Can somebody help me, please?

I wish to buy a UPS for free after rebate and coupon; however, it doesn't add up...

The UPS are $60 - $10 coupon - $40 rebate = $10.

I haven't found the $10 instant and the store didn't know what I was talking about.

Can somebody provide a link or explanation what I am missing.

Thanks again.

Drat. I want the Sandisk smartmedia card (128MB). However, searching my zip code reveals nothing. Any ideas how I can score this item from staples? Searching for the SKU turns up nothing as well :(

Hey Atwnsw
My local Staples didn't have the UPS on sale in their add either. I went to the website prior to going to the store and did a search under there in store specials link for a store that in an area that did offer the deal. I read in one of the posts that the NY area had it So I went to switchboard. cizom and looked for Macy's in NY and got their zip code. Then on the staples site I searched for that Zip and found the store and viewed their specials and printed out the add pages with the price. I took those to the store and just said I printe these off your site. He searched and finally found that add page at some other area store and went ahead and did a price match on it for me. I bought 2 of em along witht he CDRW drive s I paid 200 got 40 of coupon and will get 130 in rebates back. So including tax I'll spend 39 dollars for 2 UPS's and the writer.

Update on my deal for an NEC MS75 17" monitor and the Cendyne CDRW.
Cendyne OOS NEC 119.99 - $40 coupon (guess they felt bad;)) - $30 rebate + tax =$54.74

Cendyne picked up @ B&M + dozen stick pens -$20 coupon - $50 rebate + tax = $31.68

17" NEC + Cendyne CDRW + dozen pens = $86.42 Whatta country!!!

dang, the modem and speakers are gone from their website. I called and they said that means they're OOS, and they have no idea when they will get more. :(

and there aren't any staples in my town, so I'm SOL I guess. :(

I didn't much care about the modem, but I would love to get those speakers for $10

Copy of my post from the rebate tracking thread for the lazy:

Invalid staples rebate on the 5/19/02 Deals: 128 MB Sandisk Compact flash

rebate info: $20 Rebate on a Sandisk 128MB Smart Media (SKU 480124) OR a Sandisk 128MB Compact Flash Memory Card (SKU 463438)

After checking the status online (I started the rebate online and mailed the rest, so they gave me a tracking code), it said INVALID rebate due to invalid UPC. I took a closer look at the copies that I made, and on the "not an invoice sheet" the SKU # of the Sandisk 128MB Compact Flash Memory Card is listed as 380981 (although this was the EXACT mem card for the rebate). Luckily, I saved the packaging slip for the flash card, and it lists the sku# as 348236, but under "cust sku" it says "463438", the valid sku. It also lists the UPC code that I entered online for it, 619659015213, proof that the UPC i submitted was indeed valid

I called the staples rebate center @ 1-888-856-9210, and after waiting a while (since that's the only way to get to a live customer service guy), the guy said my rebate was invalid, but he later validated it after I told him the above story.

Good luck to everyone with this rebate

Who still have the $40 rebate rebate form for Staples Maxtor 80GB 5400 RPM HD (SKU 443232)? This item has been removed from their online rebate center, and I don't have a hard copy of the form.

Thanks.

anyone know where to get the rebate form for the cendyne? they pulled it off the site (i know it may be too late, says postmark by 26th...but a phone call always fixes simple problems like this). Any help really appreciated thanks.
