bluesky, thanks for the info.

Now that Amex BVG is gone I'm going to cancel my Blue and give Citi Click card a try.

amex blue is still a good card. That return protection rocks. It let's you return stuff 90 days after you buy it and you get your money back.

man, it's hard getting anyone to talk about the drive...everybody in here seems very focused on the CC PM policies.

damn, I just got a "we are indefinitely out of stock, so now you get to dangle on a thread for the next 30 days waiting" email. Rebate says it must be postmarked within 14 days of purcase......I will keep a close eye on this situation!!

Just got my drive today! I was concerned that they may be pulling the same BS they pulled on me last time I ordered from them (i.e., sending the wrong drive, then sending the correct drive AFTER the rebate window...then....)..but all is well. Just need to file the AMEX BVG claim.

good luck

Sweet, let us know if you get the PM

 

[PicknGrin]

Thanks..will do.. I phoned in the BVG PM this morning... I guess the stock reply is that "the claim will be processed over the next 2 weeks"...

that's wierd, I've never had to fax my credit card statement. Maybe you gave them the wrong date that it appeared on your statement and when they tried to look it up, they couldn't find it and asked you to provide it? They usually look up my statement while I'm on the phone with them.


Also, it's always taken 8-10 days for my claims to be approved. Now that's service!

 

[KidViciou$]

u know i think thats what it was, but now im pissed at outpost.

i ordered it on the 23rd, they didnt bill me until the 29th so i couldnt get in on the rebate. im about to call up a supervisor and have them put me down for the 110 rebate :|

 

[PicknGrin]

KidVicious - I have learned that "Outpost.com" is spelled I-N-C-O-M-P-E-T-E-N-T.
I had a similar problem when I ordered this drive a month or 2 ago, and they sent me the wrong drive..then when they fixed their error, the receipt they issued me fell outside of the rebate window..and they said they couldn't change that...

yet here I am, ordering again ;-) Well, I already received it, anyhow...

be careful with them

 

[KidViciou$]

i just reordered another one today, i was unable to get in contact with the supervisor today, but rest assured that i will not pay a penny over what i should.

 

[PicknGrin]

Just returned from a short vacation and whoa... my BVG check was in my mailbox!

woohoo

 

[KidViciou$]

I JUST CALLED AND THEY SAID MY CHECK WAS IN THE MAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Deal is alive again at Fry's and Outpost, although, this week you have to pay $10 more at the register and get $10 more when the rebate shows up......I think I'm gonna bite this time....don't need or want 120GB of space (can you imagine how long that'll take to defrag?!?!!?), but with Amex BVG, which is alive and well on my Optima Platinum, I'll get the drive far cheaper than I can get any other.

I've got this drive and I've filled up 90GB on it. Defragging takes about 2-3 hours.

In case anyone is wondering, it's filled with movies, anime, and mp3.

 

[Crank]

Yo, let it run, Dre.......

Well, picked one up today, and I'll prolly keep it, since with BVG it'll be the cheapest HDD around
2-3 hrs to defrag....well, it's worth it...I guess

Anyway, thanks to all who contributed to the deal.

 

[chrisjor]

after reading this thread again, I called Amex.......whaddaya know..my Optima still has BVG!! I am in on the 120 SE. What website printout will you guys be using for BVG? Please link if possible.

Also, the 80 gig SE has a $30 rebate (159 -30 mir), anyone find a good BVG pm for this drive also?

 

[djlevyii]

American Express Business Gold still has the BVG.

Just got my card and I'm ready to CHARGE!!!!
