That's insane. I wonder how many of them will be honored.
good luck

dks123 said:Well, if you are a seasoned FWer, you would have baught most of these softwares either during BF or tax deals or in some other deal as filler. Most of these rebates are with same offer numbers effective rom Sep. 2006, so you have to be careful that you have not used up these rebates before. Unofficially Norton has upgrade limit of 3 for each s/w. I am not sure about PC. Mcafee has limit of one upgrade per offer number.

Good point. I'll add this warning to the wiki. People have to be sure they have not used the same rebate offer# before. Or use a different address if they already have.

This must be a record as far as sheer number of rebates on a deal

WTG, OP!

WTH, I'm a sucker for punishment. IN! ytd rebate total, 2432.xx. Let's push it a bit higher.
Thanks, OP!!

Outstanding deal with a lot of work, OP. Does anyone think this will all be available tomorrow at Staples.com, or is it instore only?

EDIT: Looks like you could add Norton 360 to the list, which costs $79.99 and has $20 ER, $40 upgrade, and $40 w/PC rebates to get another $20 (-tax) back.

as far as i can tell, this is good online or B&M, right?
So I can do all of this in he comfort of my jammies tomorrow morning?

Green for OP. I bow down to your brilliance. Just did the math for California and with 8.25% Los Angeles CA sales tax, it would total something like this:

Laptop $479.98 + $39.60 tax = $519.58
AVirus $459.93 + $37.94 tax = $497.87
--------------------------------------
Total before rebates $1017.45
Minus Rebates -$ 725.00
-----------
Final CA total after rebates $ 292.45

No matter how you slice it, even with credit card interest for 3-4 months (max time for most rebates to arrive), this is still a great deal for a dual core laptop with 1gb ram, dvd burner, 80gb hard drive, Nvidia 6150 ("BEST" integrated laptop graphics) and 15.4 WXGA(1280x800) display IF you can wait out the rebate period and keep records of all rebates for any necessary follow up. Follow up will likely be inevitable with this many rebates.

innnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

(i still dont understand the "upgrade software" ones...if anyone has any insight on the proof..please tell)

I've never done it but I believe they are saying you can use the MCafee for upgrade for the Norton and Norton for upgrade for the MCafee.

MAKE IT FREE if you haven't done CA rebates before
All rebates can be presubmitted at CA rebate center except the first one (presubmit at RebatesHQ)
