Party pokers delay in these matters are baffling.It seems to me they try to hang on to the cash for as long as possible.I cannot fathom a company so big would infuriate some of it's more valuable customers in this way.I mean there is nothing to work out.They make the promotion,it is known well beforehand,what is so complicated about sending out the cash?
Interest on the money for a few more days?
I can't think of any other reason.

I worked in sales for a small, aggressive and extremely profitable company. Basically, we didn't hand out money (rebates) unless they were asked for, and even then we'd drag our feet. You'd be surprised how many hundreds of thousands of dollars a company can save, or at least delay until next quarter, this way.

Flip side is your customers hate you and leave as soon as someone else has a comparable product.

I dont think a company who made like 300 million last year is trying to get out of paying $20,000. Then again it is PArty.
