Fam, I have a question. Q: Do you buy rebated items?

1. If so, do you fillout the paperwork and mail in your rebate offers?

2. Do you ever get your rebate check?

I remember back in 1997 when I got a 100mb Zip Drive, I bought it from a warehouse store in Cali called Costco. i mailed back the rebate form and in 4 weeks my $20.00 check came in the mail. Since then, I have not recived shyt else.

I buy rebated items and mail in the forms and send the UPC code from the box and NEVER get shyt back from these broke ass companies. I think what they are doing is saling the information they gather from me to other companies to send me offers on shyt.

So, let me know...Curious in Cali.

BestBuy is good for that kinda shiznit...it really is starting to get on my nerves...WHY WHY can't i get a good price without having to wait for 3-6 mos to get a funky check back!

the first time i did it...i didnt send the box UPC....so they sent me back a letter saying that i didnt send everything. so i sent everything ....then they sent me somethin talkin bout i was TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!! wtf! and there's nothing u can do about it!!!!!!!!!!!

*when i send it off...i do get a check back though*

I've gotten rebates from AT&T when I purchased my phone.

I received a rebate back from OfficeMax. I haven't tried anywhere else.

They really make you work to get back your own money.

I usually get mine back, just recently I sent in for a rebate on those battery operated toothbrushes. I forgot the UPC codes(which i might add i threw away), anyway to make a long story short, they sent everything back to me to let me know I was missing the UPC codes. So my answer is yes, wine rebates, etc.:upretty

If I can't have the discount upfront...just forget it.
