Called Behr Paints rebate number. They said to go and deposit/cash the check and it would be honored. Called Advance Auto Parts - they said not to cash the check as it would most likely bounce. They said that they would be sending replacement checks out within 30 days and to call if check was not received. I am sure I will have to call..........

Does anyone know if eVGA is involved in this cluster f***? I got in on Fry's eVGA 9600gt SSC for $120.00 minus $59.00 rebate and bought a pair. That was two months ago. You send the rebate info directly to eVGA. I have to say their customer support is top notch and their looking into it however the last email I recieved from them on Friday requested varification of my mailing address. C'mon, I have at least a half dozen products (graphics cards, motherboards registered with them all under the same address) but its cool. I'm sure they'll make good. I'm waiting on the outcome of this to determine if I go with eVGA's X58 board or back to Asus I go...

See if the information from above applies:
"The easiest way to see if you are affected, is to check copies of rebate materials you have submitted recently, which have not yet been fulfilled. You keep copies, right? Take a look at the destination address. The department and name of the recepient will vary depending on the brand of the product that carried the rebate, but the address will most likely have the following in it:
P.O. Box 52900 (or P.O. Box 52911)
Phoenix, AZ 85072-2900
CPG main website for checking upon your rebate is www.rebatestatus.com. If you see this site as point of contact on the rebate, you may be affected."

Thanks for the heads up 
.
I just recieved an email from Kyle @ eVGA saying they apologize for the inconvenience and are cancelling the old check and reissuing a new one. They really are a great company. All vendors are good as long as everything goes smoothly. It's not until you have a problem and how it's resolved, that determines how great (or terrible) they are to do business with.

For all rebates checks that bounced from Zerotherm www.zerotherm.net or Megavision - www.megavisionsys and issued by Continental Promotion Group (CPG) - www.rebatestatus.com
They can be reached by calling 866-550-0822, there is a bunch of menu's to go though till someone finally answers.
Mail a copy of you bank statement - use a marker to blackout checking account numbers. and a letter noting the bounced check+your bank fee to:
CPG
P.O. Box 52901
Phoenix, Arizona 85072
Att: Customer Service
They are aware that 100's of check's are bouncing and will issue refunds, you do not need to resubmit your rebate back to megavision as i was originally told by newegg.
The attorney general office in Arizona is aware of this and a class-action lawsuit is pending.
If you haven't cashed your CPG check, don't, photocopy it and send it the above address for a valid check.
Personally, companies that offer rebates do so for the sole purpose of hoping you won't mail in the rebate or they can find some way to deny it even if it means bankruptcy. Just another scam to rip someone off. I won't be buying anything with a rebate from here on, it's just too much of a hassle to wait 12 weeks for a lousy $10 check.
edit-when sending in the claim, be sure to include
* short letter outlining the problem, don't be rude
* printout of the invoice
* copy of rebate form filled out
* copy of bank statement about the "Stop Payment" check and the bank fee-be sure to marker out account numbers and other totals
* copy of the front and back of the returned check
mailed in my claim for the $10 rebate check + $20 bounce check fee, will let you know what happens.

AFAIK, all eVGA rebates are handled by www.rebateshq.com and are paid via post card checks.
The CPG rebates come as actual checks that you have to tear three sides off to open.
Seems like you're just creating more trouble for yourself, as there are no issues with the rebate house handling eVGA rebates.Originally posted by: Elvis2

Received a rebate from Cannon along with a letter. Seems that they were using this outfit, but made good on the rebate anyway. Assured me that the check was OK to deposit.
Whew! It was for $125!

Well this is funny, I emailed BFG and they told me to send my rebate to WordWide Rebates and not BFG.
What do you do if you have already sent in the form, but have not recieved any check? --this pertains to BFG rebates.
ok. I just got a email notification from rebatestatus that my BFG rebate submission was received (weird coz I sent out the rebate in October and it takes 2 months??). The expected mail date for the check is in Feb'09. What should I do when I receive the check? Notify BFG to swap the check??

BFG came through for me. Sent in a $40 MIR for a BFG 800W PSU about two days before this hit the fan on 11/11/2008. I was kissing the $$ goodbye, no reply at rebatestatus.com, no luck finding submission on website. Got an email a couple of days ago from WorldWideRebates.com acknowledging receipt of rebate & 6-10 more weeks of waiting. Complete with PDF's of my documents.

I've been waiting since July of last year for my Antec rebate. I resubmitted the required info as directed by the reps @ Antec on two different occasions (end of November & end of December). Still nothing here....I did call and spoke with an Antec rep who assured me the checks would be coming out at the end of Jan beginning of Feb so I can just hope mine is on the way even though it's already March.
Anyone with questions about your rebate with Antec should contact Melissa Moore (mmoore@antec.com) for status info.

Well, I think I shouldnt depend on my BFG rebate. I have been trying to get word from BFG and they said they are working it out, then one week later they are playing the dumb game and treat me as though they never received emails from me concerning my rebate.
This is the last time that I buy through BFG if this is how they treat me.
XFX ALL THE WAY!!!

Antec: I had sent my rebate info to Ms. Moore in early November, both per attachment and in hard copy, and nothing for four months. Finally put it a BBB complaint with threat to go to State Attorney's office and FTC, and voila, they ponied up. In other forums, there is confirmation that that is about the only way to get them to honor the rebate.
An update
My rebate was also affected by the CPG debacle. Of course, they did not do anything else after receiving my rebate submission. I was pretty patient and I waited till the 12 weeks before contacting BFG directly. I attached my rebate submission to them and within a week, they issue me a rebate check.
^to Andrew: try contacting them again and be nice and courteous. I am sure they will try to make it for you.
