I totally understand what you mean. Im knee deep in awaiting rebates.

1. 40 $ rebate on an office chair
2. 10 $ rebate on a 9200 SE for an older machine
3. 14 $ rebate on a universal remote
4. 20 $ rebate on a P-touch labeler
5. 20 $ rebate on a crappy 2.1 speaker set for x-box (free after rebate)
6. 30 $ rebate on a bundle of LOTR for xbox and a controller (free after MIR)
7. 4 x (THATS RIGHT FOUR) 50 $ rebates on two WD 120 gig ATA hard drives (got my friend to fill out the second one as its only 1 rebate per household)
8. 20 $ rebate on computer acoustic 2.1 speaker set (also for an older machine)
9. 10 $ rebate on a wireless linksys router


SO yeah thats a bit of rebates coming my way

im in a bit of a hurry but i think thats around 400 $ in rebates?

be patient!

Chances are, you will get a few notices back in the mail, 1 day before the rebate date, saying that you did not complete the form correctly. Rebates are the epitome of everything that is evil in Capitalism.

Maybe I am overly optimistc and just plain lucky.........

........but I have submitted well over 50 rebates in the past 3 years and have yet to *NOT* receive one.
I have *ALWAYS* received rebates I submitted.
