Does anyone else hate REBATE cards/promotions?

Yeah, hate rebates too.  I can't count how many times I've purchased something because it had a rebate, only to send it in, wait several months, and then receive a letter in the mail that makes me feel like an idiot because it states I can't follow directions (when I know for a fact that I filled out and sent in all the right information).

If you paid by credit card, contact the credit card complany and cancel payment on the item.  That's the reason we use credit cards!  Once they realize they aren't getting their $$ I bet they start listening to you.\n\nSorry about your bad experience.

My personal experience with Chase is I got ripped off severely!!! In the future I will steer clear of any dealing whatsoever with Chase!!!!!!!!!!

Ewww yeah I don'e like those either.  I especially don't like the ones that are always on the seat and like rotate or something.  I tend to avoid those for fear that they aren't really new and the place is trying to save money!

I agree with you on that one!\n\nMy biggest pet peeve is crappy customer service. How hard is it to smile at a customer? I actually had an assistance manager take my food order yesterday, and I don't think she smiled once, or even sounded pleasant!

I don't know - some people will do anything to save 42 cents on Comet so they can buy a DVD they don't need.  I hate that store.  I would like to say I hate it mostly because of their business practices, but that's not the real reason.  The real reason is because the stores seem dirty, there are too many snotty-nosed filthy screaming children, and I feel like I need to shower as soon as I come out.  Of course, I've only been inside two (2) Wal*Marts, but that's enough for me, thanks.

Expiration dates on gift cards should be outlawed.  Easy money for companies that issue them.

I hate that I "win" stuff all the time and then the 30 minute surveys hit.  I say we protest for false advertisement.

Rebate section of what?

If this is the independence plus VISA stored value card that you are referring to then I would immediately cancel your membership and request your money back. It is a rip off and you can get all of their "benefits" either free or at the same price from their providers directly and not pay their $14.95 monthly membership fee.\n\nGood Luck

I think the formal concept is called tiered pricing. Oh, graduated or something like that.  Basically, they're taking away as much of the consumer surplus as possible by taking advantage of people's laziness of not sending in the rebates.  It's the same deal with those normal coupons that people like to clip.\n\nThey also get to keep your money for a little longer which helps them lower ARs.

It depends on the rebate. Look on the receipt....if it says you can do it online then you can but if it only gives a mailing address you can't

99%, but it takes FOREVER for them to return your rebates to you

Less than 10%.  Folks do not follow through and mail in the paperwork and proof of purchases on time.  Or, they don't follow the detailed instructions that come with each rebate.\n\nIt is very inexpensive to generate sales with mail-in rebate offers, when there is no follow through by the consumer.

YOU don't USE that one. The merchant/restaurant does. They just SWIPE your card and enter the amount and they get an approval or denial!
