Is the JTV Instant Rebate an instant rebate or a mail in rebate?

I saw at AmericanMusical.com there is $200 instant rebate on the JTV guitars. However, American Musical seems to think it's a mail in rebate. When I look at the promo at line 6 ( http://line6.com/account/promos/dreamrig ). It sounds like it should be an instant rebate. But none of the authorized seller seem to know about. Since Line 6 no longer seems to have a customer support center I thought I'd see if anyone here knew anything about it.

It's an instant rebate applied at check out. If you own any of the other Dream Rig components(purchased from an authorized dealer of course), though, you can also get an extra $150 through a mail-in rebate.

  So you only get $200 off a JTV is you already own a Pod HD 500 or DT-25 amp? The resellers are supposed to know if we already bought one of these?

    Zap is correct. The $200 is reflected in the sale price of the guitar. I don't know about AMS, but Musician's Friend and Sweetwater simply show $200 off the price of the guitar in the product page. The mail in rebate allows you to get more money back if you have already bought any other part of the Dream Rig.

      Yes. I'm seeing the reduced prices on other sites now. I didn't see them anywhere yesterday. American Musical was saying the $200 was a mailin rebate but that's not how I read it. Glad I didn't order with them.

  It looks to me like you have to own or buy all 3 of the components (JTV, Pod HD, DT amp) to get the extra $150 via mail-in rebate.

    Yes, I believe that's correct. You have to in essence buy whatever you need to complete the whole dream rig to get the mail-in rebate.
