PNY Memory
Rebate Ripoff scam, requires original UPC, sent with rebate, they claim it wasn't there and to send it again?

Internet & Web

Bought a 512 stick of PNY memory from CrapUSA and sent my rebate ($30) in along with the UPC cut from the paper sandwiched in between the plastic (left loose in the envelope since I've had rebates "denied" before by others because I had stapled the UPC to the other paperwork to avoid its loss) and the original receipt as requested.

Got a card in the mail stating that they could not honor my request for a rebate due to the following reason (s):

"Missing original UPC" and "Missing: UPC"

Then they say "To resubmit for this offer you must return this card (received today, the 6th) and any validating information to the address shown above by: 01/19"

So I have no UPC now since it's probably on their floor or in their trash and since they wanted the original receipt, they won't accept the copy I have so it just appears to be a scam to me that they can come up with any excuse (like "we never received it in the first place") to deny people their rebate.

I wouldn't have bought the memory from CrapUSA in the first place for the $30 more that it has now cost me, could've bought on ebay for less.

Buyers beware, you MUST add the $30 to the actual price of their memory if you buy this PNY crap as you will NEVER get your rebate from these POS's (many other's have now stepped up to confirm this, I can get contacts and info from them if needed.)
