Belkin Single-Outlet Surge Protector: $10 – $10 rebate Philips 700MB/80-Minute CD-Rs (100-Pack): $20 – $20 rebate Belkin F5D72304 802.11g Wireless Router: $65 – $57 rebate Belkin F5D7000 802.11g Wireless Desktop Adapter: $45 – $40 rebate Belkin F5D7010 802.11g Wireless Notebook Adapter: $45 – $40 rebate Remember that if you go to Circuit City via a mileage mall, you earn miles for your purchases based on the original (not after-rebate) price. I recommend the AAdvantage Mall because they’re giving double miles for purchases using Mastercard plus Circuit City is a featured merchant for the threshold bonus of up to 10,000 miles. Free after rebate items are a great way to earn those miles.

The free photo iPod and free handbag offers both show Ancestry.com at the moment — a free trial with no expense that in my experience is easy to cancel. See this post for a summary of the free electronics offers, how they work, and how to complete them. I’m a big fan, having gotten the computer, television, and iPod already.

Special hotel rates are available through March 31 in conjunction with the movie National Treasure. Rates at Washington, DC’s Grand Hyatt start at $99. Other hotel deals are available as well, such as $109 at Melrose. The Grand Hyatt’s standard rate hovers around $300 per night, though it dips down so around $229 on lower occupancy nights — so $99 is an excellent deal. However any night where the $99 rate is available I’m almost certain that there’d be Priceline availability as well. A four-star bid in the Capitol Hill/Convention Center zone should yield the Grand Hyatt for $65-$70 on those nights.
