Time to start e-mailing on a daily basis. Hope they have a fast server;)

I sent my email. Hopefully I'll actually see my rebate check. I had written it off as uncollectable, but I'm encouraged by this new-found hope.

NO MIR should be considered "uncollectable";) It's just the level of effort necessary on the consumers part as to whether or not the $$$ comes. I've gotten ~80 MIRs over the past ~7 years with zero MIRs rejected in the end.

I've gotten about 20 MIRs in the last couple years. I only had to fight for my eVGA rebate on their 7800GT-mobo combo. I had assumed that I would not receive this one, since several other people had not received theirs and had not received responses to their emails. I did receive a read receipt from the email I sent to them, so we'll see what their response is.

When I sent the email to them, I attached images of all my documentation. I just sent the email yesterday and received this response today. I would encourage all of you to email them (sapphire@myrebates411.com) and send images of your documentation. Good luck!



Hi John,

You are qualified and you will be receiving a check. Somehow we sent out a check previously and it did not reach you. My guess it will take about a week or so because we send them out in batches and we are presently preparing a new batch.

I am sorry for the inconvenience. By the way, if somehow two checks show, please return one of them.

Sincerely,

R. D. Loye

That's the same guy I got a response back from ~10 days ago and still no word so I sent him another e-mail today with a PDF scan of all my documents to include a copy of the envelop complete with postage and the date mailed.

I haven't had to fight this hard for a rebate ever.

After sending my submission to Sapphire in a PDF, I got a response back in ~2 hours stating my MIR must have gotten lost in the mail.

The e-mail said I would receive my $$ in a few weeks.

Took some efforts, but looks like it turned out okay in the end.

I believe I received my rebate check this week. A rebate check arrived for $15; however, the check is not issued from Sapphire nor does the check indicate a product of any kind. I have ~6 rebates pending and I don't believe any other amount is for $15 so I guess it must be Sapphire.

I received my check last week. I have no other rebates pending, so this must be the Sapphire one. It's for $15 and says it's from E2E4PC.com, LLC.

Yep...that's the same one I received.
