LOL. So my friend sees me last night stapling and scanning receipts so that I can send them in for rebates and he's making jokes about how lame it is.

Well, I tell him that's how I can get all the great deals and of course checks in the mail all the time but it's kinda of annoying to do all the work for rebates. I told how much time it takes and the hassle involved and how they reject rebates that are valid and I tell him everything I can think of to get the "hot deals."

So today we were hanging out with some of our lady friends and he starts calling me the "Master-Rebater."Of course we all thought it was funny but I don't want top be known as the "Master-Rebater" and I certainly don't want girls caling me that.

Do you have any family members of friends that tease you because all the hoops you jump through for deals and would you consider yourself a Master-Rebater? Do you know all there is to know about the rebate process? New Rochelle from Miami, to Arizona and Young America?

They sure in hell don't tease me. Instead they come to me when they are looking for deals on stuff and I point them in the right direction.

My problem is that I am a MasterProcrastaRebater. I end up putting it off until it is too late to claim. :frown:

Thise are the worst! You can't fall into a habit and put off your rebates! There are deadlines to be met and you'll never get your money back!

Or when you lost the stupid form after it's been pulled off the net.

Two critical things to remember:
1) The checks you get have already been spent on the original purchase. It's not income.
2) Is it really worth your time, especially considering that some people, like me :eek: who would buy FAR items that I don't even need!

Anyhow, better to be called MasterRebater than Masturbator! (not that there's anything wrong with that.)
