3DFX rebate - someday?

Talk about scam, I sent in my $30 rebate form 3 months ago. Checked TCA's website (processing center) and it's long since been approved, but not slated to be sent until Jan 11th, 2001. WTF??!!! If you were suckered into this scam, too, and want to check status, harass them via email or phone, then here's the link

3Dfx has had financial difficulties as of late. Didn't you hear that they were bought out by nVidia last week? Besides, January 11th is only three weeks away. Be happy you have a chance of getting it at all.
 
I knew about 3DFX's demise on Friday and that is kind of what prompted my checking rebate status. This does not appear to be 3DFX's fault, though. The processing center blows.
 
Well its not just 3dfx, I've got rebates coming from PNY, Diamond, and a couple of others. PNY had been the longest, going on a year now. I sent the things certified, etc. Occasionally, I will email or fax to thier customer service. Computer peipheral rebates are the biggest scam. Thats why I hate best buy. Thats all they advertise. Of course they never tell you that only abouyt 25% of the people will ever see the rebates. The only rebate I have received to date was $30 I got back from ATI which took about 5 months.
