Hey guys, EqualFooting not only is giving the $50 on $100 rebates, they also rebate ground shipping and will do a 110% pricmatch! And they DO actually send the checks (I got the Logitech cordless keyboard free when they did their original $50 rebate on a $50 purchase...got three checks, one for the $50, one for the shipping costs and one for a pricematch.) Combining those can make for some pretty nice buys; here are some things I saw today:

Here's the link for $50 back on a $100 purchase (new users!)

but how long does it take to get your rebate checks? most rebates are like 8-10 weeks, and thats just rediculous.

I got my $50 rebate from them about 3 weeks after I ordered and the checks for the shipping and the pricematch both came in during the following week. I think Apex got in on the same deal and he has said that he got his checks within 4 weeks too.

They may have screwed up with their initial response to the mispriced ram a couple weeks ago, but they did try to make good by giving everyone who ordered an extra $25 off $50. I had two conversations with their CS dept. when I ordered the keyboard, one just to check that everything was in good shape for the $50 and the other to give them pricematch info, and both times they were really helpful and efficient. I even commented to them what a difference it was dealing with their CS dept. versus someone like Staples (who is one of their suppliers.)

Oh yeah, one other thing - If I remember correctly, when registering with them you're asked for a company name. Whatever name you put in that field is the name that checks will be cut to, so if you want them cut to you personally you have to fill in the Company Name field with your own name.
