I'm guessing someone in Philadelphia already knew this.

Oh the fun things we do for points that amount to about $40 lol. (but they do add up at UR, I do know that!)

My first question... Why didn't I order 30 copies? And could/should I do more in a few days?

My second question... what shall I do with the software? Could I resell it on like ebay? Or should I just gift it to people or schools who need a year of virus protection?

The rebate is limited to 10 per name/address/household so, buying any more wouldn't get you reimbursed.

In my opinion you are better of gifting/donating, you could try reselling but I think way too many people from Fatwallet and slickdeals do that causing resale value to be virtually 0. Plus you'd be breaking the terms of the rebate by reselling ;-)

yup, went back and read terms. Saw that too. But I just thot I would ask here anyway in case people had new ideas. We will probably give these to the schools our kids are in, as they may enjoy the software!

This is a problem? Just sounds more like a challenge. Time to help support your local post office?

Just an FYI - when I went through ebates, the "Add to Cart" button wouldn't show up for this item. WN portal worked fine, though.

I have some hefty insurance charges coming due to NCIP. They do not accept credit cards and I need some spend. Is there a third party payment service where I can pay with cc and they pay with check?

If I go through the AA shopping portal (currently offer 2 miles/$ on staples) and use my AA card (1 mile/$), can I double dip and get 450*2 + 450 = 1350 miles?

You sure can, but it's better to use a card that gets 5x at office supply stores (chase ink, amex simplycash biz) and then go through ultimate rewards mall for the 4x as well
