I just received word of a pretty cool deal that will happen between November 28th and December 1st.
Apparently you can go to Newegg.com or TigerDirect.com and purchase any of their pre-selected (they select good components for these) AMD GAME! upgrade kits at a value of $400 (or more) and you will receive $500 worth of Gasoline vouchers. That means you are in the green $100 when all is said and done. Pretty sweet.
There will only be 900 available (total) so make sure your Newegg and TD accounts are logged in on November 27th to make sure you can jump on it before they're all gone. If you were looking for a comp upgrade then you might as well get some gas money out of it as well, right?
Cheers,
-s
PS: AMD GAME! upgrade kits will probably consist of AMD processors/motherboards/video cards. I suspect there will be like combo packages with motherboard+processors or motherboard+graphics... something like how Newegg usually offers bundle pacakges.
PSS: This is totally worth it if you find a package of the motherboard+graphics as long as you get a motherboard that is compatible with AM3 (most of the better motherboards are). AMD will launch Phenom II at the end of December and they are pretty dang fast and great value for money. Processor + motherboard + video card = good performance, low price platform
AMD Game Bundle! Purchase select AMD Game Bundle (AMD Phenom 9950, AMD 790GX chipset, Radeon HD 4870 Graphics) and receive a FREE $500 Gas Voucher! $500 Gas Card w/purchase 11/29 - 12/1/08
DO a whois on "gasolineredemptioncenter.com". This website just creates. The Gas Voucher maybe a SCAM. Make sure to read post by tamagator before jumping in!!!

only the Mwave promo talks about what exactly you need to buy and that $500 vouchers, td and Newegg didn't mention anything...looks like a really nice deal in times like this economical crisis
I got sucked into this gas voucher thing buying something else and boy am I pissed...its such a pain...I beleive what you will get is 5 $100 vouchers...with each voucher you go online and register it and you can only do one per month per household. Once you register the voucher you have to pick ONE gas station to go to and each month you have to mail in $100 worth of receipts from that gas station and in a few weeks they will send you a $25 gas card to use at that gas station (if you don't spend the $100 at that one station you lose your chance to get your $25 back)...so in a nutshell, in order to get your $500 in gas it will take you almost 2 yrs and $2000 spent on gas!!! (you have to spend $100 each month to get $25 back so it takes 4 months just to get $100 back...they make it so you can only register one voucher at a time) Heres the website I was directed to when I fell for this ridiculous deal... http://www.gasolineredemption.com/

Thanks for the warning. Will not consider such "deals".

Uh you mean like Tweeter who suckered many customers with this same gas voucher scam knowing Tweeter was going to file bankruptcy and would not be around for their customers to fulfill their promise.
Do you have to spend 100 every month, I have a Prius I fill up about once or twice a month, spending at worst 50 bucks, I do not come anywhere close to 100 bucks in a month. This deal seems pretty bad, I wish it was just a $500 gift card to shell or conoco.
