Home Depot
Rebate ripoff scam

I bought an appliance at Home Depot which came with a rebate of something like $50. This was in April. I sent the rebate with the full receipt and all required information (which is several pages) in May. It normally takes 8-10 weeks for the rebate to process, which would be July. I didn't get anything from Home Depot until 9/25/06, and the letter said the product purchased did not qualify. Clearly something was wrong. I called into the center and spoke with someone named Alex today, 10/03/06. He asked me to read off the sku's and then told me that the sku's in the system and the sku's I gave him were the same and were showing up as not qualifying.

I asked him to repeat the sku's to me, and he repeated them incorrectly. I told him the numbers he had were wrong and repeated my sku's again and he said that I CHANGED WHAT I WAS SAYING.in fact, they had entered all the sku's in incorrectly and unjustly denied me my rebate. If I had let it go, I would be out $50, which is just what they are hoping. He finally agreed to resubmit the rebate but said they don't have an expedite service and now I will have to wait another 6-8 weeks for my rebate, after they dragged the whole process out for 6 months! That is 10 months to receive a rebate that should only take 2 months to receive. What a scam!
