    I'm looking into buying a notebook soon mainly for school purposes. Since I'm a student, saving money is a high priority. So I've been searching for deals including 2nd party deals and found this fatwallet site.

    Anyway, the question is: Who has had experience in dealing with them, how does it work, and most importantly does it work?

    I've only been a FW member for a couple of months. Just be sure you sign in through FatWallet before making your purchase to make sure you get the cash back rebate and then you will click through to go to the merchant's Web site.

    There's also a grace period before you can get your money. For example, I ordered a laptop Dec. 10 and I have to wait until March before getting the cash back. Once you sign in, you'll be able to see every merchant you've clicked through, bought from, how much money you'll be getting and when it will become available.
