From an rebateshq email:

Tracking Results: Rebate Submission Detail
Rebate: Variable Reward
Rebate Information For: xxxxxxxxxxxx
Promotion: $150 Rebate with Purchase & Activation of Select Wireless Products with a new, one-year (minimum) service agreement of a $39.99 or higher voice plan from the designated service provider at Amazon.com
Submission Type: ON-LINE
Date Received: 01-13-2006
Status Detail: Invalid.
Invalid Reasons: Product is wireless invalid


They changed the wording on the promotion. It was never called "Select Wireless Products" it was "select cell phones & services." And wtf the wireless invalid? Can't they write a little more detail and in better English?

Crap. I'll be calling the rebate office after work tonight. And if that doesn't work then I'll file a complaint at Better Business Bureau and call one of the local TV news offices and see if they'll track it down.


Anyone have a similar problem with Amazon not honoring their cell phone rebates?

For $150, I hope you at least took a photo of the documents you sent in.
