MacBook Pro 2GHz: 0wned

 

I just ordered a new MacBook Pro 2GHz laptop from Amazon.com. Same price as from Apple ($2499), but there's a $150 mail-in rebate. I also have a Chase/Amazon.com credit card, which means I get three reward points for each dollar: 7500 reward points. 2500 reward points are redeemable for a $25 gift certificate. Total cost of MacBook Pro 2GHz? $2349, with $75 worth of credit usable at Amazon.

Oh, and right, I'm quitting my job. More on that later. Hire me!

When's the UK release?

You could have also set up an Amazon Associate account (for free) and bought the laptop through yourself to gain 7% commission :-p

Nope, not anymore. I used to do that, but now they automatically remove that credit if they detect it is coming from a credit card linked to similar accounts or addresses. I've just been too lazy to setup post office boxes and all that boring "outside" jazz.
