I have stopped using Tiger Direct when they offer rebates because onrebate takes too long to process them. I submitted rebates to other companies and have gotten the check in 2 to 3 weeks tops. On rebate takes months to send the check back.
It is interesting however, that they offer to speed up the service if you give them a portion of the rebate money. This is simply a deferred payment. Somehow we are suppose to not realize that they are raising the price of the item to speed up the rebate. The whole thing is a scam.
It cost them less, paperwork, postage, and processing to refund the money through Paypal yet they charge you a fee for the service.
Fortunately I have been able to find good deals elsewhere. It's unfortunate because Tigerdirect has many good deals that I now have to pass up.
