sorry...let me explain a little more.

Here, if you go to that website, you can order gift cert from all these different stores. You purchase them at face value, and at the end of the month, you get a credit of 20% back to your credit card.

They charge something like $14.95 for each month that you use their service, but the first month is free, a trial period. You can order your GCs, wait till they credit you back, and then cancel the membership.

I've done this 3 times, bought $1500 GCs for amazon.com at $1200 final price. You can only buy up to $500/store/month/account.

edit: Actually, this link might work better. The one above doesn't let you sign up there.

there was a huge thread about this on fatwallet a while back.
 
Thanks for the tip HonkeyDonk.
Can you post a list of merchants supported by Galleria123?
I found these on the signup site: Borders®, Circuit City®, Target®, Kmart, Sears, Toys"R"Us®
 
Looks like a decent deal. The specs of 25ms response time aren't the most attractive. After looking at my friends Samsung 19" with the same response time I couldn't see any noticable ghosting of the image, but seeing as how these are the specs given by the manufacturer I wonder if this would compare with the samsung.
 
Review:

If you play games or watch movies on your monitor this is NOT the monitor for you. I bought the Costco version (VL1916). It is identical to the LCD19D (except the 19D has a 3 year warranty instead of 1 for the VL1916). The response time is 25ms which is too slow for gaming and/or video. There is a LOT of ghosting when playing games and enough while watching movies that I found it annoying and had to return the unit.

Be careful when you read reviews of LCD monitors by end users. Most people don't judge them very carefully, they're just impressed by the bright, sharp pictures.

For everyday use (browsing the web, reading email, Word, Excel, etc.) this monitor is fine. It does have bright (very bright) colors and the display is sharp. However I would strongly recommend getting an LCD with a 16ms or lower refresh rate for gaming and/or video.
 
😀 Got mine, about 4 weeks ago.

It is the BEST, for the money.

Paid $290.00, with rebate.

You won't go wrong, with this unit!!!:roll:
