So Antec stopped payment on my rebate check

[acole1]

Recourse?

I emailed the rebate company and Newegg, but haven't heard back. Anything else I should do?

You mean they stopped payment on it?

 

[acole1]

yes.. fixed

 

[her209]

Did they give you a reason why?

 

[acole1]

Nope, my bank just said they stopped payment and they are sending the check back to me.

How do I know what company it is through? The email address the verification came from is "Antec@cs.rebatestatus.com" and the website to check the status is "rebatestatus.com".

Edit:
Yeah if I go to www.cpginc.com and go to their check rebate link and it pushes me to rebatestatus.com

Thanks! That answers a lot of my questions.

Antec has always been cool with me. I would call them and see what they can do.

WTF!?!? How does a rebate company go bankrupt? Its not exactly like your sending more money to people than they gave you in the first place.

Maybe that's their business model. Get a contract from Antec for cheap, and bank on the hope that not many people will send in the rebate request.

thats what a lot of companies do...offer rebates and hope nobody sends them in. youd be surprised how many people 'forget' to fill out the forms and send stuff in.
