Want To Buy A TiVo? Get $20 Here
[2/15/05: TiVo sent me a mail saying this incentive is against TiVo Rewards terms. I hereby announce that the following offer is no longer valid. Please contact me if you have any questions. The original post is kept intact to maintain the integrity of this blog.]
Have you heard about TiVo? TiVo is a leading brand of personal video recorder that revolutionizes the way people watch TV. Once you have TiVo, you can watch your favorite shows any time you want, and skip all the commercials. Think about the time you can free up for other things important to you.
If you want to shop for TiVo, you can use some online shopping bots, like shopping.com, to search for the lowest price. You should also check out TiVo website itself for latest TiVo deals. You might also notice sometime TiVo offers mail-in rebates as much as $100. Factoring in the rebate, you can have your TiVo for under $100.
Plus, here is a chance to get another $20 from me via PayPal.
Why I Want To Offer You $20
Because I enjoy my TiVo and I would like more people to use it. Plus, I am a member of the TiVo Rewards program, which allows me to collect points for people who I refer. I can redeem these points to enhance my TiVo experience or TiVo Plus service on a DVD player or recorder with TiVo.
Eligibility
I will offer $20 to whoever puts me as referrer while activating a new TiVo service subscription (excluding TiVo Basic service subscriptions and TiVo service subscriptions through DirecTV and BSKYB).
How It Works
Please follow these three easy steps to get the $20 that belongs to you:
1) During your TiVo activation process, put my email address "webmaster@pfblog.com" in step 2 as the person who referred you. Check out this screenshot for the exact location to put my email.
2) Please send me an email and tell me which email address I should send the PayPal payment to.
3) I will receive a mail from TiVo within hours to confirm that you have activated your TiVo with me as the referrer. Once I get the confirmation, I will send you $20 via PayPal to your specified email address.
The whole process usually takes less than 48 hours.
Questions:
I am glad to answer any of your questions about this referral deal. Please feel free to send your questions to webmaster@pfblog.com.
Happy TiVo!
