Rebates (none / 0) (#4)
by Anonymous User on Mon Jan 24, 2005 at 10:13:26 AM PDT

The best experience I've had with a rebate was with Staple's last month - one of the employees actually walked me through all the steps using their web system, saying that the two rebates (both for an Averatec laptop) would arrive in approximately one month. No barcodes to clip, no tiny spaces for my name/address, no hassle.

And one month nearly to the day, I received the checks in the mail. Right now I'm comptemplating whether or not to bother with a $10 Linksys router rebate, where I would wait for two months or so to get the rebate. Maybe I'll just start buying more from stores that offer the Staples style rebate system. Better, faster, much easier.
