Yes, I notice that term. But based my experience, ebates and Fatwallet, the two biggest websites there to provide cash back, also needs to wait for at least 90 days. So, I don’t worry about it too muhc.

I’d be cautious on Dealdigs.com — important to note that their site indicates that you must wait 90 days for your rebate.

You can buy this refub iPhone through some cash back website to save even more. For example, I just bought mine from DealDigs.com which is providing $25 cash back right now. So my final cost is just $224. Below is the link:

Yeah I can understand that. I have actually seen refurbished HDDs, what the hell are you going to trust to one of those!

The only refurbs I shy away from are those with a lot of moving parts. I bought a Roomba off Woot! once that was a refurb and about 10 minutes out of the box it started doing the “circle of death” on the office floor. After that I swore off refurbs that had a lot of moving parts.

Apple has a really good reputation with their refurbs.

I’ve experienced the same with refurbs. You might not get the pretty box, but the device will be as good as new.

That is so cheap. My experiences with refurbs has been very good, had a few PDAs and a Dell desktop as refurbs and they were just like new (except for the price tag!).
