Sounds like a good deal. But I dont know if i can get in on it. i just bought a 40gig maxtor using the equalfooting deal, but the bastards shipped me an OEM drive supplied by Blue Nova Computing instead of the staples retail drive that i had really ordered. will this still work?

 

[Redline]

Sweet deal, just bought it for $32.73(price includes tax & Free shipping!)Thanks for the heads up.

 

[wjones]

I think you have to purchase the HDD and controller card TOGETHER, which both items in ONE receipt. Correct me if I'm wrong.
IF you read the rebate form carefully, it stated 'receipt', NOT 'receipts'

From the FAQ seen on the rebate link:

Do I have to purchase both products on the same day?

No. However, both products must be purchased with in the dates of the
promotion. And a copy of both receipts is required.

Do I have to purchase both products at the same store?

No. However, both products must be purchased with in the dates of the
promotion. And a copy of both receipts is required.

What are those "dates"?

 

[Raybies]

Check this Maxtor Rebate FAQ, it says the following:

--
Do I have to purchase both products on the same day?

No. However, both products must be purchased with in the dates of the promotion. And a copy of both receipts is required.

Do I have to purchase both products at the same store?

No. However, both products must be purchased with in the dates of the promotion. And a copy of both receipts is required.

So it appears you can buy them separately and still do the rebate!

 

[Schmo]

Right, you don't have to purchase them together. As long as both are purchased within the correct time frame. The coupon also states 40GB OR above so a 40GB drive will work.

 

[wjones]

Great! Thanks for the info. I might get one

 

[wonder mike]

damn staples in my area is sold out

 

[Murpheeee]

You guys should price match Onvia for $41.58 then you get to spend a little extra at Staples making it up to the $50

They'll be going out of stock on paper clips next

 

[stonythug]

stupid staples I did this and they sent me a stupid maxtor firewire pci adapter card instead. This happened to me the same day staples wouldn't price match the PNY PC100 ram with onvia even though I could get them to admit they were the exact same item. The ATA cards are out of stock at the staples in my area so I'm going to have to drive to a neighboring town to get the right card. If I wasn't making $20, I might be really upset

 

[RuinSnake]

There's another rebate with maxtor that's available on Staples.com. It is for a 30+ gig HD and ATA100 card purchase. I was wonderin' if the same conditions apply to that rebate. (ie. can be purchased separately)

 

[drac747]

Anyone know if there is currently a valid $20 off $50+ coupon?

I checked techb@rgains and they don't have one.

 

[TCool]

I doubt you could get staples to price match this deal, as that would put it under the $50 needed to use the $20 staples coupon.

 

[GQUnknown]

good deal

 

[yy3d]

Does this Maxtor ATA card work on IBM ATA100 harddrive?

 

[tailhook]

maxtor card is the same as a promise ultra 100

 

[Chatterjee]

there aren't any $20.00 coupons out there right now...

-S

 

[HKSturboKID]

I picked up the Maxtor Ultra ata/100 controller card from my local staples and its a promise card. Lucky I get the $50 bux back from the rebate or I'll be super P#ss. I saw the Promise controller card at C@ompgeeks for like $23 bux.

 

[rochlin]

I've found Staples is pretty much out of stock on the Maxtor ATA 100 PCI card - but Onvia has it:
Onvia Maxtor ATA 100 PCI card retail

$41.58

If you apply the Maxtor $50 rebate you're making money (Onvia - free shipping, no CA - and most other places - tax)

So you're still making $ and no Onvia coupon req'd.

 

[Schmo]

And you can sell the card on E*ay for about 30-35 minimum.

the staples near me does NOT allow online codes, they insisted on a piece of paper coupon that they can get their money back from, they did however give me the PM from office depot for $119 ( 40 maxter+zip drive), they couldnt find the date printed on the printout but took it anyway, yea!
