[Ryan]

Yes.

You can use the after instant rebate price as well.

[MrDisco]

Sweet, first dibs...

didn't follow the rules. you fail.

[MrDisco]

Yes.

You can use the after instant rebate price as well.

so if building my system it says :

"Your Price:
$2013
Extra Savings: Your price will be $1963 after $50 mail in rebate."

This would qualify?

[BlueMax]

Great contest.... though these contests tend to keep me up at night pining away for all the toys I can't afford.

Here's hoping!

No. Use the Your Price field as the final price.

[Amourek]

Can we use Sale prices (once the sale goes up)? I assume that's okay as long as they are valid at the date of posting.
