Nascar 1999 Free at Best Buy?

I purchased Nascar 1999 last night at Best Buy since there is a rebate coupon on the front of the box good for the entire purchase price up to $49.99 (minus tax). Inside the coupon it says to send in any Sports CD listed on the front of the coupon. Well the front of the coupon doesn't have a list, but inside it lists the companies that the CD must be from. Since Electronic Arts is one of them I am thinking of sending in my original Need For Speed disk to get back my 44.95. It is limited to one rebate per household and the coupon was on a couple of other different Sierra games as well. If I can actually get my entire purchase price back, it was a no-brainer to get it. Does anyone have any experiences yet with the rebate? Robert

That's what I did with GPL! Then I went out to my local used computer store and bought a copy of LinksLS on CD for a $1.00, which I mailed back to Sierra/Papyrus We'll see in 8 - 10 weeks ?!?!?! >I purchased Nascar 1999 last night at Best Buy since there is a rebate >coupon on the front of the box good for the entire purchase price up to >$49.99 (minus tax).

I, too bought N99 - even on Sierra's site (somewhere) they mention a $20 rebate for N2 owners. I got it for the new tracks and the trucks. Anxiously awaiting N2000 (or N3 or whatever they're gonna call it). Don Hancock "Gunner"

I've been doing pretty good with my rebates. Out of the 8 I have sent in for, my memory is the only one I didn't get back ($40). I'll send it in and hope for the best. Robert

Everyone, The deal with the rebate is( i called and spoke with a rep ) you buy NASCAR 99 and send in a sports title from any of thease companies: Access EA GT Acclaim Edios Microsoft If you are unaware of a certain title they have a list and can tell you over the phone. If you read the fine print ...it also says it will refund you up too $49.99 US and $59.99 canada. All you have too do is send in the cd of the old game with your receipt of the new purchase. You dont even have too send in the box..pretty cool. But their is a catch..................they will giveyou a refund on the price of the game and not what you paid in tax!! Overall a great deal. Mike Dunn

That's a real crappy deal for us Cannuks!! 59.99 canadian is less than $40 US!!!! Well, i guess i'll have to get my rebate sent to my relative's house in Tennesee!

They will refund the *purchase* price, up to the maximum stated. You get back only what you paid (minus taxes) so the deal is the same in both countries.

Mike and RAS, Can I send in a Sierra Nascar 1 CD (or a EA Road Rash CD) , along with the coupon and the receipt for N99 and get the rebate? I really hate to give up my N2 disk ! Tim A. Deatherage "Admitted Sim ***"

Your question was answered when you quoted the previous poster's text. >Can I send in a Sierra Nascar 1 CD (or a EA Road Rash CD) , along with the >coupon and the receipt for N99 and get the rebate? The quote: In other words...No, you can not send in N1. It is a Sierra title and only a disc from those 5 companies that you quoted can be sent in for the rebate. ========================== ==========================

Metro619 wrote Errr, not to be picky but... His Nascar Racing is maybe not from Sierra ;-) If I remember it was published by *** Interactive (as for IndyCar Racing 2 also before Sierra bought them).

I don't want to sound like an idiot but I have originally heard there was some type of rebate for "other" Sierra titles (e.g. N1 or N2) BUT I can't understand the logic of sending in other companies' game titles? I enjoy n99 but I don't like the fact that I don't get a break for upgrading to N99 ! Tim A. Deatherage "Admitted Sim ***"

The used CD-ROM sports game* that you have to send in with the UPC code from the box, the sales receipt and the rebate coupon to get the purchase price, less taxes, up to $49.99 in US dollars and $59.99 Canadian dollars. The only companies that the used CD-ROM sports game can come from are: Access EA GT Acclaim Edios Microsoft Not Sierra, not Papyrus, not Accolade, et al., just from the 5 companies listed above. Please allow 8-10 weeks for processing. Offer good between 10/1/98 and 1/31/99. Any other questions??? LOL

Well, that's the deal their offering ... you must send in a CD from a competitor (from that list). I'm getting the full purchase price of Viper Racing back and sending in some old sports game I don't want anymore.

Well, that's one way to get rid of NFS3 :) -Larry
