Yes, Circuit City is absolutely involved in bad business practices because they are ultimately responsible for their advertising regardless of who is signing the rebate check. I have three separate rebates and had not received reimbursement checks after 3 months. When I called the 1-800 numbers on the rebate forms EACH one of the call centers said they had not received my submissions. The submission letters were sent with USPS delivery confirmation and each one of the letters had indeed reached their destinations within a week. This means that the rebate centers throw away their mail, the rebate centers are lying about not receiving rebates or the post office is lying. I think that the rebate centers count on the consumer not keeping copies/ records of all of the rebate information and then saying that you are out of luck when it "vanishes" in the mail. If you don't report these fraudulent businesses then they will continue to steal. I have made such a report to the Better Business Bureau and will NEVER shop at Circuit City again.
