Upto $162 after instant savings. sound like good overclockers, and in my mind an instant rebate for $35 is better than a rebate for $50. I'll never see the rebate.

Arrgh! I held out for the free shipping per "that other thread" and now the rebate is dead AND the darn code won't work for anything I put in my cart! (yet NE says it's a valid code, but doesn't apply).

Lower latency's work far better w/ AMD64 overclocks for those of you that are interested. I have a set of the 550SU2 that the Egg no longer sells, and running them @ 2.5-3-3-71T 275mhz fell short of running it at 2-2-2-5 1T DDR400. Now I have then running @ DDR444 2-2-2-5 1T on 2.9v :) G.Skill ram rocks, I'll never go back...

But this one doesn't include the MIR, so more than likely they would not credit you for it.

You give them a call today, Ricemarine? I'm a little tempted to call again to get additional credit. They already gave me $3 for the first $2 increase of the instant saving , I wonder if I can get $4 for this $3 increase. Or maybe I should just stop being greedy.

You gotta emphasize the tax you paid. Since they don't reimberse you some change, that's where the extra dollar comes in.

GAH, just went for some Corsair XMS (cas2, PC3200) for same price but with a MIR. I'd rather go for no rebate, plus was interested in some faster stuff as well.

and no there are no free shipping codes, since the MIR ends TODAY.

Just call them and tell them about the 2 dollar change. I ordered them yesterday and saw the instant saving change an hour or so later. I called them this morning and the newegg person said he'll refund me 3 dollars.

haha you are so cheap!! $3.00

Does anyone know what counts as a good sales receipt? The rebate forms says "Handwritten invoices or sales history receipts not accepted as proof of purchase." Soooo will the confirmation email I got from newegg work?

If you go to order history in your newegg account, they should have an invoice for you to print out.
