1490T TigerDirect purchase

 

I pulled the trigger today on a new Nuvi 1490T. If all the little doodads (cash back and rebate) work out, the net will be $188.31! I was almost going to get a 765T refurb from Newegg for about the same price when I found this deal.

If anyone is interested (sorry that it's a little convoluted so YMMV):
1) if you use Bing and search for the words "hard drive," you should get a sponsored link for a Bing cash back of 13.2% on tigerdirect.com purchases. Click through on that.
2) search for the 1490T and add the one that costs $239.99 to your cart. You'll know if you did it right if your shopping cart makes reference to $31.68 of Bing CB
3) use eBillme to checkout (see this eBillme $20 rebate form for further details: http://www.ebillme.com/rebates/ebillme_rebate_201006_tiger.p...).

I've never done a eBillme but I have had previous success with Bing Cash Back. The eBillme promotion ends tomorrow, 6/30/10.

Nice deal. I always thought

Nice deal. I always thought ebillme is a one time deal.

Bing cashback is coming to

Bing cashback is coming to an end at the end of July so you might get your check from Bing before the deadline.

Nice Price

I got the 1390T for $199, so you did really good.

Yeah, I got an email from Bing earlier this month saying that the program is ending on 7/30/10 but I could still redeem until 7/30/11.

Update

If anyone still wants to try this, eBillme has extended their Tigerdirect mail-in rebate to cover purchases through July 31st. Also, I just confirmed that the Bing Cash Back is still 13.2.% as mentioned in the original post. And finally, the TigerDirect pricing is still $239.99. So the original deal still stands for now.

Three things worth mentioning so far:
1) make sure that your bank is listed on the list of eBillme supported banks because you will ultimately be doing a bill pay to eBillme. If your bank is not listed, on eBillme's list, the payment will be sent by paper check instead of electronically.
2) make sure that you don't have to pay for Bill Pay. I qualified for free Bill Pay transactions with my Chase checking account but your bank may charge a fee.
3) if you need this in a hurry, plan on waiting an extra day or two for payment processing with eBillme and your bank. Once the Bill Pay cleared, I had to call TigerDirect yesterday afternoon to get the order moving along but as of this morning, the 1490T is on its way to me by UPS Ground.
