This was awhile ago and I used my half of my christmas money from my dad to buy my wife a PC. We found a pc from circuit city, an emachines system via the internet. Mind you when the pc got to us, I read through the rebate information and did as it said. #1 original UPC code, original pakaging codes of the pc's box and a receipt. Well, duh. I bought it online. So no receipt.
So I sent all originals mind you and waited... A month or two. I finally got a letter stating since there was no "receipt" no rebate. I called the firm and spoke to someone and explained that the PC was purchased online not in store. So she tells me to write on the letter "online purchase" and send the letter back.
Months pass... April I finally receive a letter from Young America that stated since we had no receipt we couldn't get the rebate. I called the firm and spoke very terse to them for their stupidity. I asked them how the hell can I produce a receipt, if I bought the damn PC online? And to top that off, the guy tells me that he can't find me anywhere in the computer for a rebate. Like they deleted me!
So stay away from Young America and buy only pc's that offer instant rebates at time of purchase not those mail-in rebates. And find out what company is handling the rebate "BEFORE" you buy said computer. Salepeople can tell you. I've sold pc's before.
So stay away from any rebates done through Young America... You'll NEVER see your rebate!
