Sux that it has to be Tiger Direct. Description says VGA & DVI. Does it really have both.? Meaning I could have monitor three and four connected to my PC?

 

[fumbduck]

I have this card. Got it from CUSA for $70 something AR.

Yes it does have VGA and DVI and not sure if you can use both though.

tiger direct has the worst service ever.. grrr... deep reminescence of faulty goods...

I hate Tigerdirect.

Uhhh, what was this deal again?
Oh, a Radeon blah blah blah.... good deal, but who really needs 128MB worth of PCI vidcard?

People who have dual monitor setup and want faster/better PCI card for that 2nd monitor.

Does anyone actually receive rebates from Tiger Direct? It seems like all I ever see are people complaining about rejected rebates and waiting forever for rebates that never arrive.

[unclebud]

thinking this is the fastest pci card out right now for under a hundred? yes
me just have had bad experience with visontek rebates... but others HAVEN'T...

I saw a similar deal at Fry's: $89.99 - $40 MIR = $49.99 for the Visiontek Radeon 9100 128MB PCI. There were only 2 on the shelf left yesterday. I wish it were closer to Christmas.

Last week the Visiontek Radeon 9100 128MB AGP was on clearance for $79.90 - $40 MIR = $39.90. I didn't see any more of those left.

nevermind

is tigerdirect THAT bad?

Sorry for bumping this when it belongs in a brag and moan or rebate tracking but:
Those #%*@ at tigerdirect have pulled another one. I just got my rebate rejection email. It says INVALID UPC LABEL-NOT FROM PRODUCT PACKAGE. I should have known. If you look they are still advertising that there is a rebate and they are also saying; Note: Ships in Promotional Packaging. I sent the only UPC there was on the white box.
I needed a decent pci card with dvi out or I would have passed.
Lowlife jerks.
Again, my apologies for bumping just to moan.
Please feel free to continue to slam all tigerdirect posts.

It's a VisionTek rebate, not a TD rebate. I had the same problem with the same rebate processor with a K-Byte rebate from Fry's (not the usual UPC code printed on the K-Byte label, a UPC sticker printed on a 1" x 15/16" label). When the UPC doesn't look like it came off a can of soup, they will automatically reject it. Call and resubmit it, and it should go through.

Ok my bad, it is a visiontek screw-up. I just don?t understand why rebate suckers like me should have to play this silly game. I always study the rebate directions and make copies of everything. Am I supposed to be the only person who submitted a upc from a white box that doesn?t seem to match their ?profile? upc? Your probably right, I?ll bet if I make a long distance call (New Rochelle area code 914) and sit on hold for who knows how long they will resubmit and I will get my rebate because I made copies;
<begin sarcasm>
Then they will say?Oh, I?m sorry, but you were right, we screwed up. There are several hundred people who sent in the same upc for that product. No wonder. Visiontek failed to tell us to look for this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.?<end sarcasm>
Sorry I?m cranky this morning.
Wouldn?t you like to see someone like 20/20 do an expose on one of these bad offender rebate place?s. Anybody ever known anyone that worked at one of these places? Do they get a bonus for every rejection?

If you had bothered to read the rebate form, there is an 800 number to call: "If you have not received your check within 10 weeks, visit www.wheresmyrebate.com or call 1-800-390-2344." Sorry if I interrupted your whine-fest.

 

[unclebud]

i used to call that number, think it's still on speed dial.
never got my rebate -- and its still in "rebate mailed" status from june 2002...

 

[Delbert]

Your right again pcx. Just because both the rejection letter and the contact link at wheresmyrebate.com fail to mention any toll free number makes it all my fault. I?m sorry you missed my point. I?ll wait several more weeks and then call the 800 number. I'm done whining about this here. We should all take this as an "oh well must have been my fault".
