S: Rebates

[StonedWheat]

*sigh* why haven't I learned my lesson yet. I'm never doing another rebate thing again!!!

I bought this phone through a techbargain.com link, because they had this rebate:

http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/00/10/00/11/89/75/100011897509.pdf . I swear it says valid on purchases from 7/1/05 to 7/31/05.

Today I get this email from them, stating

"Your rebate submission has been received.
Unfortunately your rebate is denied for the following reasons:
ORIGINAL PURCHASE NOT DURING REBATE PERIOD
PCHSED --VALID DATES: 09/01/04-06/30/05".

I try to go to the www.wheresmyrebate.com website to send them a message (getting someone to answer the phone is impossible), and their website won't let me create an account. I f&*( hate rebates.

Seems to say that to me also.. Maybe they got confused. Shrugs. I have never had a problem with a rebate before. Ever.
*knocks on wood*

File a complaint with the BBB.

Include that you were unable to contact them after several attempts. You do have a photocopy of the rebate offer, don't you? If you don't you can try to contact amazon.com.

I think this is their number
Phone: (800) 201-7575

I googled it.

do you make copies of all forms/UPCs before you send away for rebates?

If you have photocopies of your original submission, this will be no problem to get straightened out. If you don't, you are screwed.

eh I started to scan my rebates before I send them out but I got lazy and just don't do it anymore.
