My original post below described how to save $50 on a Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB Hard Drive using a combined rebate with either CA 2009 Antivirus or CA Backup & Migration for Home & Office 2009. Either software is a FAR purchase at TigerDirect as an upgrade from many AntiVirus or Internet Security programs. With this CA purchase you qualify for "up" to $50.00 the purchase of any Hard Disk costing more than $50.00 at TigerDirect. Some comments in this listing have raised concern over the wording "up" to in the hard disk rebate - I personally do not share this concern. The Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB Hard Drive is now sold out - the power of FW! - But this deal can be applied to many other Hard Drives sold at TigerDirect.
(1) To better reflect the benefit of this deal, I will try to update the title from
"Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB Hard Drive – $45.46 AR/Live.com at TigerDirect.com"
to
"$50 off Any Hard Drive >$50 w/Combined CA Purchase at TigerDirect.com"
I hope this change in title doesn't cause too much confusion.
(2) I will also try to get this listing off the "expired deals" forum since it is still good for many other hard drives.
CA Rebate 1: Offer 09-79692 is a $30.00 upgrade Rebate for CA Backup & Migration for Home & Office 2009 making the software free. Rebate is only valid at TigerDirect, Global Computer or CompUSA.
CA Rebate 2: Offer 08-30301 is “up” to a $50.00 rebate with a combined purchase of CA Backup & Migration for Home & Office 2009 (1User) and a hard disk. I believe that as long as the purchase price of the hard disk is greater than $50.00, you will get the full amount of the rebate.
Use Live.com and get an additional 5% discount off the purchase price of both items.
Net Cost Summary:
CA Backup & Migration for Home & Office 2009 (1User) - $29.98 Plus: Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB Hard Drive - $99.99 Plus: Shipping - $1.99 Total = $131.96 Less: CA Rebate 1 - $30.00 Less: CA Rebate 2 - $50.00 Less: Live.com Rebate - $6.50 Net Cost After Rebates = $45.46
Valid proof of purchase of competitor’s product is a CD Diskette AND title page of manual; or, for previously downloaded purchases, include the confirmation email or invoice. It's too good of a deal to offer the full $50 for just a hard drive purchase. It's probably gonna be $10.

Someone could call the rebate house to make sure. And, yes, these are CA rebates, not TD.

I did call...they said as long as the hard disk is greater than $50, you will get the full rebate. Take that for what it is worth from a telephone representative.

Why no green? Ya I see the rebates, but isn't it something most of FW'ers are good at doing them right. How are CA rebates? Anyone w/ an experience?
KaErF said: Just so you guys know, you can use any hard drive above 50 bucks for this one, doesn't have to be the 1TB green..Good point, and it appears you can buy them on separate receipts or stores. Maybe there are some other hard drives with rebates, so you can double dip per se.

Just called the rebate center. They have to be on the same receipt. With this software, you only get $15.

Hard drive rebate says "at Participating Retailers" - but I can't find a list of who is participating. Any Ideas?

I am sure the rebate is not as much as you wrote. It does offer upto $50. I used 08-30301 for CA Antivirus Plus which cost $30 and the rebate is $15. For CA Internet Security Plus 5-user (cost $80) it is indeed $50. No problem with the rebate other than having to contact CA to validate the initial rejection which they frequently do. But contacting them online usually results in a validation. I have received some of my rebates sent in Mar 30, this past week April 30.
The upgrade rebate 09-79692 looks like this indeed will be for $30, since it is for this software specifically.
FYI, i called and recorded the conversation with the sales rep @800-318-796 who said that "TigerDirect is an authorized retailer" and that "as long as the price of the HDD is above $50, then I will get the full $50". Once i get around to pulling the recording off the phone, i can post it if/when a problem arises.

do you need to have a prior backup software to do the $30 upgrade? this is not a common software to have... besides, what are the qualify competitive softwares? doens't look too appealing without that $30 rebate...
pepisito said: do you need to have a prior backup software to do the $30 upgrade? this is not a common software to have... besides, what are the qualify competitive softwares? doens't look too appealing without that $30 rebate...
No. Antivirus or Internet Security program from Norton, McAfee, CA, etc...qualifies.

First of all, "SethVanV" Great Post!
Secondly, Are you positive on the highlighted part? If so, I am in for one.
Also, one other thing, how would I get the live.com rebate? I am a bit new at this. Many Thanks!!!
Becareful on $30 Rebate. Here is the statement on the rebate form:
In order to qualify for the $30 CA Backup and Migration 2009, proof of purchase of CA Backup and Migration 2009, and proof of previous purchase of a competitor’s security product.

What's the big deal with that? That doesn't strike me as different than the requirement on any other competitive upgrade requirement that's ever existed on anti-virus, etc. software.

In response to Guapo: I think he was misquoted. CA doesn't hold their csr to misquotes. The rebate form says the rebate 08-30301 will not exceed the purchase price, which is $30. The price of the hard drive doesn't matter. They wouldn't tell me how much on the CA Antivirus Plus rebate (08-30301 which can be used for a number of CA software with varying rebates but only can be used once), and after submission it posted $15. Take your chances if you will. But beware you will most likely only get $15 not $50!!
