TigerDirect:WD Elements 1TB Portable Hard Drive - USB 3.0 $49.99, 500GB USB 3.0 $39.99, 2TB USB 2.0 $79.99, 160GB Intel X25-M SATA SSD $89.99 AR + S/H * Live *

REBATE PROBLEM ALERT: The 02/17/13 Western Digital Rebates did not update on 4MyRebate.com.

The Offers are as follows: TD-8489 [4myrebate.com] (1 TB), TD-8477 [4myrebate.com] (2 TB), TD-8517 [4myrebate.com] (500 GB)

This is not good for those who ordered. I would suggest contacting TigerDirect to cancel your order tomorrow or stop shipment (if necessary), as online registration is definitely not an option at this time.

If the rebates were going to be valid, they should have updated by now. 4MyRebate won't be open until Monday morning (or Tuesday if they are observing president's day), for those wishing to try phone registration.

However, I would not advise taking this gamble. It's best to move on and wait for another deal.

In this case, I was wrong... so I concede to blowout that TigerDirect invalidated these rebates prior to them going live (for whatever reason). For future TigerDirect Western Digital Hard Drive deals... DO NOT purchase them until 5 AM EST when 4MyRebate updates.
