Question for U.S based pc Pruners
I off to the USA shortly, and while I'm there, I wish to purchase a new laptop.
($2 to £1 make them very good value).
However, many of the large computer shops are offering savings as "mail in rebates". How exactly does this work?. When I purchase the computer (visa card), and send in the required forms, does the rebate get credited back into my visa account, or will they send me a cheque (check), made payable in USD?.
This second option wouldn't be much use to me, due to me not having a USD bank account or a US address, and I was wondering if the store managers are open to negotiation for giving a cash discount rather than the mail in rebate.
Thanks for any advice or tips.
