The only winning move is not to play.

I hate the rebate game and agree with everything Ed says. But I play it because it is the only way we can afford some things and we have never gotten stiffed. It takes diligence, patience and we had to endure the frustration in chasing after some. The worst - AT&T wireless and Dell. The best - despite a tedious amount of paper work, Circuit City and Verizon.

It's not always the vendor's fault...[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#30)
by Anonymous User on Tue May 04, 2004 at 12:07:09 PM PDT

When I worked for a company years ago that offered rebates on some of its products, I was amazed at the number of people who couldn't properly follow instructions...and for those of you that would argue that the instructions were too complicated, here they are: 1) Fill out the rebate form (not the registration card) 2) Include a photocopy of the receipt (lots of people missed that one) 3) Mail to the rebate address (not the company address, not the address on the registration card, but the address ON THE REBATE FORM!) Every day we would receive claim form after claim form -- for those that were simply misaddressed we'd wait until we hand an envelope full and them forward them to the rebate house; the ones missing items were returned to the customer with a note telling them what was missing -- and all of this was done at our expense. 4) Please wait 6-8 weeks for rebate (I lost track of how many phone calls, letters and e-mails we got from people who couldn't grasp that 3 weeks is NOT 6-8, not to mention the people who'd screwed up the rebate claim and had it returned/redirected. Okay, rant over now... Anyway, I don't buy my products based on a rebate price but every time I've sent in a rebate, I've received it without having to complain. Am I lucky, or do I just follow the instructions properly? The world may never know...

While I've never worked in a rebate warehouse, but having worked in customer service, tech support and now IT, I can certainly attest to the fact that people don't follow directions AT ALL. It comes as no surpise, then, that this carries over to the rebate world.

The only time I even came close to losing a rebate was just about a month and half ago or so. Staples had a rebate on a Western Digital hard drive. I purchased the drive within the specified time frame, followed the directions to the letter, and within a couple of weeks, I received an e-mail stating that my rebate was disqualified.

Oddly enough, I didn't even have to put up a huge stink about it, either. I simply wrote to them and said "I'm writing to find out why my eligible rebate is being flagged as ineligible."

Within a week, I received a reply stating that while my rebate was mailed in outside of the allotted time frame, they would honor it anyway. My rebate was not mailed outside of the allotted time frame, but since I was getting my rebate (and I eventually did), I didn't put up a stink about it.

I wasn't the only one that got in on this rebate, and as it turns out, they tried pulling this stunt with others, as well. A clerical mistake? An attempted scam? Who knows?

Was it the 80GB drive for $20 after $60 rebate? I got that one. After sending everything in, I got a postcard saying my rebate for a CD/DVD burner was rejected. I almost laughed. I called the number and they quickly validated my rebate. I got the check this week. Makes me wonder how many of these little "issues" they had...

In the past year, I have submitted ten rebate forms for various products, all tech stuff. Eight of them, I've had to call at least two times to track down my rebate. I will never buy any product or service that involves a rebate. What a complete waste of time.
