Let's see.  You can get 5% back on all Seagate drives you purchases
separately IF you have the receipt.

How many keep those receipts?  How many bought "from an authorized
Seagate retailer or distributor, separately as a Seagate product that
was not preinstalled into and bundled with a PC or any other type of
electronic device."

The prices of drives runs about $100 plus or minus $50.

Is it worth it for $5 or even $7.50?  The effort is more than the
return.  The only ones that win here are the lawyers.
