Has anyone heard anything about the I-O data rebates. I'm getting pretty fed up with it. Anyone have a phone number we can call to starting complaining?

I would suggest that everyone call and get the status on the rebates. I just called, and sure enough, they cannot find anything on either of the 2 rebates I sent in. The call now goes into Tiger to get my $30 and $20 rebates... I do recall someone saying from Tiger that we WILL get the rebates, I need to find this guy's info.

I still haven't gotten my rebate.:|
I called both TigerDirect and IO Data.
Christine, at IO Data support, couldn't find my info in the system.
She claimed there were about 400 that weren't entered, and took my number saying she'd call back.

:disgust:
Why aren't they processing the rebates? Are they hoping people will forget and keep our money? :| :|

Of course they are. That way if you forget, they don't pay you. If you remember, they probably won't pay you. If you become a legal threat, then they pay you and no wrong was done.

Don't you guys know the drill by now?

That's exactly what they told me as well. I talked to that same lady and she also said she would be calling me back. I will be calling back every day until my rebate comes! They WILL be getting sick of me!

I'm glad some of you have gotten your rebates.
I still don't have mine. :|

I called IO-Data again. Christine now claims they'll receive a new batch of rebate checks and will
send out this Friday.
She mentioned a lot of people sent in copies of their email as the "original receipt from Tiger direct". IO Data
had wanted the packing slips but will honor the rebate..
:confused:

So I guess it's wait another week and see. :disgust:

Latest status: apparently, they're sitting on about 1000 pending rebates! The support person Christine claims they're waiting for more rebate checks from corporate headquarters. (and yes.. hoping they'll be handled in a week. Yeah right, I wouldn't count on it.)
:disgust:
This is ridiculous.
IO Data sucks.
TigerDirect sucks. Why run the offer if they're not even going to follow through?
Avoid both of these companies. Buy your gear elsewhere.

Those of you who still haven't received your $30 I-O Data rebate, just email Bruce (info above) with your order number and pertinent info and he will take care of it.

I emailed him a few days ago and the next day I was CC'ed from an internal Tigerdirect email to someone, possibly in accounting, with orders to issue me the $30 credit.

Now that's a company that stands behind their customers' interests. He further said that they no longer deal with this vendor. Thumbs up for Tigerdirect.com.
