BestBuy Netgear 802.11g Router and Wireless USB Adapter for $16.01 AR

[Skyhack]

Here's the bundle on their website...

But, I bought it Sunday at the local B&M (Naperville, Illinois), and it came out like this...

Wireless Adapter $31.99 after $10 off...

Wireless Router $19.99 after $10 off...

total = $51.98 With tax $56.01

Two rebate receipts for $20 each (one for the wireless adapter by itself, and one for the bundle)...

Set it up in 20 minutes...Works great...

Where did you get the $10 off the adapter and router? Is that a coupon?

On the website it says $29.88 total, if you buy the bundle, and after you get the $40 mail in rebate (2x$20)

did anyone buy this deal and send rebates?
both USB adapter rebate and bundle rebate are asking for orignal upc bar code. anyone know how to do it?
Thank you

 

[Skyhack]

I sent both in the same envelope and put both rebate numbers on the front. If you look at the rebate receipts, they were both going to the same place.

One rebate seems to be for the USB and one for the ROUTER - each one I put the corresponding UPC in and sent in 2 seperate envelopes because they were 2 different offer numbers..

Wish me luck!

Update: I checked Netgear rebates and saw that one of my rebates had been refused. I called 1-888-214-9109 and asked them why...The reason given was that I mailed both rebate forms in the same envelope, and when they used the bar code from the first one, it cancelled out the second one...

My rebate receipt explicitly stated that copies of the barcode would not be accepted...I asked the CSR how, physically, I was supposed to get two origial barcodes off of one product and then mail it in two seperate envelopes...He told me they would have accepted a copy...After I told him what my rebate rceipt said, he kept arguing, so I asked for a sup...The sup argued for a bit, too, but when I stated that the mix up was between Netgear and BB, and that if my rebate wasn't honored that I would spread the word on Anandtech and other sites that Netgear liked to have promotions but not honor them, he changed his tune...

My 2 $20 rebates are on their way (or so he says)...

Ah, the power of Anandtech...
