I recently did two PNY rebates, each for $15... this was the deal for mis-packaged 256MB pc-2700 samsung at CC for $20... ahh that was a sweet deal... anyhow enough reminiscing... those PNY rebates were two of the fastest rebates I have done in a while. Maybe PNY rebates used to be slow? Not anymore in my experience so don't let the MIR scare you, but as always YMMV.
