Important Update: It appears that the rebate has been pulled from the system, and may no longer be submitted online. If you have not registered the rebate early while registration was available, or not willing to take the risk of not receiving a rebate that you already registered for, please contact TigerDirect for a return authorization. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. -redsolar

Update for those who have not yet registered their rebates:

Quote from calistyle

TD, it seems that the registration pages aren't working now even though they were working earlier and the instruction pages still work. I've never experienced this before, but it concerns me so I asked the mods to move this to Deal Talk. I'm hoping you might know more about this or be able to offer some suggestions.

What options do you know of for people who did not register the rebate yet? Will they still be able to get it by calling 4myrebate for assistance or should they just get refunds from TigerDirect? TIA.

Uh oh, that's not a good sign! Frown

It appears that other TigerDirect 4MyRebate rebate registrations are still working, so it looks like they disabled the online registration for these particular offers.

People should still be able to register for the rebate via phone. Just be persistent with the phone agent and tell them you want to register for Rebate Offer #TD-8528 (for 500 GB) or Offer #TD-8483 (for 1 TB drive), but the online site isn't allowing you to. They should be able to register you via phone and give you your tracking # (and it will also be sent to you via e-mail).

They have done this in the past on deals they didn't want to honor, but people were still able to get 4MyRebate to register them for the offers via phone. I wouldn't put this off... I'd call them immediately tomorrow (their offices are open from 9 AM EST to 5 PM EST).

The Phone # is: 1-800-286-9146

If you have already purchased and registered for the rebate (before it closed), you shouldn't have any issues receiving your prepaid card. To double-check that your rebate is still active in the system, go HERE [4myrebate.com].

Input your tracking # (which should have been sent to you via e-mail) and zip code.

I was just about to post these too. Stick Out Tongue

It's a shame that WD portable drives don't have standard SATA connectors inside. $55 for a 1 TB is pretty darn cheap.

Are you saying that if the drive is removed from the case they can't connect to sata as an internal drive? ? ?

Yes, that's what I'm saying. They have the USB connections soldered onto the HD instead of the typical SATA interface, which is what you would need to make it into a laptop hard drive (2.5" drive).

If you want to rip apart an external drive, I recommend sticking with Seagates, Toshibas, or most Hitachis.

However, Hitachi was bought out by Western Digital, so they might start doing the same thing soon.

I'm considering picking this up, for sure. TU

I would jump on this deal if I didn't have to mess around with rebates Also their CC sucks as well, can't get a hold of someone, and their email customer service always give you the run around.
