Sure, you can buy as many as you want online, or maybe by phone (has anyone called?). But are you going to fill in a rebate slip for each unit, and fill in the same name and address for them to send the rebate to? Then there's the deal of their wanting the original retail cashier's sales slip. Has is been confirmed that an email, or whatever notification Gateway sends (assuming they will), will qualify for the rebate? I would hope so. Even so, if more than one unit is purchased, isn�t it possible that the computer at the rebate center will pick this up while processing multiple rebate applications with the same �cashier�s receipt�, and the same address to send the rebates to? I once had a CompUSA rebate denied after 3 months because I didn�t notice I posted the rebate one day after the deadline, about three days after I purchased the product. Here�s a quaint section of the rebate terms: . �Fraudulent submission of multiple requests could result in federal . prosecution under US Mail Fraud Statues (18 USC 1341 and 1342).� This is a wonderful time to be testing the ability of systems to catch fraud. That said, it is temping to at least try putting a couple purchases through the system, huh?
