    I do have to add at least twenty people on here apparently got in, I say SS W/ SD login in the pic would be enough. I also find it hard one person got two, when I clicked instantly and couldnt get a single one. *whoever said they got 2 probably did not, as i had 2 windows open and clicked through on both, got in on both, but the reservation confirmation # was the same; unless they had multiple borders reward accounts, that is.

    News: tigerdirect.com has pulled the Nintendo DSi Black version from their website. Only Teal-Blue version left.
    NOTE: Tiger Direct does NOT allow returns of the DSi.

    Got a thumbs down by people who don't know how to read

    Good deal but I'm expecting it to be almost impossible to get the deal, since it's for the first 100 customers only

    Can someone refresh me on how to do the live cashback on a purchase such as this? I know it has to do with cookies, and I cannot recall the correct steps. Thanks for your help

    Ugh is it worth waking up at 5:45 to fight everyone for this? I wonder how much shipping will be.

    So we have to be at bordersrewardsperks.com at that time or do we just go directly to tigerdirect?

    Word of warning:


    What is the $10 reservation fee (the "no show" fee)?

    You will not be charged any fee for making a reservation & taking advantage of a deal.

    However, if you take a reservation and DO NOT purchase, you will be charged a $10 "no show" fee.

    Why do we do this? Other members have provided a lot of feedback about Overwhelming Offers that sell out too fast (note: we read EVERY feedback message we get).

    If the offer is a great deal, selling out fast is to be expected... but we have been frustrated that some members who reserve these "super hot" offers, don't go on and actually purchase. This is not fair to other members, who would have used the deal and gotten the savings. This is a waste of valuable reservations. To make sure only people who really want the deal take advantage of it, we are charging a small fee ($10), only if you reserve AND don't purchase - This fee is only charged if you are “no show” (i.e., make a reservation but don’t purchase).

    Bottom line: We don't want your $10. We want to make sure only serious buyers reserve.

    (Note: The reservation fee will be charged to the card you registered with us.)

    Makes sense to me...same crap that ebayers pull off sometime..they buy something...and decide they don't want it later, but they already committed to buying it. So then it becomes a whole cornucopia of arguing. You click it, you buy it
