It just keeps getting easier!

We’re excited to tell you about a great, new offer that covers most of the core products and solutions you need. Now you can get the latest Microsoft® technology along with additional services and products under one simple offer. The Big Easy Offer is the Microsoft Partner subsidy program delivering great value and flexibility for your unique business needs.

Here’s how it works

Purchase qualifying products between August 25, 2008 and December 31, 2008 and you can earn partner subsidy funds from Microsoft in addition to the amazing FREE hardware BONUS PACKS through the Buy Local campaign. A great set of hardware accessories adds instant value to your new purchase and the additional subsidy dollars can be used to purchase additional services and products through the qualified Microsoft partner of your choice. Hardware, software and/or training – a winning combination for making the most of your new system.

And, this program scales to fit your purchase by offering incremental subsidies for additional qualifying purchases. As you purchase more products for your business, you will receive additional subsidy dollars.

Take advantage of this offer by following these simple steps:

1. Purchase. Purchase qualifying products between August 25, 2008 and December 31, 2008.
   
   
2. Redeem. After making a qualifying purchase, you can redeem the offers at http://offers.localpcbuilder.com/redeem until January 31, 2009. You will be asked to provide the software validation key for your new product purchase.
   
   After completing the validation process, you will receive an OEM Promotions Customer ID. You can use this ID in the future to associate more purchases and receive more subsidy dollars. You will also receive instructions for how to redeem your hardware offers as well as the subsidy dollars. You will need to enter your OEM Promotions Customer ID on the Big Easy redemption site, so keep it handy.
   
   One simple process for both hardware and subsidy dollars.
   
   
3. Spend. Microsoft will then send you a subsidy check made payable to the partner of your choice; of course, we hope you'll choose to work with us. Use the subsidy check toward the purchase of additional services and products. Services benefits could be deployment, training, assessments or solutions to meet your line of business needs. Additional products may include software and hardware. Checks must be used within 90 days of the issue date.
