REBATES SUCK
missioncontrol:
rebates through Tiger Direct are the worst.....
I have some rebates I never got back even with all my calling and complaining.
Therefore I never order through Tiger Direct..........
RayB:
Don't blame the store..... they don't mail out the rebates.
FUTURE SHOP (canadian store owned by Best Buy) often has what it calls "in-store rebates". You get the rebate instantly at the cash register. I can't complain about that!
When it's mail-in, that's usually a manufacturer rebate. So it's gonna be different with every manufacturer. Can't blame the store.
I sent in an ATI rebate. Two months later I got a notice saying my graphics card wasn't eligible! But when I checked online, it said they had sent a check! So I called them up and they said that the "problem" had already been corrected even before I called. And sure enough, the very next day my check was in my mailbox.

I was having this problem also. I got mad enough about the hard drive.
straw that broke my back.
They told me to call them from now on, and they sent me the check
I will give them one last chance. If they can get my refund for me .well then OK!

The store does adverise it at the rebated price......
Chris:
Rebates are so bad that I don't even consider rebates that aren't in store.
