Please review the above thread that has been locked. There's nothing to my knowledge in this post that goes against your rules.

www.wheresmyrebate.com is CompUSA's online rebate tracking and submission system - NOT a coupon code site.

And the list of items is SKUs, not coupon codes.

Please reactivate this thread or tell me why it was locked.

If they're really that petty, I don't really care.
Why is heaven's name would a computer hardware site want to treat its users like a bunch of little children... Pathetic.

Could it be that the mods locked it because They're supposed to be only giving the rebates with purchase of a system. When you purchase the item at CompUSA, the register rebate says "This rebate requires an additional purchase" and you're trying to get them without any purchase and the mods consider that to be promoting something illegal or at best questionable?

Hmm, I didn't see them mess with the Target stackable coupon for gift cards trick. According to Target's cancellation email, the coupons clearly state that they are not to be applied to gift cards, but their internet system somehow allowed it. Also not exactly kosher.
