Rebate check for returned item

[nycdude]

Hi all,

What would you do if a rebate check came for a item you purchased but later returned???

Has this ever happened to you?

Thoughts.

I once got a Rebate check for $200, when it was only supposed to be $100. Did the right thing by depositing it in the bank.

Only once & it was for $100:Q

I cashed that baby the same day, it was for a POS Toshiba PDA, E714 or something, it would lock up if you held it wrong out of the box. Only PDA I've ever returned for my $ back.

(Have a 1945 Ipaq coming today )

I always assumed that stores wouldn't take an item back if the UPC was missing, but, I guess if you complained loud enough...and if I had to go through all that trouble over a POS item I'd feel justified keeping the rebate.

Rebate places screw people all the time, as as well screw them when you can.

Some rebates dont require the UPC code. For instance, from Best Buy, the Samsung 712N had a 120$ rebate and a 50$ rebate. Only the 50$ rebate required UPC code. Although, since its a pretty great monitor for final price 250$ after all is said and done, I plan on keeping it.

The scales of justice have been balanced.


PS: I had a rebate rejected because it was sent in late even though I had 14 days to mail it and I sent it the day after I bought the product. I'm going back to the store to complain.

I don't recall ever having a rebate that didn't require the UPC so I never tried to return anything I sent a rebate in for...

I remember the Best Buy's CEO complaining about people who return stuff after getting the rebates...I thought Best Buy doesn't take stuff back w/o UPC

A few rebates only require a copy of the UPC.
