Well, it got even worse dealing with them before it got better.
When I first received the e-mail that my rebate was being denied, the reason that accompanied it was that I supplied the UPC from a CD-RW, not the DVD drive. I responded and told them they were incorrect, that i didn't own their cd-rw, and would happily take a photo of the box I cut the upc out of so they could match the upc i sent them like a puzzle piece. I heard absolutely nothing for the next two weeks, so after seeing that MysticMan1 had the same trouble with them, I checked on the status.
Now they claimed I had not sent the rebate forms in on time. I called, spoke with a woman with a thick mexican accent who barely tried to argue with me when i stated my case, and approved the rebate.
I've dealt with Rebateshq.com only once before, and it was just as big of a pain in the a55 then as it was this time. Is this just their business model? To offer rebates, deny them all outright, and only grant them once the buyer complains? I swear that these guys seem SO shady, I seriously doubt I'll take advantage of any rebate that involves dealing with them.
