ReplayTV Rebate

ReplayTV Rebate 03/11/2003 10:45 AM

Amazon.com - ReplayTV RTV5040 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder $139.94 After Rebate.

"Amazon is selling the ReplayTV RTV5040 40-Hour Digital Video recorder for $239.94 with a $50 rebate (exp. 3/31/03) and another $50 rebate (exp 3/16/03 - copy of UPC). Please Note: Activation of this product requires payment of either a $9.95 monthly service fee or a $250 one-time service activation fee.  More info about activation here. Just $129.94 with a $10 off $75 coupon." [More Stuff 4 Less Bargain Blog]

That means you can get a 40-hour DVR for $390 total. Not bad considering how expensive these machines still are. Another $100 and I think they'll start cutting into the mainstream some. If you've been waiting, perhaps this is a more appealing price point for you?

Hauppage DVR-250 for $90 After Rebate

Hauppage DVR-250 for $90 After Rebate 08/31/2004 09:43 AM

Circuit City has the Hauppage WinTV Personal Video Recorder 250 add-in card for $150, which isn't that hot, but with two mail-in rebates it drops the price to just $90. The PVR-250 is one of the better cards to use when building your own home theater PC, mainly because of the built-in MPEG2 encoder.

Rebate Rip-Offs

Rebate Rip-Offs 03/17/2005 03:08 AM
We all hate those stinkin' Mail-in Rebates! I'd love to see figures on just how many are actually paid to the customer and how many customers get so mad or frustrated that they just chuck the whole rebate form and forget to send it in. Then there's all of us that send in the rebates and get told by a form letter weeks later that our rebate was not properly completed and we will not receive it. Well finally the FTC stepped in and made CompUSA live up to it's rebate promises. According to ARS ..

According to the FTC, between September 2001 and June 2002, CompUSA had promised consumers they would receive rebates totaling anywhere from $3 to $100 within six to eight weeks for both its own products and those from Q.P.S. Instead, the consumers who actually received the rebates were forced to wait up to six months for a check. The problem was compounded when Q.P.S. filed for bankruptcy. A consent order with CompUSA will place limits on the company's rebate program and will limit its advertising on rebates from other companies. CompUSA will be required to fully fund all rebate programs advertised and mail checks within the advertised timeframe. In addition, the retailer is on the hook for the rebates promised by now-bankrupt QPS in the case of consumers who filled out and sent in a valid rebate form. In addition, CompUSA will be required to send rebates to any eligible consumer who contacts them or the FTC within 75 days after the order is served on the company.

Most Outrageous Rebate Offer Ever 02/01/2005 09:07 PM

I stumbled upon this while looking for a deal on TurboTax. I honestly cannot believe they expect customers to spend $300 and then wait 12 weeks for them to send back $270. Then they throw in this little gem:

Note: Some rebates in this Tax Software Bundle are UPGRADE / COMPETITIVE UPGRADE rebates. Please review those rebate coupon for detailed information.

I won't even get into the fact that my Mac doesn't need half the stuff they are offering for "free". What a bargain.

Podwave Speakers Free After Rebate

Podwave Speakers Free After Rebate 02/01/2005 09:08 PM

It looks like someone ordered a few too many Podwave speakers for the iPod, as MacConnection is selling the $30 AA-powered clip-ons with a $30 mail-in rebate. After shipping, you'll end up with a pair of highly-portable $9 speakers. But before you ask me how they sound, I've never heard these in my life. By design alone, the stereo separation would be sub-optimal. And of course, you're free to use them with anything that has an 1/8th-inch jack (if it'll let them sit flush). (Thanks, Jon!)

Update: iPodLounge has a review. These Version 1s sound decent enough, but there is an improved Version 2 on the way.

FTC Cracks Down On CompUSA Over Bogus
Rebate Program

FTC Cracks Down On CompUSA Over Bogus
Rebate Program 03/14/2005 05:27 PM
The rebat e scam used by consumer electronics firms is fairly well known. Basically, the retailers advertise a very low price, but the only way to get it is to pay a much higher price and send away for a rebate (which many people forget to do). However, most of these retailers contract out the rebate programs to firms who have the incentive to figure out ways to deny or delay your rebate. This includes common tactics like denying the rebate for some random reason or waiting until you called to send out the rebate (and then telling you "it just went out yesterday..."). While it's always done by third party firms, it looks like the retailers are finally getting in trouble for the practice. Last year, the state of Ohio crack ed down on Best Buy for rebate failures, and now the FTC and CompUSA have settled charges concerning false rebate info, including delaying payments (promised in six to eight weeks) for many months.
