Rebates are theft. The company that is issuing a rebate could more easily do it as an instant rebate at the store at the time of purchase. The dealer already has an account it can easily be refunded to them. No fuss no muss. So why not. Because the company that wants a mail in rebate is counting on a certain number of you to forget to send it in or lose it and don't want to go through the trouble to file for it.

The other most troubling aspect is to slow walk your rebate for one or two months. They keep your money for two months and don't pay any interest. I'd love to borrow several million dollars for two months at no interest. Let me tell you, they wouldn't loan you 75 dollars at no interest for two months.

So as far as I am concerned that is theft. I don't do mail in rebates. They just make me mad. Just like a lot of you. Why go through the stress and worry. It also makes me think less of the company that is willing to do this to me.

So you do it your way and I'll do it mine. And, Have a nice day.
