Any rebates going on... CC? BB?

so if anyone knows any rebates before i purchase that would be awesome.

but as im just about to buy a TN
LG 20" or the Samsung 226BW
people are saying, S-IPS Is the way to go...
so now im all flustered and dont know what to do.
Ehh... should I go for it? After seeing the backlight bleed on the 22 inch, i think this may have to suit me for my gaming and photography stuff....
