I purchased a PNY GeForce 4 Ti4400 2 1/2 weeks ago. It had a $40 rebate,
which I sent in.
This weekend I got an email from the Rebate company saying that it had been
received, was valid, and in processing. It also stated that I could receive
my check within 30 days.
Now THAT's how a rebate should be done.
I was really rather astonished :)

Same thing with my Xtasy card. Rebate check came two weeks after email :)

Early this year I got rebates for N2k2, my Nvidia video card by
visiontek and some blank cd's. The Sierra rebate showed up first, then I
got a letter saying I waited a day or two too long to mail in the cd
rebate..and just about late June the Visiontek rebate showed up.
I'd almost forgotten about that one it took so long.

Media rebates are the WORST!
I've probably sent in 50 of them over the years, and I think less than half
of that ever came back. But, the amound is so small, it's not worth
fighting over. They know that. Bastards...
I recently purchased six 50-pack's of Fuji CDR's for $4.99 after rebate. I
sent in all six on the same day, each in an individual envelope.
I've seen TWO come back.

Around here most weekend flyers contain no actual sale prices anymore...
just "after rebate" prices or "everyday low prices".
It's to the point now where I usually refuse to be swayed by the rebate
price and base my purchase on the real price... the rebate is just "found
money" if it ever shows up :-/
