I
am eligible for the bonus pack mail in rebate offer - this is not the issue. I have read the terms & conditions and I do not understand them - that is why I have been asking. When I went to the site to download the rebate offer there was a link to order the item but shipping/handling charges. My local shop said I could order the items from them (keep my business local) and I would get the rebate but when I read the fine print it says to include a copy of receipt or invoice from Maxtor and/or D-link. If I buy from local shop the receipt will be from the local shop. It will say that I bought the rebate product but not directly from them. Does it mean that I have have a choice of where I buy it from? They say I had to buy the computer with Vista from a localpcbuilder but it is not clear about where to buy the rebate items and they make it clear if I don't follow their instructions they will not honor the rebate. Can somone please help? Thanks.
