<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I got an interesting mailing that said I
could get a free wireless router without purchase. On reading the details I
noticed it said I had to present it at the “<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Yonkers</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">MicroCenter</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>”.
I was curious if anyone else got such a mailing and was actually able to get
the free router at an <st1:City w:st="on">Atlanta</st1:City> area <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Micro</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>?
If so did you get it without actually buying anything? I wasn’t sure if the
mailing I received was just bad proofreading (i.e. it was actually for any
Microcenter not just the one in Yonkers) or if they had included that in the
fine print as a way to avoid giving a way free routers if you didn’t actually
buy something at one of the Atlanta stores.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
