[ETLA]

how long do we get the money back?

 

[saxman]

ETLA, the site says 10-14 weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if it was longer.

not cyberrebate again
i still remember the who wants to be a millionaire deal

 

[amnesiac]

good: I hear they are very good at paying back the rebates
bad: this can't possibly be a very good business model. I'd expect them to go kaput by the end of the quarter.

Bad biz model when you can collect interest on $109 for 10-14 weeks
Sounds like a pretty good biz model to me.

 

[immortalis]

Even Fry's had soundcards for $7.
Cyberrebate's "deals" are icecold.

 

[ksheets]

WOW! SB Pro compatable!!
I GOTTA get in on this one!!

 

[ctaktak]

So is this a good deal or not. I don't know anything about CR.

CyberRebates was reliable for me last year. I ordered two things in September...one they glitched and gave me a refund...I figure it was an instant rebate. The other took 14 and a half weeks. After about nine weeks, you can see online that they have it and are processing it.

However, the stuff they sell is often 400% of what it is other places. Still, if you stick it on a card with 15% intererst, you are only paying shipping (if there is any) and then 4% of the cost in interest for four and a half months. All you are risking is that they may go down. However, after taking in enough business to pay out nearly $57 million in rebates, I doubt they are going anywhere.

By the way, http://www.sparctech.com/newpage2.htm is a site I randomly searched for on the net. They list this card for $24.

Random review on this "entry level" card: http://www.hal-pc.org/journal/oct99/Reviews/audio/audio.html



<< Our special HAL-PC price was right to make this a good deal (Under $20.00 @ time of SharkMM Presentation)! Midi playback was acceptable...

Entry-level Consumer. Good solution for OEM/VAR. Although we prefer predecessor, ?Predator 3D-PCI? (A3D technology), ?Predator 4D-PCI? does the job on a budget. >>

You could use $10 to buy a similar sound card immedateily,
and put the remaining $100 in saving account to earn interest,
and you always have this $100 in your pocket.

Cyberrebate deals are never deals. I bought something from them several months ago and got my checks. The wait was agonizing and I was ready to just forget about getting my rebate back. I don't like them.

 

[JeremyJoe]

dang you tricked me

 

[ptbrulz]

Should we ban ppl from posting more &quot;deals&quot; from Cyberrebates?

 

[ptbrulz]

Taking up bandwidth

OT: I kinda need a new sound card to play Jagged Alliance 2. The onboard one doesn't work with the game. Is the $7 PCI sound card at Fry's any good?

 

[StickHead]

4D????? So it broadcasts the dimension of time through your speakers?

 

[shurato]

stickhead, ROFL... hey so the 4th dimension is time?

 

[robpay]

This cyberrebates thing seems like a Ponzi scheme -- you pay the people of yesterday with the money you get today.

It is bound to go under.

 

[chiwawa626]

10-1000000 weeks, its been 4 months and i got 4 outa 6 rebates back....not worth it...in 4 months i can scheem and make a 100 dollars somewhere.

 

[itsmeeh]

[bashman]

Could someone please lend me $109??? I might get it back to you in 6 months. SUCKERS. What pos sound card.

 

[Ranger X]

This card could be great for playing 4D Boxing. Anyone remember that game? It rocked!
