Get QuickBooks 2009 Pro For Free (after rebate)

I just got a very important email from Intuit.  This coming Monday, December 22, 2008 you can purchase QuickBooks Pro 2009 at Staples for free, after rebate.  This is a great deal and if you are at all interested in using QuickBooks you should jump on this deal on Monday.

Here’s some of the details from the email that I got:

I just learned of a one-day promotion in which you can obtain QuickBooks Pro 2009 for next to nothing – this coming Monday.

To help small business owners grow and run their companies, Intuit will offer the Windows version of QuickBooks Pro 2009 for free* at all Staples stores on Monday, Dec. 22, for one day only.

Why? This effort originally started out as a small test, but Intuit decided to expand the offer. Intuit wants to help small businesses through tough economic times, and of course we are always working to bring more business owners on board as QuickBooks users.

The Meaning of “Free”:

We’re using free* in quotation marks or with an asterisk because there are some conditions attached to this offer. It works like this:

* The regular price at Staples is $199.99.
* The customer will receive $40 in instant savings.
* The customer at the store will receive a $159.99 mail-in rebate form.
* When the customer mails in the rebate form they will receive, some weeks later, a rebate for $159.99.
* Once the customer obtains the rebate, their base costs are zero: $199.99 – $40.00 – $159.99 = $0.
* The buyer may still be responsible for sales tax at the time of purchase; sales tax is not free.

The offer is for one day only; limited to one copy of QuickBooks Pro per customer. You can find the nearest Staples store at www.staples.com or buy on-line.
