Excuse me, ask my wife about Zotac. You have to stay on them to finally get your rebate. They literally will try to get out of it if you don't bug them enough. And i'm not the only one. Someone above posted they had a bad Zotac rebate experience as well. So no, its not simply because I want to put them down. I simply wanted others to know that they are tricky and can even be shady. I just want them to honor their stinking rebates without having to push them to do so.
If they can't/don't want to pay it, then don't offer it.
Thats fine. I respect your experience. For me, as I stated above, some comments seem strange since I have done around 5 rebates with them from 5 different video cards in the last 8 months. If I have positive experiences with them after 5 rebates, and you or others have negative experience with 1 rebate, something seems wrong here. I am a bit skeptical when I read peoples stuff on the internet.
And in my cases, I did not in any way have to "stay on them" to finally get my rebates. Their rebate center is run by only one guy I think but he is very friendly. It only took a single email to them which was replied to within 10 hours to get my rebates in the mail the next day.....
Actually the very first rebate I ever did with Zotac after reading negative comments, I actually received within about 3 weeks from submitting it. None of the other rebates after were near that speed though.
Also, half of their newer rebates go through 4myrebate.com which is a third partly site and handle many various brand and product rebates. The rest go through their own processing center(I guess?), like this GT 430.
