[QUOTE=mjwsatx]I keep track of my rebates and I have a very good record. I have not been stiffed at all. But they are a PITA, it takes your time, you have to pay for postage, have to wait for your money, and you have to pay tax on the retail amount before rebate - which really is a rip-off. I don't understand the business ideology involved, but they must have a pretty good reason. It looks like rebates are here to stay.[/QUOTE]
The busines ideology is that you are among the minority. Many people either don't submit their rebate claime or fail to jump through all the hoops required, or simply don't followup. In other words, they are very profitable and offer the opportunity to advertise much lower prices than are ultimately paid, on average.
