Exclamation Save up to $550 when buying MacTels in Amazon - 04-20-2006, 11:54 AM



So whaddya know? The Amazon rebates are back!!! Just went to the Amazon site yesterday to file for the last rebate, and lo and behold, new rebates are in place till May 9.

And learning from the last round, the MTC crew created a comprehensive Excel Worksheet detailing all the savings to let you squeeze more value for your dollar.

The Excel worksheet computes:
  • Sales Tax rates for all 50 states, including an option to use the standard or maximum rate. The max rate accounts for additional local sales taxes that may be applied in certain jurisdictions
  • Amazon Visa savings, including signup discount and reward certificates
  • A9 Search Engine discount. You'll now have ample time to use A9 for a few days to qualify for the extra 1.57% discount
  • Total Savings. Price difference between and Amazon and the Apple Store

And its huge!!! In some states, we found savings of up to $550 once all the promos are applied!

UPDATE:
v1.1 - Based on feedback, added mouseover comments and more info on Amazon promos.
v1.2 - Now "Office 2004 for Mac" friendly. Put back mouseover comments that were accidentally removed by Excel while testing between platforms.
v1.3 - Aaarrggghhhh!!!! Got bitten by another cross-platform Excel quirk. A9 discount checkbox was not working on OS X.
