I would go with whatever shows an actual price paid along with the date. I've never ordered from BN but I've received Amazon orders where my packing slip could be viewed as the receipt (price listed) whereas NewEgg.com only list the items included in the shipment and you access your order history at the website to print out an invoice (receipt).

Mine came today perfectly as advertised. Thanks to OP and everyone else! Oh yeah, I think you guys will get a kick out of this article from 1975

Wow, where can I buy me one of dem fancy video disc players? And a high quality TV like that one in the background...

Hey guys, just used the 25% off coupon on the website for Playboy. Rolling Stone isn't available, but I'm thinking of checking out the store. So, if you haven't jumped on the Playboy set, now's the time!

I had actually forgotten all about this, but I received my rebate check on the Rolling Stone set in the mail today.

I didn't care for it so much. It was a pain to navigate. So I sent off for the subscription, and then sold it for a profit.

it was weird for me. i received an issue of rolling stone in the mail about a week ago. and i was pissed. i thought they decided to give me a subscription even though i clearly wrote in for a refund.

a few days later, i received another issue. and then two days later i received a third issue (i guess they were sending me past back issues at a quicker rate?) AND my rebate check.

so from the looks of it, according to the mag, i get a year-long subscription and $12.95 back. not bad at all, huh? this happen to anybody else?

Got my $12.95 refund check today as well...

Did the refund form have to be submitted within 30 days of purchase? I never sent mine in...

Nope. No time frame given. I just sent mine in around the first of this month.

You guys who received your rebate, when did you mail it in?

I sent mine in a few days after I got the set(probably the end of january), so I would guess that it took the proverbial 6-8 weeks.

Wow! I got an issue of RS in the maill yesterday even though I chose to receive the rebate check. This deal just keeps getting better!

I keep forgetting to open my package and send in for that check.

I just did it two days ago... I'd do it before you lose your receipt!

This is funny...not only did I get my check, but as others have reported, I just started getting issues of Rolling Stone in the mail(got 2 back issues lol). The mailing label says the subscription expires 2/12/09....
