My husband and I got $1200. Here is our plan: We don't have debt, smoke or have children so #1, #2 and #9 are out. Some will go toward a few small home improvements, some will go toward new tires for my CRV, and the rest will go into savings. We're adopting so I'm sure the money will be spend on things for the nursery.

You reply on my blog made me laugh! Yep, I was up early..with flying standby we have to check in 4 hours before the flight...to get on the list...and since I am awake..I check blogs and waste time til we need to leave. I do need more sleep though!
We are using our rebate for Phase 2 of the adoption...not what Uncle Sam probably intended!
Oh, have fun with the money preparing for baby!!! We haven't gotten ours yet! :o( not sure what is up with that?!
You have a CRV also, I see. Do you love it or what? I have a 2007 and love it and the new "shape".
Not sure what I'll do with my $600...probably save it.
I would love to spend it on something I actually want. Alas, it will be rolled over to pay next years taxes and the tax rebate will be spent on fertility/adoption stuff.
