Something rotten in Denmark -- or New Jersey, or Minnesota

I am a suspicious old bird. I have several outstanding Circuit City rebates that are long overdue -- even by the s-l-o-w standards of rebate fulfilment centers. I went to their web rebate center and find in the listing under my name and address rebates listed for Direct TV ($60), MOT modem ($50) and others for items I never purchased and for which I never applied for nor received rebates. Those are in addition to the ones I am legitimately entitled to and never received either. I think it is a safe bet that the companies sponsoring those rebates have been billed for and paid for all of those sizable rebates. This is a different complaint than the usual one of not getting a rebate you are entitled to -- which I am complaining about. Has anyone else gone to www.circuitcityrebates.com and found a whole bunch of rebates listed under their name, supposedly sent to them that they never applied for and never got?


Post Script
Sorry folks. I thought I was posting in the other thread. I don't mind the flames, but it was a mistake none the less.

Gustavus,

Try this Linkand see if you get different results. This link lists only rebates that belong to a certain name. The search on the first page lists rebates belonging to people with the same home number and zip code and I think their system just puts the name of the first person found on top of the results.

Yes, the CC rebate status site is really messed up. I had the same experience and I have heard others mention it in the rebate thread either here or at FW. I don't even try to use it. I don't know if anyone has complained to them about it or not. I think CC has handed over their rebate processing to another company since I am seeing a different address on newer rebates.

I know threads like this have been locked and some have been moved BUT I think these kind of threads belong here as a warning that some of the hot deals that depend on rebates to make them a hottie are not so hot if the rebate never gets paid, this is happening all to often anymore.
