Yes, Vampyre, you could. But, $1000-(6 months * $15/month fees) + freebie = $910 plus your gift. If you just bought them, you would have $1000-cost of gift = $600 to $750 depending on what you picked, had you paid full price. Still seems like a deal to me. I just pulled up the old thread on this earlier today (don't have the link handy, but found it with a search), because I may try to do it now that I have a bit of cash. Seems like a reasonable investment. Set aside $1000 for 6 months, pay $90 in fees, and in 6 months you have $910 + your gift (Palm VIIx for me).

You sure could - but the bank gives you back your $1,000 after 6 months.
I don't think Staples does that yet.

$1,000 minimum? $5,000? Uh, I don't think so!

Read a little more carefully folks:

Priority Choices GOLD: $25,000 combined balance :Q
Priority Choices PLATINUM: $50,000 combined balance :Q

So, anybody that owns a bank wanna lend me $50,000 so I can do this? :)
