Sirius Satellite Radio
Rebate Denied for Not Activating Radio by Date Not Stated on Form

I purchased a SIRIUS Satellite Radio for a Christmas present. I submitted the $50 rebate form with the SID/ESN information from the box as requested before the end of January.

In mid to late March I received a post card saying my SID/ESN information was lost and I needed to submit another copy by April 28. I submitted copies of the requested information, along with the postcard, as instructed, by April 15.

I have not received my rebate to date. I called 1-888-539-7474 today, 7/24/06 to ask the status. I was told I was not eligible for the rebate because I had not activated the radio before January 30. This was not part of the terms identified on the rebate form.

Daphne, the person responding to me call, informed me it was part of the terms & conditions, and that most people are aware they need to activate the radio before the rebate is paid.

I had heard SIRIUS was baiting people into purchasing the radio with rebates they never pay, so I was waiting to see if I would get the rebate before I activate the system.

I plan to return the merchandise to RadioShack where I bought the radio via their on-line store.
