They are absolutely SCUM.....
But that is the nature of business... to tax the lazy and uninformed..
Basically, I sent in two rebates recently, 1x for a motherboard $10, 1x for a corsair psu $20.
BOTH were rejected..
The motherboard rebate, rejected for missing invoice,
_________1 month ago, I bought the exact same motherboard, and used the exact same invoice link on Microcenter's site, and it was accepted.... Called 4myrebates, RESOLVED...
The Corsair rebate, site doesn't tell you anything, says your rebate's invalid, no reason provided....
________ I use online chat, tell them I have High Res photos of the material sent in,
2 second later, they approve the rebate for final processing...didn't even want to see my photos, no explanation provided....
so.. WTF.... you say... what was wrong .... ??
LET me enlighten you on how rebate centers operate...
THEY KNOW that there will be a percentage of people who will NOT call or follow up on a rebate..
So what they do is, automagically Invalidate a portion of their rebates regardless of legitamacy...
This way,,, they capture the maximum amount of the people who do not follow up within the response window they set in their policy...
It's a probabilities game that capitalizes on the disorganized and the lazy...
Relative to people like me, who will sue them over $10, essentially, Other people are sponsoring my consuming-computer-addiction...
Final Lesson_ Always take pictures, always CALL THEM, always GET ANGRY...
