Was at the Montgomeryville Mall in Pennsylvania and saw that Tweeter had big advertisements for $500 of gas with the purchase of $999 in merchandise or more. The website doesn't have any advertisement of it, so it may be a local store deal. When you make your purchase they give you the information to redeem your gas cash. Every month you need to submit receipts for gas of $100 and then they will send you a $25 check back for 20 months. A little bit on the time consuming side, but I know FWers will be on top of it. Might be worth checking out if you are already planning a big electronics pruchase. Unfortunately I don't know how wide this deal is or how long it will last.

Isn't Tweeter in the midst of a bankruptcy/liquidation? Maybe I'm wrong but I thought that was announced sometime recently. Kind of a risk if so.

According to one nearby tweeters, they are not in BK. They did seem to close about 49 stores and RIF about 650 employees in March 2007

Anybody know for sure?

Tweeter emerged from Chapter 11 late last summer as a privately held company under entirely new ownership. At the time, it seemed to be a foreboding move; however, in retrospect, they seemingly dealt with the BK pain just before commercial credit all but dried up. They're now much leaner but still my choice for local big ticket electronics purchases. BTW, they tell me the $500 gas card promo is nationwide.

I just got the ad in the mail. It's for all tweeters. Seems like alot of work. Submit $100 in gas receipts a month and receive a $25 gas card each month for 20 months. For more info you can go to tweeter.com/freegas. I have purchased from them in the past when they have a competitive price and have always found them to have good CS.

I will say I've had good luck with their customer service. I bought a plasma from them 2 years ago (for once they were competitivly priced). I had it for 3 months and my 2 year threw something at the screen. It didn't crack, but it put 3 tiny little chips. You couldn't really see them, but I knew they were there and it bugged the heck out of me. I went into the store and was talking to the saleman about it. I told him what happened and he's like

Catch with the gas rebate is you have to commit to using one gas company, can only use one receipt per day, if you don't use $100 in a month you lose the $25 rebate for that month, you have to mail in the reciepts and voucher 20 times, and there is a $5 fee, refunded with the final voucher. Alot of work but if you are buying $100 of gas per month at the same gas station chain every time it can be worth it.

I've yet to see one of these gas rebate schemes that is not a scam. I have a fraud complaint pending with Consumer Affairs (Florida Department of Agriculture) for the last one. Buyer be ULTRA beware. Not OP's fault, but this is a scam.
