They have these teaser rates from time to time, but I think that their products are horribly overpriced and the quality is decent, not top shelf. Plus, you really risk destroying the product if your freezer can't keep it properly frozen. The best case would be to use the steaks within a few days of receiving them.
Better yet, get a dry aged steak for about the same price at Wegman's or Whole Foods. The meat from Omaha Steaks is usually wet aged which is not bad, but once you have a dry aged ribeye you will never want to go back to "regular" beef again.
A slightly better deal, IMHO, are the Kansas City Steak Company products sold on QVC (leave me alone - they are a client). The shipping costs can be pretty high, but the steakburgers in particular are pretty good and the beef wellington is not bad either. I would, however, stay away from the filet mignon since they are very overpriced.
