For those of you who bank through SunTrust, their rewards program has a "bonus buys" section that offers additional Sunpoints if you buy through the program. (shopping.suntrust.com)
I got to scrolling through the marketplace and they offer the PlayBook through Office Depot at 4 sunpoints per dollar. A few hundred dollars x 4 sunpoints per dollar gives you enough reward points to buy a BestBuy, Staples or WalMart gift card ($25, $50, etc increments depending on your points) that you can use to buy accessories, essentially for free.
For example...
32GB PB + tax = $650. $650 x 4 points = 2600 points. A $25 BestBuy giftcard is 2900 points, so if you're already a member you probably have at least 300 points saved. The numbers just go up from there.
Just thought I would mention it for those of you who use SunTrust.

Wow. SunTrust is offering points? I guess the sovereign debt crisis memo hasn't reached the masses. Always pay in cash. Flip off the central bankers.
