I purchased a Maxtor 300 GB SATA HD from TigerDirect in October. I submitted the required submission for the $45 rebate to Onrebate.com and received a confirmation.
The $45 rebate check came in December.
I cashed the check.
In January my bank returned the rebate check charging my account $25 as they were unable to locate the Onrebate.com account and then debiting my account $45.
The rebate check bounced and now I'm out $70!
My calls and emails to both TigerDirect and Onrebate.com go unanswered.
Incidently TigerDirect's logo appears on the Onrebate.com webpage.
I believe these two companies are connected and the rebate program is a major scam.
Needless to say I won't do business with TigerDirect again. Further, if any rebate by any manufacturer is connected to Onrebate.com I won't buy the product!
I have reported this deceptive practice in a formal complaint to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and urge anyone else with a similar complaint to do the same.
You may do so at: ftc. Gov
Also file a complaint with your state's attorney general's office.
