TomTom wants you to buy a new PND (personal navigation device) this holiday season. So much so, that they will buy your old device from you via a mail in rebate.
How does it work? Well, you buy a TomTom PND, then go to this website to complete the process. You’ll ship TomTom your old GPS (along with the appropriate form, of course) and then you’ll get your check in about 7-14 days. Pretty easy.

Interesting. Unfortunately, it looks like you have to buy your new unit FROM tomtom.com, which means paying ~$100+ for most models, compared to buying from Amazon. For that bump, it makes more sense to me to just keep my old one and buy it that way, or ebay it and save more.
I had a TomTom in the past. It was OK but as a rule, I don’t think they make the best portable gps systems out there. Garmin and Magellan are easier to use in my opinion. But buying the old unit back is a pretty good marketing plan.
