Did I mess up my possibility of getting a Dell rebate?

[OfficeLinebacker]

So I took advantage of a pretty good deal ftom the Hot Deals forum a few weeks back. I asked a question about it and then a bunch of people posted non-helpful information and veiled threats on the thread.

Anyone else had this problem?

Oh wait, I forgot. This is ATOT.

Yeah

 

[Vegito]

did you put ur name on the rebate ? when I do the rebate through SBS, it has my work and my name on it and they make it out to me.. not the company..

 

[OfficeLinebacker]

On the rebate form? I will put my name on it, yes.

I'll double check.

so basically you are admitting you committed fraud

nice, i think someone here works for dell, no i remember someone here lives in young america and works at that place that does ALL the rebates for 90% of all companies

if you want to commit fraud, you need to cover all your bases.

btw, to answer ur question... i think a few years ago, i did the same thing. however, for company name, i put in the name of the company i work for (school actually). rebate came in, and i do not recall having any problems cashing it.

for future reference, u might wanna take these types of questions to fatwallet :light:

LOL

Looks like Dell's rebates are processed in AZ--so the OP is safe!

Phew, close one.

If you guys haven't knoticed, 99% of the time people post about their fraudulent activities online, nothing gets done about it - big deal, nobody cares, even if someone from dell reads the forum, what are the chances he/she is a crybaby snitch?

Dell doesn't care if you order from small business without using a business name. As a non-business owner, how else would I have ordered my Latitude instead of a crummy Inspiron?

You might, however, have given them a reason to deny the rebate if they verify (highly unlikely) or if the mail gets returned (tape a small note for your mail carrier inside the mailbox that says "Accepting mail for [Fake, Inc.]" in order to prevent that from happening--when you receive the rebate, remove the note).

I think you'll get the rebate if it's an allowed deal, and you did everything else right.

Got the rebate check today and it was made out to me! Whooah!
