What is the most money you have ever had out on mail in rebate?

[Mallow]

In an effort to make myself feel a little better about my shopping spree I was going to ask everyone what the greatest dollar amount in rebates they have ever had outstanding? I personally am at an all time high of $430 out on MIR. When I was spending it, it didn't sound like a lot, but to have almost half a grand out on rebates, well, that is starting to seem just silly

So, I open it up... how much have you had out? Please, no exaggerating. Lets be honest.

$700 on one item, but it was three seperate rebates in one. A $100, a $200, and a $400.

 

[Supermercado]

Right after Black Friday, I had somewhere around $230 or so, spread over several items, though. The checks are starting to come in now.

Around 650.00 at 1 time. Got 2 iPaqs and a laptop all with multipul rebates. They all came in.

Me? About $700 myself at the current moment which break down as follows:

$50, $30, $30, $30, $50, $100, $150, $60, $30, $10 ... and probably a few others. Thank goodness for scanners because I have everything all scanned and backed up.

I have $720 out right now for my Toshiba Laptop. $200 from Toshiba, $200 and $300 from Best Buy, and $20 from Linksys.

 

[Viper GTS]

$130 for my 2000JB.

I will soon have $250 out on a Samsung S105 from Amazon.

I hate rebates, but to get the S105 for $50 I was willing to deal with them.

I don't mind rebates... you just have to be patient and organized

Had $150 out a while back.

About that exaggerating - $430 isn't almost a $1,000

but to have almost have a grand out on rebates

lol, that makes no sense. The second have = half, ahh, better.
