Ah i see you get a refund afterwards. That is uncommon here, well, with  
mobile phones it is common you get some free time if you register, but  
usually, if there's a rebate, you get it right when buying.

Of course they want you to buy other stuff, but i always thought that only  
works for women ;-), when i buy something i usually get it and don't look  
sideways.
My thought was maybe they hope to sell lots of laminator pouches.

Anyway, sounds like really good value for money ;-)
