I bought an Envision monitor because it offered an $80.00 rebate.instead of a simple $80.00 rebate form, the Envision form required submitting two rebate forms for $40.00 each. I sent in all receipts and UPC symbols together.
After two months, Envision stated that they would pay the first of the $40.00 rebates but not the second because the UPC symbols were not received. Again, this was advertised as an $80.00 rebate. Envision's required thye customer to submit two $40.00 rebate forms. Envision requested that I send in the UPC symbols again, which I did.
A month later, Envision had still not honored either rebates. I called and a representative said they would honor one $40.00 rebate but not the other. They now had a new reason for not sending the checks: they "cannot" send two checks to the same address. I mentioned that the rebate offer was for $80.00, not $40.00, and it was the company's decision to split the rebate into two $40.00 portions. This appears to be rebate fraud.
