date it one day prior. They will deny it. You call them back and bitch them out. They send check

I did two rebates for Circuit City 3 days late and got them both back (one for $80, one for $20).

I sent a rebate in one day late and a few weeks later I got a postcard telling me that my rebate was rejected for that reason. That was $50 stupidly lost.

I dunno, but from what I've heard here, some companies will look for any excuse to deny a rebate.

I am willing to bet that they won't accept it. Companies exist to find reasons not to pay rebates. Good luck!

150, nice!
that's a hell of a good rebate!

i would do that right away after i got it 🙂

Half of mine get rejected when they are valid anyways. I expect to get rejected

I know..i'm soooo stupid!!! And my tire blew out this weekend so there went another 110 for no reason. I just want to beat my head against the wall....!!!

BTW, the company is Amazon...they are usually nice with their rebates right??? sigh.

Get the mailroom at your company to back date it for you 😛

I've sent one rebate late--no luck.

Had to chat with a rep for Fuji rebates because they were 1 month behing on 3 6 dollar rebates for CDR's. I emailed them last week and they never responded. He informed me that they just received them the week before, 2 were approved and one was rejected (WTF they were on the same form) He said he would do me a favor and approve the other one as well (The check is in the mail basically)

Next time I am going to start bugging them on day 21

That's it commit mail fraud for $150.

If this idea wasn't bad enough, you want her to do it at her company so they get implicated too.

Great advice.
