So if it actually does get sent off on May 30, it will have been almost 4 months for this rebate. This is ridiculous.

LOL I was just about to post asking where the heck the rebates were! I also got acceptd what seems like months ago, but it has still not been mailed. Should be here within a week or 2 if it gets mailed out on the 30th. Thanks for the update.

I got the $50 rebate a month ago and was also told the $160 rebate would be mailed on the 30th... The monitor just plain rocks for the money, I could not be happier with it. I just wish the $160 rebate was sent in 8 weeks as it says on the form.

Same here. I'd call wheresmyrebate.com on Monday, but seeing how little that accomplished last time, it's probably not worth the effort.

Well, I decided to call wheresmyrebate.com and now they are saying that my rebate won't be sent out until June 27. Pushed back almost another month. F**kers!

Exactly. Every time I have called them, they have been nothing but rude to me. I normally don't do this, but I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau against TCA Fulfillment Services, which operated wheresmyrebate.com. The BBB file on them is pretty bad. They have clearly broken the law by not delivering the rebate within the time specified on the rebate.

one of mine was send out yesterday. 7-10 days.

THE OTHER ONE IS NOT IN THEIR SYSTEM!!!!1

they told me to re-submit the info, so i have a copy of the UPC and the RECIEPT, but NOT A COPY OF THE $160 REBATE FORM.

IF YOU HAVE $160 REBATE FORM COPIED PLEASE SEND IT TO ME. I REALLY NEED IT FOR THE $160 BACK!!! i'd be so happy :)

The good news is that I received my $160 rebate in May.
The bad news is that I didn't jump on this fast enough to get the $50 one.
Like many of you, they had no record of my submission.
I had to fax a copy of the submission and receipt to BOTH BestBuy and the rebate company.

I just called the BB 800 number about the rebate, and they are going to bill the mfr for the rebate and send me the money. It will still take a month, but I think they are more responsible then vpr matrix. 4 months is ridiculous.

I did the same thing with my rebate. BB is now handling it, re-sent all the info to BB and they said it would take 21 days...

My g/fs rebate is still "approved" on wheresmyrebate.com but no update on when it will be mailed.

According to wheresmyrebate.com, my rebate has been sent. This is definitely a good development. Hopefully everyone else here will get theirs mailled soon.

one of mine was sent.

another to a dif. address of mine has now been re-submitted to best buy, thanks to Branded hooking me up with the UPC code copy. And the other person who gave me a copy of the rebate form!

thanks guys.

This is bull!@$% I called the wheresmyrebate a two months ago they said the rebate would be mailed 6/14. I called today they said is was moved back to 7/11. Is this fraud or what?

After I calmed down I called BestBuy. They said that I could resubmit the forms to them.

Does anyone have a copy of their UPC code. Please PM me. Thanks!

My $160 rebate check came today, surprisingly. Still no word on the lesser of the two, but I'm exhausted.

My $160 check came today too. I noticed that the check came from a bank in Lake Lillian, MN which is only 4 hours away from me. I waited 4 months for a check from a bank 4 hours away. I know that it's not a big deal and I've gotten many rebate checks from this bank in the past, but the irony of it all....

No sign of the $50 one but I'm assuming it got "lost" like most everyone else's here.

At least I'm happy with the monitor.

those people who seem to of had their $50 check lost.....did you actually purchase it before they pulled the rebate off their website/changed the expiration date or were you just using the copy hosted with the original purchase date? Just trying to see how so many people have lost their checks....Best Buy is usually very prompt with all of their own rebates, I dont see why this would be any different.
