Report on dealing with ANTEC concerning Rebates

I wanted to report a very pleasant (so far) experience with Antec concerning a $20 Rebate on the purchase of their SX830 case.

Last December 1st I called Antec Customer Service to verify that the offered $20 Rebate would apply to more than one case if I purchased two from The Outpost in order to get the FREE SHIPPIING. I was told that YES I would get a $20 Rebate for each of the two cases I planned on buying. The deal would have been nixed if I would have been told anything else.

Well, it took a long time but last Friday or Saturday I received a $20 Rebate from TCA Fulfillment Services. There was only one. I figured I?d wait a few days for the second to arrive even though they were mailed in together. Well when there was no second check yesterday I decided to call the 800 Rebate support line. I couldn?t get through ? the line was busy all day. I tried again about an hour ago and got their phone to ring. I never got to talk to a person but they referred me to their website. The website showed the two Rebates. Only problem was that one of them was DENIED due to a limit of ONE. :|

I called Antec Customer Service and spoke to STEVE. After explaining to him my situation he had me hold on for a while and then asked me if it would be all right if he called me back in a little while. I said OK.

About 10 minutes later I get a phone call from STEVE who told me that he was the one that spoke to me back in December and he remembered telling me that I would be entitled to two Rebates. (I had no idea with whom I spoke back in December and was expecting to be asked that question. I need to start making notes about phone calls such as this from now on.). He admitted that he was under the impression that there was no limit on the number of rebates and only found out that there was a limit some time later. He said he was going to speak to his supervisor and see if he could get me the rebate.

Now, I don?t know if I?m going to get the $20 Rebate to which I am entitled but I have to tip my hat to STEVE and his honesty. That says a lot about Antec as a company to me.

Edit: Sorry, I meant this as a reply to the REBATE THREAD but got mixed up after composing it and placed it in the wrong place. If a MOD would move it I would be appreciative.
 
that's cool, i think you just found a nice rep. , if only each rebate center was full of them, but the truth is they are few and far between.

rebates are very nearly more of a pain then they are worth. I know quite a few people here who will not get in on a deal if a rebate is included.

I am almost at that point myself. I keep scanned copies of everything and yet I still dont get some rebates, I could if i called enough times I guess i would get it in the end, but the effort to get back a $10 rebate is not always worth it.

I had this same conversation with Steve. I waited several days for a call back, but never received one. I called back and again spoke to Steve. He said sorry, he had spoken to his supervisor and he could not do anything about the rebate for my second case. Smokeball, if you have any better luck please post the results.

just got my $20 back from antec from about 3 months ago. bad - but I still haven't got the $50 from best buy thanksgiving day vid card.
 
rayjayturbo,

If that happens to me I think I will talk to the supervisor. I'll let you know.
 
antec is a standup company. my case bezel door broke on my sx1030 and i e-mailed them about it after hearing about someone in a similar situation on this forum. they sent me an entire new bezel free of charge (not even shipping).
 
does it typically take the full 3months to get rebates back on those sx830 cases? I love mine, and it's honestly worth the $80 w/ the XP303 or whatever PS that is that's in it...but man...I'm kinda wonderin' if that rebate is EVER going to come! 😀

is 3months the normal experience for most of you?

God Bless

I just got my rebate from the case I bought in late November. I couldn't find any info on wheresmyrebate.com and have been calling them for over a week, during which time the line was busy or their system was "down." i'm really glad the check arrived, because they were no help and antec would not respond to my eamails. Outpost said it wasn't their problem. 14 weeks.
