Get $20 back via mail-in rebate with an order of $100 or more
Tigerdirect has a new 48 hour promotion, good until 11:59pm ET on 12/17/14. Get $20 Back via mail-in rebate on order of $100 Or more at Tigerdirect. This requires a mail-in rebate.

Strategy: You can do either offer on its own, or you can do both.
