Very reliable. I've spent over $400 in rebates there and never had a single rebate rejected. Sometimes it takes a while, but they always come through.

I've seen all sorts of complaints about OM rebates recently. Really slow, plenty of falsely invalidated rebates, etc. They'll eventually come through, but they're not like Staples rebates.

time to use the coupon in mail. (like $10 off $40).
Stay away from Sakar/iconcept and Khypermedia
(two of the most rejected rebate)

Cool, I could always use some free CDs and jewel cases.

Wow, over 1 hr apart and a double post... though i'd seen everything...

The WD 250GB is on 'sale' 2/22 - 2/28 and has at least a $50 WD rebate.

With all the hard drive deals, I can't imagine it being >$90 AR. Pure speculation.

Thanks for the post!

Still waiting for a good or highly recommended DVD +-R/RW from OM. I have two friends who've bought the BTC clone by MicroAdvantage. Copies ok with dvdxcopy I've been told.

I'm just speaking from my experience. I've sent in at least 5 Sakar/Iconcepts rebates (e.g. mouse pad, CF readers, surge protectors) and all came within the time specified on the rebate. I've also sent in 3 for Khypermedia (all CD-RW drives). Khypermedia and Sakar are likely the most denied because of the limited time frame customers have to send in the rebate. Sakar can also be very specific in what they want (they definitely want an original receipt) and you've got to carefully read the form because they can get a little tricky with all the rebate jargon.

I think with rebates, for every positive experience someone has, there is always a negative. I feel it's all a bit skewed in one direction because more people will post about their denied rebate/bad experience than those who had it fulfilled without any problems. I'm neither denying nor discrediting people that have had trouble with OM rebates (or any of the other companies mentioned), but I just want to make it clear that some of us are capable of getting the rebates with minimal effort.

They won't be FAR until the IR is applied...which will happen on 2/15.

is it actually ok to buy both? or do they limit one pack of CD-R (regardless of their brand) to one person per rebate?

 

[frankqfrank]

Normally, I'd say it's your pick for ONE of the CDr packages; however, the supplemental rebate form a few posts up shows that each CDr pack has its own rebate. Someone over at FW mentioned this and they're going to buy all three. Personally, I don't need 300 CDrs and I don't want to throw away $40 on rejected rebates.

[Richb]

Thanks

 

[cliftonite]

I already have too many of those things

Damnit!! They pulled the Micro Advantage drive when I was looking for the rebates. Oh well.. It's a suck drive anyway.

What are you talking about? Both of the drives appear online.

EDIT: Ok, now I see. I can add it to the cart but I get an INTERNAL ERROR when I try to start checkout. I hate their website - by far the worst of all the office stores.
