Use Fatwallet (www.fatwallet.com) and go through their link to buy your new Premiere and get cashback...sweeten the promotion a bit.

Can you confirm that you see the CB when getting the upgrade discount also?

bradolson · 03-04-2010, 10:33 AM

Or sign up for your own affiliate account with TiVo (if you don't already have one) and get the full commission (I believe it's $75/$100 for the Premiere). Why let FW have half the commission?

wesbc · 03-04-2010, 11:09 AM

And how would a everyday regular joe do that?

Johnwashere · 03-04-2010, 12:38 PM

I just signed up to be an affiliate but I think they instantly declined me

If I could get $75 cash back off tivo premiere I would buy it asap

looks like most people wont quality for the affiliate sign up

this stinks. I guess Il have to go threw fatwallet.

So can you get money back from Fatwallet and get the deal with the upgrade program?

I'm wondering this as well, might tip me over the edge.

I'm on final checkout for purchase and see no indication I would get the $50 Fatwallet Cash from doing an upgrade purchase.

with these cahsback websites you never see anything till after the transaction, it may take as long as a week

Mike-Mike · 03-04-2010, 01:45 PM

i signed up, and i think i got approved, but i'm not sure how it works yet

aaronwt · 03-04-2010, 02:17 PM

If the cashback works with the upgrade, I wonder if I cancel my purchases if I will get the upgrade options again? I know as soon as the order was placed, the upgrade options disappeared.

paladin732 · 03-04-2010, 02:18 PM

You do get the options back (not that I tried or anything....)

Fatwallet has been good to me. I think I've gotten over $500 in cashback from them so far. It will take a few days to a week to post so don't seat it.

I do not see why you wouldn't get the cash back. The cashback is for purchasing the hardware. The service upgrade option is separate.

Hopefully it doesn't take too long. I cancelled one order with two TiVo Premiere XL units but the options have not shown up again for the boxes I purchased them under.

I did the switch and the upgrade option came back immediately after I cancelled.

Two of my boxes finally came up, but I'm still waiting on the other four. But now I have an issue with the creditcard authorizations. I cancelled three orders totaling several thousand and I have to wait for the authorization to fall off before I can make the purchase through Fatwallet.

And just to clarify, is there a limit on the Fatwallet rebates with the TiVo Premiere? If I upgrade all nine of my TiVos, will I get the FatWallet rebate for all of them?

all this is a pain, but if I can get the rebate for all nine boxes that will save me close to $400, plus I can sell three of the Premiere boxes once the monthly plan ends. Keeeping the six Lifetime boxes.

wesbc · 03-04-2010, 08:54 PM

Wow... how much TV do you watch? You question is best answered over at fatwallet, but I believe you should get cash back per tivo purchased.

Bsteenson · 03-05-2010, 03:33 AM

I ordered Premiere with Lifetime through FatWallet then through TiVo. I was able to get the $200 discount on Lifetime, so total price was $498.99 to TiVo. Within an hour or so it was listed in my FatWallet account that I will be getting $45.46 back.

FatWallet is great for stuff you were going to buy anyway, although you do have to wait 3-4 months before you can collect the cash back.

I am still waiting for it to show up in my account. I ordered at about 1:00PM yesterday. Make sure to take a screenshot just in case things don't go through.

The two purchases I did through fatwallet for the 320GB and 1TB version have not shown up in my account.

I clicked through the link from Fatwallet and made the purchase but nothing has shown up since I did it yeaterday afternoon.

innocentfreak · 03-05-2010, 08:00 AM

Make sure you use IE or something that allows pop-ups. It should also show as pending if you log into fatwallet.

I placed an order for 2 Premiere XLs w/lifetime + 3yr warranty for around $1500 last night and I got the email for cash back of $121.92.

Of course, an hour after I make this post, the transaction shows up in my account. After selling my TivoHD two weeks ago, this is turning into a GREAT zero cost upgrade.

paladin732 · 03-05-2010, 08:23 AM

Same thing, heh

I got $45.46, so it looks like we get the 37.50 PLUS some more for LT service

aaronwt · 03-05-2010, 08:31 AM

A few minutes ago mine showed up as pending.

richsadams · 03-05-2010, 04:51 PM

Okay guys...I'm willing to take the leap here. I've read through all of the posts and I kind of get the fatwallet opportunity, but can someone hold my hand with respect to signing up w/fatwallet as an affiliate and/or getting the most bang for my hard-earned buck?

FWIW I have a Series3 which is a daily driver and a TiVo HD which is used sporadically. Both are on monthly right now. I'm leaning toward a 320GB Premier to replace our Series3 and would upgrade it to 1TB (or more) when the time comes unless some sort of deal will make it worth my while to just go with an XL (lifetime?). I know it's older but I like my Series3 enough that I'd consider keeping it and selling the TiVo HD (w/1TB HDD upgrade).

TIA for walking me through this!

You just sign up for an account on Fatwallet. Then go to the "Coupons & Cash Back" page and go to TiVo and click on the link. Then make sure you purchase the TiVo from the page that opens on that link. That will make sure you get credit on your fatwallet account. Just note, it will take a while before you can actually get the cash back. They do this to make sure the item is returned, etc.

jmpage2 · 03-05-2010, 05:42 PM

Pre-ordered a Premiere. Shows up in my click history but no pending payment as of six hours later.

Sounds good! No affiliate sign up for additional cash back etc.? Was wondering what that was all about.

The fatwallet deal sounds like MS' Bing Cash back. I dislike it because they make you wait for 60 days before they'll credit you. But it's been worth it. I bought two Mac computers that way and received over $200 back. Thanks Bill Gates!

Thanks for that!

It is pretty much exactly like Bing Cash Back. And no, you do not need to create an affiliate account with TiVo (which would probably be against their TOS anyways).
