Kingwin Case Fans: CF-12LB 120mm 3 & 4 Pin $4 after Rebate, CFY-012LB Advanced Series 120mm Yellow LED $3.50 after Rebate, CF-012LB 120mm $1 after Rebate

Quote from TDMVP73 : Don't worry, they have a ton of these in stock. Plus, the rebate is going on for about another week, so even if they ran out, I'm sure they'll get in another shipment. I think Kingwin is unloading these dirt cheap to all retailers (Newegg, TigerDirect, etc.). They are probably clearing out inventory and coming out with some new models that move more air.

Hi Mr. TD,

How do we use multiple credit/debit cards on TigerDirect.com? Say, we have multiple prepaid cards from rebates. Thanks.

Hey,

Unfortunately, you can't use multiple forms of payment at TigerDirect.com, at least not when ordering online.

You may be able to use multiple forms of payment via phone, but I've never tried this.

If you are talking about AMEX Prepaid Cards, you might want to try calling the Phone # on the back of the Card and telling them you are sick of having a bunch of cards lying around. In the past, they could consolidate multiple card balances onto one card, if you got the right representative.

Another option is to use the cards to buy a TigerDirect.com Gift Card, and that would allow you to use multiple GCs on a purchase.

However, if you buy TigerDirect gift cards, that will take some time to process (and for you to receive the card #), and they may charge a pre-authorization fee of $1, so you would probably only be able to order say, a $14 gift card with a $15 prepaid card.

The $1 pre-authorization fee would eventually fall off (usually in 14 to 30 days), but then you would be left with a $1 card balance.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

WOW, you are a genius. Thanks a lot. Really appreciate your prompt and accurate response. See what I can do for you next time when I get a chance. Repped. WOW.

Haha, glad I could help.

Btw, if you are calling the Phone # on the back of the card, you might want to start off the conversation by saying you would like a refund/check for several prepaid cards.

Usually, the representative will ask you why, and then you can tell them you are sick of having a million cards lying around and its hard to keep track of all their balances.

If you get a good rep, they might suggest consolidating the card balances onto one card. I've had a few reps suggest this, and I did take them up on it a few times.

It's beneficial for AMEX to retain your prepaid card, because they charge the merchant a % just to run the card... plus they stand to make money if you don't use up the full balance within 6 months.

Of course, if they are a jerk about it, you could always tell them you just want a check. This will take approximately 20 business days to arrive and you'll want to make sure to get a Claim ID # at the conclusion of the call. Do not let them off the phone without getting one. If they say they'll call you back in 24 hours with one, tell them that you would prefer to wait for them to process the request.

Whenever they say they'll call in 24 hours, they never do, and usually that's when the refund request isn't completed. It's happened to me a few times, just wanted to save you the headache.

HEADS UP

It appears that there is also a yellow LED fan that goes for $0.99 after rebate. Same deal, limit 3 except end price will be a $1 ea. Add this to the main section if you can!

Great. I know the check claim part but never know the credit consolidation part. Many many thanks.

The price on the CF-12LB has gone up (as expected) to $9.

Please update the OP accordingly. Thanks!

Quote from bb182 : If you try to use a gift card for more than the order amount then your order will be rejected because their system doesn't like zero dollar orders.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Is it because of the rebates? TIA.

Got 3 blue. ~$33 after shipping. Filling out the rebate form online was easier than I thought it would be. Will go in my corsair 500r. Repped. Too bad its going on an amex rebate card. Gotta make sure that account is cancelled when I empty off the card.

I've ordered quite a few TD gift cards with my rebate cards. and they never did a pre-authorization. They always charge the full amount immediately like Newegg does.

I've done zero dollar orders with TD before, amd they always go through.

The Newegg rebate is only valid for 1 purchase per their PDF, so if you want/need multiple units TD is the way to go...

Price went up on the black fans, should've bought when it was lower but I didn't see rebates posted. Will it usually be like this with Tigerdirect MM deals? They go by Eastern time so can just buy before rebates posted?

Quote from kgod : I've done zero dollar orders with TD before, amd they always go through.

Not with gift cards they don't.

They get rejected.

If the item total is less than the gift card value, your order will get rejected. The system makes you put in a credit card #, and charges your credit card $0.00, and that causes an order rejection.

I wouldn't advise anyone to try it, unless they want to jeopardize receiving their items. I've had it happen to me twice before I realized what was going on. Others have experienced similar issues.
