thanks!

The timing is tricky on this, the coupons expire 90 days after issue, so if you're not buying the converter soon, you should wait, if you wait too long, no coupon....bummer! Thanks for the information!!

got mine ordered, thanks~!

thank you

very good point because last week I read an article on this that said nobody was expected to have the converter boxes available for sale until later this summer--so don't rush to get your coupons!
