Trying to redeem Bonus Pack

Question
-
I am trying to redeem the bonus pack for purchasing Windows Vista Home Premium, but it says I am not eligible. I have read the terms and I am not sure why.
Please shed some light.
Thanks,
Law

Ok, I see the problem. Apparently this is not for Retail versions. So, I spend the extra $100 for the retail version instead of the cheap OEM version, and I get screwed.
Lesson learned. No more retail versions for me. I see no advantage in my decision to buy retail.

The BONUS PACK offer is available only for certain eligible genuine Windows Vista and Office 2007 systems in the U.S. The offer must be redeemed in the U.S. It is only valid for Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Ultimate, Office Professional 2007, and Office Small Business 2007 with one of the part numbers on this page or purchased through one of the PC builders listed on this page: http://promotions.newegg.com/microsoft/bonuspack/FAQ.htmWednesday, April 4, 2007 6:52 PMModerator
