I\'m never purchasing something with a mail-in rebate again.
I buy the Logitech MX1000 a few months ago for whatever price and it included a $20 mail in rebate. I followed the instructions to receive the rebate to the letter. I go on their site today to check my rebate status and it says I'm not going to receive the rebate because I "failed to include the sales reciept." WTF? That's just [censored], the instructions were to send in two things (one of them being the sales reciept) and I of course did that. I sent their support an email but I can already feel this going south.
I know it's only $20 but the whole principle pisses me off. Anyone ever get burned by this bs before? |

You should ALWAYS make a copy of your reciept. ALWAYS. By the way, the rebates I mailed in so far worked out well.

Two different times I bougth a McAffee product with a mail in rebate. The first time they sent me some BS reason why I didn't get it. The second time they claimed to have sne me a check, but it never reached me.
When I have bought computers with a mail in rebate I made a copy of everythign I sent them and got delivery confirmation from the post office. |

i dont see why you would take the time to mail in the rebate in the first place.

WTF, for the free money!
Seriosuly, the only reason why I bought the mouse was b/c I felt it was such a good price. |

They sent me some postcard that said I didn't qualify. I called the number on the card to ask what was up. IIRC, I simply said I got a card and quoted some number that was on it. The guy tells me he has now processed my rebate I should be receiving your check within x number of days. The check arrived within the time stated. |

Re: I\'m never purchasing something with a mail-in rebate again.
I seriously think these are a scam and they remain profitable b/c of the people who never bother to file for the rebate AND a small percentage of people whose legitimate claims they don't approve. I think I found a worthy cause to fight for. I plan to blow the lid off this corrupt industry.
