Can I Buy A Second Box at Compusa and get the $150 Rebate?

[ajagwu]

Hi -

I bought my very first Tivo box two weeks ago at CompUSA and I love it. I activated it with the lifetime membership (just in time it seems too). I submitted for the $150 rebate on this box.

The terms of the $150 rebate are a little fuzzy since they say you have to commit to 1 year so I called the 800 number and asked if I signed up for lifetime would I still get the rebate. They said yes. Ok, so I am fine with the first box.

Now I want to add a second box to my account but not sure how to go about it the most economical way.

The rebate form states that there is a limit of two per household. So it sounds like I can get two boxes and get rebates on both?

Another term of the rebate is that a minimum one year service commitment is required. That is fine, but can I commit to one year of $6.95/month since it's my second box?

Another one of the fine print items is "Valid on new service contracts only." So if there is a limit of two on the rebate but it's good for new service contracts only how do you interpret what they means?

Thanks for your help!

You are doing it the right way. Yes, you can get two rebates. And each box has its own service contract, so getting a second box is good for another rebate. The one-year commitment is required for all new contracts now, so you are good there too -- the $6.95 MSD counts just like any other contract.

I don't know what the CompUSA prices are these days, but Best Buy has 80-hour boxes for $69.99 after rebate and 40-hour boxes for $19.99 after rebate.

Any way you slice it, it's a pretty good deal. Welcome to the tivolution.

Thanks for the quick reply. Starting tomorrow (3/19) at CompUSA the sale for an 80hour series 2 is:

$219.99-$20 instant savings-$20 Compusa ebate-$150 Tivo Rebate=$29.99.

This is the same deal they had a few weeks ago when I got the first one. I figure I should go for it again since I love it and now everybody else in the house wants a box.
