I bought an LCD monitor at what seemed like a good price only considering it came with a rebate. I bought the monitor and correctly and meticulously sent in the correct barcodes/upc and form for the rebate.
A month has gone by and I received a card through the mail stating that the UPC submitted was not a qualifying product. This is ridiculous, pathetic and a very poor excuse. I thoroughly check rebate ending dates and all fine print before I purchase an item with rebates otherwise I would just move on to something without one.
The rebate isn't a lot of money but it angers me out of principle. I have had many rebates in the past never come and it all adds up to quite a bit. Companies must stop with this unreliable and unfair concept of 'rebates'. It baits a lot of gullible people and simply ruins it for a lot of them.
