Have you ever gotten a rebate sent to you like this...

...with No Envelope? The guys at Maxtor just threw my $50 check in the mail with no envelope (they stamped the check!). I don't really care now that I have it in my hand, but I kind of have a problem with everyone handling the mail could see who the check was made out to and for how much. Now that I think about it, how would that stand in the FS/FT forums, if I just wrote out a check put a stamp on the check and mailed it to the seller? I can just imagine what my heatware would be like.

Has this happened to you?

thats just plain insane.....sounds like something WinWinWin would do....oh but wait...he actually includes envelopes..too bad the contents inside of it are usually ram and HD's!!

Wow - it wasn't a cheap "postcard" thing they sent you, was it?

I've received several checks that were really post cards. I don't remember which companies. I guess they wanna save the extra pennies per rebate...

 

[TranceNation]

TDK does that too, except they put over a thin sheet which is easily movable to see the value of the rebate

[whoops... how did I post this in the wrong thread?]

i have got one like that before, i thought my roommate had opened it already but he said it came in the mail like that. crazy.

Yes, I've gotten lots like that. It's scary because they look like junk mail and I can easily imagine me throwing one away without looking...

I got the "postcard" rebate before, and I think it's because the rebater is hoping you'll think it's junk mail and toss it out...
