Seagate rebates, what a load of crap!!!

[MustISO]

What a pain in tha ass. I sent in my rebate 9/5/2004, the got my paperwork and verified everything on 9/29/04. To this day I have not received my check. I've called twice now and all they tell me is to be patient! What a load of sh!t!

Be patient, that's about the going time span for seagate. Hell, be thankful you'll probably receive it- I've had many just disappear...

Seagate takes about six months to process it.

i'm in the same situation. the last seagate rebate didn't take this long, iirc.

Bad thing is I have another one with them for $50. Says it's been approved and is ready for payment. Guess it'll be a nice gift when I get them in 2005.

Why would you invest so much faith in a rebate anyways?

They said a rep would call me back to let me know why my status hasn't been upgraded from qualified to shipped in the last 3 1/2 months. Sure. I'm calling on monday to let them know they're being reported to the BBB. Let's see how fast they'll have that check out.

I don't know why people bother with rebates....

 

[Steve]

Me either. Most likely Seagate has their rebates handled entirely by a third-party rebate house, thus it is out of their hands and out of their realm of liability.

And besides, what can the BBB do, really? Nothing, so long as Seagate doesn't acknowledge the complaint brought to them by the BBB.
