rebate

I just got "rejected" on my $75 "rebate". Reason? None! Gave up trying to call after being on hold for 30 minutes, will try again on Monday. I sent in one barcode from the box, the one that said "UPC", to keep the letter weight under one ounce. Which one did they want? All of them? The rebate company is TCA Fulfillment Services, Inc and they seem to handle most rebates. They recommend registering with them. When I did, a rebate for a DVD burner was approved within minutes, even though I sent it in 4 weeks ago! I bought the Senergy714 from NewEgg, the DVD burner from VideoGuys. I hope the rest of you don't also receive a nasty surprise in your email!

Rebates are a scam. I firmly believe that a rebate company will work a contract with a product company to provide a rebate service for a product claiming that only a certain number 'statistically' ever get claimed. If too many get redeemed its the rebate company that eats it and not the product maker. Hence, the rejection you just received. Scam Scam Scam.
