That’s so weird. Why would they run a promo that involves getting three card readers?!
the website isn’t working dan
Dan you are choteh umachteh es harabim!!!!
All this vibrating is disrupting my second Seder!!!!
From a bochur in yeshiva gedola in LA!
So basically you can buy 3 card readers per account?
@Sasha:
Beats me, but I’m in for 3.
@Shteiging bochur in yeshiva gedola:
Pas nisht for a bochur to have a cell phone 😉
Can you buy 3 at the same time for a $45 credit.
@Shteiging bochur in yeshiva gedola:
Your phone should be on silent… Wait they let bochurim in Yeshiva these days have phones???!
@zachary:
I did. I don’t see why not.
Does that mean I can get back a total of $45?
Is this only valid if you take credit card payments ?
Only 200 available and need to have an account to order. Account needs to be activated too, so I’m sure by the time I get my activation email, these will be long gone. Oh well, thanks anyway Dan!
In for 3.
Thanks Dan.
in for 3 myself. spend $3 and get $45 in paypal:)
@Jgadyfi:
Yes.
@Tim:
This allows you to take cc payments.
@Anonymous:
Bad attitude. I went through the process only after I put this post up and the order went through.
We’ll see if I get them, but worth the shot.
2 accounts each ordered 3. Tizke Dan!
Ordered 19
Dont the rules say u only get 15 back if u “Buy a specially-marked package” , its possible that the alphanumeric numbers on these wont work for the rebate (unless of course, R Dan, you have already received readers and the rebates worked). Can you let us know if this is confirmed to work?
@ochny: That’s about 10% of total available.
Do I need to make three separate purchases? I would assume that in order to get three separate packages I would need too. Or do they each come in their own package?
Thanks,
Donny
@ochny:
Lol Waiting for the guy who orders like a hundred
@shiframeir:

@Donny:
Why do you assume that?
I’d assume each reader has the original packaging.
Can you get the credit from paypal again if you did this in the past?
The last time this went around, with the Newegg promo code, I made money on the 3 rebates, then sold all the readers on eBay (in turn earning another $25 from an eBay promotion encouraging users to list and sell).
For those who have done this before, remember that there is a limit of 3 $15 bonuses per Paypal account, so you may not be eligible anymore. Also, the redemption codes might not be accepted online, but you can call PayPal customer support and they will validate them over the phone.
Yay! Created 23 accounts and got 592 readers!!!
Seriously people, chill. What are you going to do with all these things? Paypal will shut you down if they suspect ‘fraudulent or unauthorized redemptions’ as they state in their terms.
I’m pretty sure they’ll crack down if you start submitting more than 3.
Will i be able to get the 45 if i already have one here device currently and have used it already?
Already received my confirmation.
@Dan
You are right about the attitude (my post came up as Anon before), lol. Guess I am still stinging from missing out on past deals (aargh, Delta!). I actually did get it to go through so thanks a ton!
Can I still do 3 if I once did this sort of PayPal deal in past or will my accnt only accept 2 more.
@shiframeir:
Accountants should know how to read better.
Ordered six.
three each for wife’s PP account and mine.
Shkoiach!!
@ochny: 19 isn’t a multiple of 3.
Thnx Dan! Just got 3! But it wasn’t – $14.01. There was 5¢ tax! 🙂
In for 3.
what does not redeemable at retail mean
@Shteiging bochur in yeshiva gedola: I’m watching you.
Ordered three, still working as of 7:05 pm EST.
@Reb AZ Gross: So am I. Is this what’s shterring you guys all day?
I think PayPal is down 😀
Where is the pram option code?
fun
Where is the code I can put in? Do I have to wait ill I receive the card readers and it’s on the box or something?
This blog is a douche magnet.
In for 3. Thanks, Danno!
@Me: Read what Dan wrote in the instructions. It’s pretty clear and self explanatory. Kol tuv!
Wow! So much consternation over a $3 venture (well $3.15 with tax). I’m in for 3. Hope it goes thru. Thanks Dan!
How many did u buy?
got 500!
@Yanky Tanty: you total numpty, someone asks a legit question and you answer with silly stuck attitudes. Don’t be stupid answer normally
@Moshe:
Glad i’m not an accountant :). i read what it said on top, but it also said on bottom that CDW is not liable for the 15 credit, and the Paypal terms for credit limit to the “specially-marked” packaged readers. I’m hoping this works (worst comes to worst its $1.08 for nothing), but just noting that this may not work and CDW is not the most reliable company.
“$15 PayPal account credit available is offered through PayPal; CDW is not liable or responsible for $15 account credit”
ordered 3 says order confirmed, thanx.
how how how does this work,
someone pleeease help me, pleeeeeease!
i take back the last part, looks like cdw is a lot classier than i thought it was (was mixing up with discount e-retailers). hope this works.
@fashtinken: order it LET IT GET DELIVERED… THEN follow above instructions ie put code into the link etc..
@dan Your reply to @shiframeir really just showed a picture that said you get the credit ONCE YOU SIGN UP, but your original post says its “…found on the card reader package”…which one is it? and I signed up yet don’t see the credit anywhere….? Can you please clarify. Thanks
It says in the fine print that “total quantity available is 200”. But theres definitely been more than 200 bought, and its still working…
ordered 3 total was 3.03 got confirmation number hope it works
STILL DON’T GET IT,
AM i DUMB ?
can I buy 3 together or it needs to be separate?
