Dell DSL rebate

   Posted by: richard   in Everyday Things

When I signed up for DSL, there was an offer for a $100 mail in rebate. Sweet deal, I thought.

But now I am beginning to be suspicious. The weekend before last, which was about six weeks after I sent in the rebate form and necessary paperwork, I checked the status of the rebate online, and it wasn’t in the system. Hmm, I thought. That’s not good.

So I called. They didn’t have my information, and asked me to fax it in. I did that last Monday, the first. I called again today to check on the status, and it still isn’t entered into the system. The guy I spoke with today said it takes up to ten business days for information to be entered into the system. That would be tomorrow, if Saturday doesn’t count as a business day (even though they’re there, working on Saturday). We’ll see how it goes.

gap gimmick

   Posted by: richard   in Everyday Things

So we did a bit of shopping yesterday, and The Gap had a little gimmick where, if you try on a pair of jeans, you get a free iTunes download. Well, Megan was looking for jeans, so I immediately said, ‘hey, try on a pair here’. Of course, she found some that fit her, and they were practically perfect in every way. So we bought them. They were on sale, but still more than we initially wanted to pay.

But I got my free iTunes download!
