Is it unethical to buy another one of the defective product you cut out the UPC for, and return the defective one in the new one's box?

Yes.

Well how else do you expect them to be able to prevent you from claiming a rebate while returning the product?

exactly. This is common business practice and common sense.

for $$$. Exchange was requested not $$ back. Obviously not trying to get both the rebate and money back, just a product that works. Thus no rebate AND 30 day warranty- pick one or the other.

Your recourse is to deal with the manufacturer warranty policy in that case. I fail to see the issue.

Don't try to abuse the (established) system and use common sense. This is a non-issue from the get-go.

In this case, you really should go through the manufacturer for an RMA. They should be more than willing to help you.
