And I thought this GeForce 6800 was an unmatchable deal when I got it for the same price on Black Friday at CompUSA.

This is the same deal that ran during Black Friday weekend. The good news is that the rebate already arrived, and in less than 4 weeks. The bad news is that I was sent only $10 instead of $30.

I called PNY and the service rep. stated that the promotion was for “up to $30,” but my rebate form clearly said “Rebate Amount: $30”.

After a VERY long conversation with her supervisor, I’ll have to resubmit via FAX to get the additional $20 that I’m owed. They promised to have the new status posted on their web site with 48 hours of receiving the FAX. If you took advantage of this offer either time around, keep your eye on your rebate. I have a hard time believing that this screw-up is unintentional.
