Rebates through Amazon?

Question

I am looking at a Tivo DVR through Amazon. They are offering a $150 rebate with it. Is this a safe route. Anyone have any good or bad experiences with receiving a rebate with Amazon

Answer 1

Ive been to amazon and it is trust worthy

but read carefully and dont get scammed

Answer 2

Wow, that is quite a rebate, but i would hold off purchasing a DVR if you have a cable or satellite company that is becoming proprietary about what systems can be plugged into their cable boxes or satellite boxes. Many companies will only be allowing their own DVR's after 2009. TIVO systems may or may not be compatible with these new controls.

However, if you are going to get a DVR anyway, I have used the rebate system through Amazon and overall i was pleased with it.

Hope this answer helps
