"With Purchase" Dell gift cards... I have a plan, but ...

[jdc]

So Dell has a 65" TV with free shipping and a free $350 gift card after purchase.

I dont want or need a 65" TV, but I could use the gift card towards the 32" TV at Dell I do want.

So... buy the 65" TV, but refuse delivery. Assuming gift card comes in mail in a few weeks, use it for TV I want...

I suppose I could ship it back... and the cost of return shipping (no idea how much for a 65" TV) would be the "price" for getting a $350 gift card?

Shady? Underhanded? Abusing the system? Morally wrong? Ill go straight to h3ll? Wont work cause I need to keep the big TV?

Thoughts -- good or bad -- welcome. =)

Don't do it!

I doubt Dell would let you keep the gift card for free.

I would assume the gift card will NOT arrive. And Dell will take their darn sweet time about putting the refund into your credit card. And perhaps charge you a 20% restocking fee.

They're not stupid. I'm sure they have their process armored against this sort of stuff.
