This is a combo-deal that involves two CA rebates. CA Internet Security 3-User at Staples.com (711537) right now is $39.99 - $40 Printer/AIO/Copier/Fax/Shredder-Attach rebate - $30 Staples rebate. The valid dates for the $30 rebate (07-75283) are 9/1/07 - 9/30/08, so you might have already done it. The combo rebate is only valid at Staples.com

Examples:
HP 5610 Flatbed AIO $69.99
CA IS 3U $39.99
====
-25 coupon (1.99)
-20 HP SER 08-35667
-30 CA 07-75283
-40 CA 08-38201
+6% tax

FINAL COST: 2.06 AR

Also, the qualifying items need not be purchased on the same receipt in order to obtain the combo-rebate, just within the valid dates (9/5-9/30). The Instant-Savings on CA IS does end on Saturday. If you already bought a printer or shredder from 9/5 (from Staples.com), or you are going to, you can do this in two different orders! Here's an example...get a free Brother 3360C + Brother PT1280 + make $$, by buying the printer in one order and the CA+Brother PT1280 in the other, both with a $25 off $75. Final cost: -12.85 AR (Or 17.15 If you already did the $30 rebate) using the scenario outlined below:

• Order #1
  Brother 3360c Sheetfed AIO $89.99 (or any Printer/AIO/Copier/Fax/Shredder from 9/5-9/30)
  ====
  -25 off 75 coupon (2.49)

• Order #2 (place by 9/13)
  CA IS 3U $39.99
  Brother PT1280 Labeler $39.99 (order first, call CS for price adjustment to B&M tommorow)
  ====
  -25 off 75 coupon (2.49)*
  -50 Brother SER 08-35662
  -25 Brother 1280 SER 08-35961
  -30 CA 07-75283
  -40 CA 08-38201
  +6% tax

Deal cannot be had without an upgrade rebate, right? Thanks.

From the T's and C's: Rebate value will not exceed purchase price. Does that mean the software price? Will they connect the dots on the two different rebates? If yes, this is COLD.

From what I can tell, everything looks like it would fly...thanks OP

If yes, this is COLD.That has never happened with CA rebates before.I thought that CA started seriously cracking down on submissions of different rebates for the same purchase that exceeded the purchase price several months ago. Not true?

Note also: the HP 5610 Printer will be 59.99 next week, so if you order it online you should be able to get an addtitional. PM of $10 + tax next week.hmm, now this is getting interesting

Doesn't Staples do a return and rebuy instead of PM?not in my experiences. especially not online.

Ok I was in a hurry. It was well over $100. I purchased the $25 off $100 as OP mentioned. Worked Great. Pre-submitted all the rebates.

This is worth taking the risk. I've made $70 off CA last year around this same time frame. It had the same clause of rebates cannot increase purchase price. But I got everything.

Word of caution - The rebate will most probably be denied initially saying email confirmation missing, but this will be fixed with one phone call.

you can use the $30 off $150 for the Brother option!

How are you getting to $150 with the Brother option?
