing the instant rebate though and I couldn't find the $30 off WITH a rebate either, i'm apathetic about it at this point in the day.

Their 'site has been really flaky today, I received my order confirmation email before the website even showed a completed order.. it's still hung on "processing your order" page.... never did get past that page, kept having to refresh the whole time after several minutes wait.

LOL! I went back to their homepage to get a link for the CDRW drive, and POOF, it vanished... maybe on the 'site still, try Ordering by Item Number 20326452

I F-ing love this. At the top part of that page, under option number 2, it says: "Click the button below for a complete listing of these offers. To receive this exclusive pricing at our stores, you must print this list and present it when checking out." Gee, that seems kind of strange thing to do. Why would I do that, if, as OfficeMax's (and Staples' too, to be fair), salesdroids' have repeatedly told me, "OfficeMax and officemax.com are not the same store". I have half a mind to print those pages out, and then pick out those items, put them in a cart, take them to the checkout, and then just as they are in the process of ringing things up, show them the printout of the ads, and then tell them that "I'm sorry, I guess I must have been confused. I forgot that OfficeMax and officemax.com were seperate stores. I guess I can't buy these items here, for these prices." And then just walk out, leaving the items at the check-out counter. To really get their goat, include a few high-priced, non-sale items in your check-out pile. Time to show these retailers than bullsh1t is NOT ACCEPTABLE to the consumer. It's time to fight back. They want to decieve and mislead, and manipulate you, into coming into their stores? Let's give them a taste of their own medicine.

God help the employee that waits on you.

lol god dont ever make complaints bout corporate decisions to store employees, it isnt fun for them and gets no where anyhow.

Any further word on this? All but one of the items I bought as part of this sale have two rebates, yet I only got one rebate receipt per item. Do I really have to go back to the store to get another set of rebate receipts? (I'm worried that they're simply going to tell me they have abslutely no way to print receipt for yesterday's sale)

I always send copies of receipt and UPCs to OfficeMax, never have any problem; however, I do put a note stating two rebates issues. One problem I ever had was postmark too late.

 

[dodo]

Anyone bought FAR 100 pack Slim Jewel Case? I just noticed that I paid $19.99 for it instead of $8. The 11.99IR is not shown up for me. Anyone has the same problem? The case's brand is Value Disc instead of Khypermedia. Did I take the wrong one? But it was placed among those FAR items on the table.

Thanks a lot,
dodo

 

[AmdEmAll]

I got the 100 pack cd-rs but for the rebate the upc doesn't match up. They are the same brand and everything though. Hope they accept it.

 

[Growltiger]

Just to put some of you at ease:

<PRE><TT>Dear XXXX,
The OfficeMax address will accept a copy of your UPC label as well as
your receipt.

Thank you for choosing OfficeMax.

----------------------------------------------
I purchased the Khypermedia CD-RW during the Thanksgiving sale. I
notice that there are 2 rebate forms for the item - an $8 rebate being
offered by Khypermedia and a $40 being offered by OfficeMax. Both
rebates request the original UPC and receipt. Since I only have one of
each, is it ok to send a copy of the UPC and receipt along with the
OfficeMax rebate form? Thanks for your help!

</TT></PRE>

It's available for online submission through Easierrebates. The link to the form on the OfficeMax website seems to be broken. If you want the hard copy, PM me and I can send it to you.

I read somewhere here at AT that it's a BTS rebadge.

[WillDeStijl]

I'm having a heck of a time finding the manufacturer rebates from Officemax Black Friday deals. The store (Office Max) rebates are all there, but they just link to rebatesHQ, and a search turns up none of the Black Friday deals?

Specifically, I'm looking for these rebates:
GE Universal 8 device remote $15 - 15 MIR = free
Novimax LEather Office Chair $49.99 - 30 MIR = 19.99
Avery 4"x6" Glossy Photo Printer Papr $9.99 - 9.99 MIR = free
iConcepts 11 piece PC tool kit $7 - 7MIR = free

This being my 13th day of my 14 days to postmark some of these, I be panickin'
I've called and fought(always nice at 1st) with several CSR's and finally got faxed(they don't DO email :| ) some copys of a couple rebate forms that look like ASS (because of fax).

 

[JHawk]

Will:

Best I can do.....The "booklet" from OM shows #13 (item#24927) for the remote.

Send to:

OfficeMax Holiday Cash
PO Box 9447
Seattle,WA 98109-0447

Usual drill--receipt, bar code and rebate form(you may have to make your own).

Avery paper can be sent to

Avery Dennison
Data Entry Center
Campaign code 20260
Montrose, CA 91021-0397

Good luck!
