I had 2 for Hawking Tech (4db boosters wireless antennae) and a router from Netgear that I got a nice rebate on. Was told 6-8 weeks for processing.

Found out that the schmoo's @ the Hawking processing center paid one rebate, but not the other. Called to ask why, and they said my other rebate was incomplete. (I'd made copies of everything) and I sent them a copy of the UPC and the receipt, finally got it past stage 3 of the process... and there it sits...

I have not heard ANYTHING about my router refund.

Stinks that you have to be *sooo* diligent about watching your rebate processing, else it won't get paid....

What really blows me away is how long it takes...
Sad

Yea, rebates suck.. my honest opinion is they are a scam to get you buy something "on sale" with out much risk on their part of actually having to reduce the price. I would love to see the percentage of MIR's that they actually end up paying.

i bet its very low ! i also love how they want the upc tag -but the retailer wont take the goods back. if the upc is cut off the carton .a lot of the time -or when there is more then one rebate . and they all want the orginal sales slip[ or upc ! Bang Head
