It could Happen to me but in 20 years I've only never received one.. That I can stand. But It could to all of us..
You should take time and READ the article and see some of the reasons WHY people never get them back!
This line made me laugh but I know it can be true "Credit this bonanza for retailers and suppliers partly to human nature. Many consumers are just too lazy, forgetful, or busy to apply for rebates: Call it a tax on the disorganized. Others think the 50 cents, $50 -- or even $200 -- is just not worth the hassle of collecting."
ADVICE FOR GETTING YOUR REBATE
Save all the packaging. You'll probably need the UPC code, a proof of purchase or a serial number.
Get an original receipt -- and get multiple copies of the receipt if you have more than one rebate.
Follow the instructions on the rebate form EXACTLY -- such as drawing a circle (not an underline or an arrow) around the product, date and price on the receipt.
Copy all your documents -- even the envelope.
Note the deadline. Some rebate offers give you as little as a week to apply.
If your check doesn't arrive by the time it should have, complain to the retailer, manufacturer and rebate-fulfillment center. And complain to the Better Business Bureau and Federal Trade Commission if you don't get satisfaction. Contact info is available at www.techbargains.com/rebates.cfm.
Beware of checks mailed in junk mail-type envelopes.