@fashtinken: yes
Any potential to use these for MS? (maybe using OVs?)
it was only for the first 200 that were sold. Those were “specially marked”. After that they do not include the $15 bonus.
@Dan do you think I should still bother ordering at this point? Do you think only first 200 ordered will get the promo codes?
@asd:
where does it say they will be specially marked?
@Mike B:
It says only 200 are available for 99 cents. That has nothing to do with the Paypal promotion.
As to why they haven’t sold out yet, I have no idea. Either way not much risk for just 99 cents.
@asd:
Oy. Where is this first 200 piece of information from?
@Anonymous:
Look at the asterisk on the page. Very clear that it’s referring to CDW pricing and not the Paypal rebate.
I ordered 3 and got charged for it. However I didn’t receive confirmation email from them. What does that mean? Anyone?!?!
Does anyone know whether or not I’ll have to open the package to find the promo code?
When I did this last time I didn’t. The code was in a sealed paper stuck to the package(if I remember correctly. And I do believe that this will NOT come in a package. Mine came in a plastic bag
Meaning it comes in a sealed bag but not a hard retail packaging
@Thenewguy
Thats rude!
Dan is right. (as usual) The 200 has nothing to do with the 15$ promotion.
whoops your right must have read that wrong. do you think it would work with a CA pp account?
Ive done this before and for everyone wondering about the rebate code, my experience was that I had to open the top flap, rip the plastic and scratch off to reveal the code.
Hope that helps someone
Just got 6 for 2 accounts. Thanks
any canadians trying this??
Do you have to make an account with them?
where do i find the code I need to input into Paypal?
@reuven: read the post. It will come w on the package
am i the only one who thinks it’s funny they don’t take paypal?
I don’t understand dumb people.
Why are you reading in half and ask in whole?
Questions questions while the answer is right in front of you.
Dan how do you have gedult to us?
Thanks. I got 9 for 3 paypal accounts. Mine, wifes, Business
Thanks.
Dan – do people get shut down for processing AGC on a small scale using these (~2k/mo)?
@yair: I was thinking the same thing
It says ‘after signup’ but what does ‘signup’ entail? Will I have to pay a monthly charge to Paypal? etc…
Where is the fine print?
@Bob: What’s AGC?
Discrimination against those of us who don’t have smartphones!
nice!
i just got 3 of them
but i’m sure that they sold already 1000s
hope this will go through and i wond get stuck with and term and conditions
PayPal requires you to verify your PayPal account in order to receive the rebate and use the card reader.
How many paypal accounts can I do this with? Can I order 90 of them and set up 30 Paypal accounts?

@David R:
Or just follow @DansDeals next time… http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/35026
For all those wondering what’s going on I just spoke to cdw…
PAYPAL ONLY GAVE THEM 200 UNITS THAT HAVE PROMO….
THEY HAVE 13000 BACKORDERS… NOONE AFTER THE 200 WILL BE GETTING ANYTHING….
but as always thank you dan- great site
@yitz: Thanks for finally getting some clarity!
Site said 200, actually had 350 or so, got orders for 20,000! Cancellations.
@Dan Any thoughts to what CDW is saying about the 200 limit?
@Dan:
Dan what is the story with this??? Is this a scam like some places are reporting?
Any update? I haven’t received any cancellations….has anybody else?
Cancellations coming…
I tried to search my order status with the order #’s and it’s says “order not found”
Dan,
Thanks for the awesome idea. However i was wondering if it’s possible to earn endless points by swiping your own credit card to your own paypal account?
@b l
Same thing happened to me
my orders just got cancelled now!
Order Cancelled
Order canceled
also cancelled
was canceled. so sad :((
Cancelled today
they are obligated to provide it to you once the order went through , if you ordered a large amount you may wanna get a lawyer it’s worth it
Also cancelled.
@Dave, they charge a percentage fee for the transaction, so if you have a way to get more than the fee (I think it’s 2.7%) back in miles/cashback/points, then yes, it’s worth it
Just got three in the mail and redeemed them.
Thanks Dan!!!
I received 3 in the mail today. On the side of the packaging it says to sign up for $15 credit. Haven’t done it yet.
Thanks Dan. I owe you a beer.
I got three in the mail today and redeemed the codes. Thanks Dan
I got an email from them saying that they ran out of stock and they cancelled my order. any ideas?
got 10!
i got three, what do i do with them now? can i sell them opened?
@Ben: I got 3 in the mail also… Where is the code? Is it the # under the bar code on the package?
Thnx
@L S: in the mean time I got a email that 1 of my orders was canceled and then I got another email that 1 order is already shipped (i ordered 2 times 3) and it’s still says “order not found” now im waiting for it
@Eli:
The code is inside. You have to open the package, and scratch off to uncover the code
wow it worked thanks dan, 45$ instantly added to my account. thought theyd never come!
🙂
Just got 3 and redeemed them! Thanx Dan!
PayPal balance: $45.00 USD. Net $41.76. Thanks Dan.
i got two in the mail, but they charged me shipping (39.97) on my amex, and they wont take the charge off. the email conformation has the total at 2.14 (after taxes) so i called amex and hopefully they will reverse the charge. did they charge anyone else for shipping?
I got 9 and redeemed them all last night!
Money is already in my account!
Thanks Dan.
got 3, the money is already in my account, easy to redeem, Thanks Dan
