My beef is with companies that offer this thing called a "rebate". At this point in time, to me, the word rebate is synonymous with the phrase "We want to entice you into buying our product (s) so that we can intentionally take your money!". It seems the use of the term "rebate" is just a legal way for big business to take advantage of not following through with their contract with the customer. This has happened to me on more than one occasion with Best Buy and once with Tiger Direct. Best Buy, seems to be the "best" at not following through with their rebate programs. I now have two rebates totaling $50 and I am yet to be paid. I have vowed they will NEVER EVER receive my business again.

I usually frequent the local Tiger Direct outlet for the hard to find computer nerd equipment and accessories. This place has plenty of variety to chose from with usually decent prices. However, once again I have fallen prey to the lure of the rebate and found myself being super ticked off because of the obvious, intentional deception that was used to mask the ever popular "We want to entice you into buying our product (s) so that we can intentionally take your money!" scheme. I have now written them on my "Do NOT Buy From" list as well. I guess I have had to learn the hard way. NEVER EVER buy concerning a rebate.

I know that piss poor management happens now and then, but I did not realize it is happening at such an alarming rate. Also, it seems to me that business, especially BIG business would and should be concerned about their reputation and would want to maintain a good rapport with the public. However, I guess this proves otherwise.
