I sent my Premiere CD and coupon in on 7/18/03 (just over a week ago).

Today, I received an email with my UPS tracking number for Final Cut Express. And it's supposed to arrive today!

At just over a week, this is by far the best service I've ever seen or heard of with a rebate/special offer - not to mention that the ability to get FPE free just for turning in an old copy of Premiere for Windows!

I was expecting to see it in six or so weeks, but this is rediculous!

Kudos Apple!

(as a note, my $30 off .mac for purchasing it with a new Mac was speedy, but not nearly this fast)

I sent my Premiere CD in on 7/18 also, but FCE arrived at my doorstep as I was getting home from work on 7/25, 1 week after I sent my request.

Funny thing though was this email from Apple in my Inbox TODAY:

Dear JOHN DAVIS,

processed. Final Cut Express has shipped via UPS. To track your shipment please go to

Thank you for your purchase.

Better late than never, I guess, but I was more than happy with the getting FCE before their confirmation email came!

I just got my Premiere disks today. $50 on Ebay still makes it a cheap way to get FCE. With any luck in a week I'll be editing away.

That one and the keynote/iLife thing took a while to get to me. Still not bad all things considered.

Apple rarely has these types of promotions, but when they do, they totally rock!

I traded in my old, original 400mzh G4 for $500 to purchase a new, dual 1ghz MDD PowerMac.

It was a promotion with CompUSA, but it was with Apple, none the less. You could also trade in your PC, although they weren't worth as much ;)
