Rebates

[ladyspur]

Why do they take so long to receive them? 4-6 weeks ends up being 4-6 months.

So they can hold on long enough to your money to make more money

rebates rock.

i got like 400 or 500 dollars back when i bought my laptop.

I like to think of it this way: You'll forget all about the rebate, so when they get around to sending it to you, you will be surprised and elated to get a nice check in the mail.

mail in rebates suck they make interest off your money while they have it for those extra few months.......

off tangent sidebar: it reminds me of when I was at Tech in the bursar's office to pick up my loan check.........they had like two people working to hand out checks which made the line of students go out the office door, down the hall and out the building door......seriously, it was at least an hour wait.....

meanwhile, they had about ten people working the tuition payment line..........you could walk right up, pay and be gone all in 5 minutes.......

This scumbag that's married to my wife's cousin goes to places like Rent a Center and Aaron's to rent a computer. They give him a brand new one, and he mails in the rebates. Returns the computer to the rental place after a month, and rakes in the rebate checks. He's picked up like $600 that way.

Yeah...I'm on my way to Aaron's right now!

Or maybe we can send that dude who got the ticket for driving with no lights...he could use the rebate to pay the fine!
