I haven't seen mine yet, but it's good to hear someone has. That's pretty quick really, most rebates for me show up long after I've forgotten about them or given up. I could use that money too!

Mine was actually a check from Western Digital (guess it was a mfg. rebate, not OM).

I am at work now, when I get home I will track down receipt/photocopies of what I sent in to them. I usually send in the rebates within 3 days of purchasing the item. I make photocopies of everything, and when I receive check, I photocopy that also. When I have some spare time, I go back and match the check copies with the photocopies and then trash them (recycle I mean, you all recycle right?!!). This was a full size check from Western Digital. I have a photocopy of the check here, I remembered this deal so quickly because Microcenter had WD drives for 20% off. I was able to get OM to pricematch this to Microcenten for 159.99 and my cost after rebate was $80.00.:D

I will post date later tonight (before I get too sloshed!!!)

Mailed mine 1-21-02, so it should be due about 4-15-02. If it comes earlier all the better, but I made copies of everything anyhow.

Gee, were there 2 different promotion periods? My receipt shows I purchased the drive on 12/20/01. I would have mailed the rebate on or around 12/23. I do remember that OM had this deal a couple of times. I am confused because of Tacoma99 saying he mailed his on 1/21/02. According to my rebate form copy, that is clearly outside of the time frame you were allowed to mail it in. The original post by gopunk references a purchase period im mid December. Wolfram, was yours purchased during a January promotion? If so, you have awhile to go yet. The turn around on the mid December promotion is turning out to be 60 days, give or take. Just to clarify, I have received my $80 check for the rebate that was good between 12/16 and 12/22.

Yeh, there were two deals like that now that you mention it. Mine was for about the third week of January or so. Looks like you are about a month ahead of those that got in on the second deal. Got a while to wait.

Actually, I think I pricematched during the second promotion. There is another 80 gig hard drive around here somewhere!!! Mybasement looks like an electronics store with all of the hot deals I have recently acquired (plus I have five working rigs!!)
