Mail-in rebates. I hate them. They’re such a PITA. They’re hoping that you’ll miss one of the hoops they make you jump through so they can deny your rebate, or that you’ll decide it’s too much trouble and not bother.
That being said, I only ever had a problem one time. Instead of a check, I got back a letter saying that I didn’t send them the UPC code from the box the product came in, and promised me that as soon as I sent it, they’d get my check out to me. Problem was, I had already sent it. Kind of hard to send something you already sent. We went back and forth a few times, and I eventually got my check, but I’m ashamed to say that I had to pull the “I’ll never shop here again” card.
