First Rebate Checks Deposited Today

According to Tax Girl, the first round of rebate checks will be deposited today, which is a few days earlier than originally promised. Based upon my husband’s SSN, it looks as though we’ll be getting ours next week.
I had originally planned to use ours to purchase a new bed for us (we’ve never had a new bed), but given my husband’s unemployment situation we may have to use it for bills.
What do you plan to do with your rebate?

We are buying a computer! The one I am using is 7 years old and ancient.
We’ll also use the money to do some home repairs.
Hopefully we can put a little away for a trip in the fall.

We are using ours to put a fence up in our back yard. The rest will go to pay off bills.

I won’t have too much fun with mine, unfortunately, but I’m still happy about it - I’m paying off two credit card debts (Chase & Target) and using the rest to make up a shortfall in my budget due to gas & grocery prices skyrocketing! However, maybe I’ll set aside a little for something for the house..?

making up for budget shortfalls :( We will be saving at least $500, though.
How can you tell by the social security number when you’re going to be getting it?

Has anyone gotten theirs yet? I’m waiting to hear at least one person has gotten it.

@Melissa - A new fence is a great idea. I need one too, but was hoping the home owners associate ignores the old one for one more year. Perhaps I have run out of excuses…

Since we are in the (01) category, so we should get ours this week. But I just checked & its not there yet. We are going to put it in the savings account w/our tax refund to remodel the kitchen as soon as DH has the time off work.
