Memorex and/or web-rebates.com are cheating people out of rebates by demanding something that is not specified on their rebate form.
The rebate is: "Buy a Memorex Internal 16x16 Double Format Double-Layer DVD Recorder (Model 3202 3292) and Receive a $20.00 Rebate Check by Mail."
The rebate form simply says to enclose "The original UPC cut from the product pacakge". So I cut out the UPC on the bottom of the box and submitted it with the rest of the requirements.
NOW the rebate website "It did not meet the product proof-of-purchase requirements as stated on the order form. One or more UPC labels cut from the package must be submitted."
One or more upc labels?
Fortunately, knowing rebate companies, I saved the box (I wonder how many customers didn't?). SO - I looked all over the box and, sure enough, on the end panel is ANOTHER UPC.
If they were going to require this one, alone - or if they were going to require both - they should have clearly stated it on the rebate form.
This item was purchased from frys.com, and it is my understanding they have "tons of them" to sell for Memorex.
I wonder how many consumers are getting caught in this trap?
It sounds like a huge rip-off - at $20 a pop.
I believe this is blatantly dishonest, as either UPC will identify the product.
