Yes my price was 189.99. When I was at the last page of payment..It still said 189.99. I thought if we use ebillme that we get $30 off? Does this happen when we actually pay or should it be deducted automatically? Also, no rebate form or word of any rebate was available..so I will just assume to use the one on the front page. Can anybody just inform me how those 2 rebates work? I would really liek to get my $50 of savings...

eBillMe is a rebate.

Btw, the HIS card is now $5 cheaper than the MSI instead of $5 more since its price didn't change.

got a email from eBillMe. My payment processed and they are notifying zzf to process the order.

Where does zzf ship from?

Wow, 4890 prices are getting better every day as ZZF tries to reduce stock, rotating one brand at a time!

I am going to update my original post again, but the thing is to check ZZF daily for whichever card manufacturer is offering the best after-rebate pricing.

All of the manufacturer rebates I have seen on ZZF today expire at the end of this month. Doesn't mean there won't be other rebates in July, though.

The eBillme $30 off $100 promotion expires at the end of this month and that is the one I am not sure will continue.

Bing.com cash back percentages change regularly so that is something worth checking updates for - the current 2.5% is making this deal just that little bit sweeter.

Jesh I thought my MSI was a good deal, this thing just keeps getting better. Ofcourse factory overclock does cost a few bucks more. This card seriously destroys any competition in this price range.

Super freaking HOT

This IS hot, so hot that my snowman avatar is melting! :D

What I really can't believe is that the 4890 is being priced below the 4870s!

Also, for those not interested in the eBillme rebate, you can also order the HIS 4890 from Newegg for the same price as ZZF:

HIS 4890 @ Newegg: $190 - $19 (use code VGASALE10) - $20 MIR = $151 w/ FS

UPDATE: Got a follow-up call from ZZF CS and the MSI OC cards are in stock and shipping. If you show a tracking number on the order you should be fine, you are going to get your card.


Just called ZZF and checked status for the MSI 4890 OC I ordered last Thursday and it is out of stock.

My ZZF order status shows PACKED but they don't have any more cards to send.

I spoke to the Customer Service rep and she agreed to cancel the MSI order.

Since ZZF does not do substitutes I had to place a new order for their current lowest 4890 deal, which is the HIS deal described in the previous update, and saved myself $18. :laugh:

Hopefully this goes through as it seems these deals are doing the job of clearing inventory fast

Interesting. I show my order as packed with a tracking #. I placed my order yesterday and shows it will be delivered next Tues to 39211.

The CS that I spoke to earlier today called back from California a couple of minutes ago and said that they actually had the MSI card and it was being shipped out today.

I now show a tracking number on the ZZF site for the MSI as well as having a note that the replacement HIS order is cancelled so I think I am good to go for the original order.

If you show a tracking number on the order you should be fine, you are going to get your card.

As an accommodation for my having to go to my online bank account to cancel my pending eBillme payment for the HIS card I was offered an $18 store credit for the pricing differential between the two cards. So, in effect, I am getting the MSI for the current better HIS price.

The same CS said that the HIS card was in with less than 100 units showing available. It would be great if these vendors had real-time inventory availability to their customers.
