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....

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 !
