So on black friday I ordered 200gb which was supposed to be $20 after 2 rebates ($50 and $20) I submitted for both "easy" rebates and now they send me an email telling me to choose from one of the rebates :| Wtf I feel they have lied to me, as the price showed $19.99 (+taxes) after the 2 rebates, and now it will b at least $20 more..

Probably some fine print that says you cant combine offers.
Cancel the order if it bothers you imo.

The deal had only one $50 mail in rebate, but it also applied a $25 instant discount coupon to the checkout. The total (before tax) on your invoice should be $69.98.
Final price = $19.98

Assuming you got the same deal I did, of course.

Yeah thats the one, but the link I had said -20 instant, 20 + 50 rebate (online) looks like in the end it will b $40 (before taxes).
My credit card was charged $103 with taxes.

I bought the same drive on Black Friday at the store and it was $69.98 plus tax. Did you buy it during the hours the Early Specials were in effect? Didn't it say on the product page what the price was?

I ordered mine and its expected to be delivered tomorrow.

It was 94.98 - 25.00 instant coupon + 5.42 tax for a total of 75.40 then a 50 rebate.

I think I missed the instant coupon or something :( I'll try to look @ the order history etc and get this issue fixed..
