To all,
Rebates fighting does seem to be happening more and more. As for
COMPUSA though, I've never had any problems by going back to the store I
bought it from. Ask to speak to a manager or the general manager. I've
had them credit the amount back to my credit card if a valid rebate has
been rejected and should have been paid. Come prepared with amy copies
you have.

I agree with you all that Mad Dog's Rebates are a joke. I sent in the
original product bar code from the box with a copy of my receipt. They
mailed me a notice that the bar code is not from the product that has a
rebate. They don't send back the (in their words) incorrect bar code nor a
copy of the receipt. I checked my copies (always made copies) just in case
I was wrong, but sure enough I wasn't. Now I have no bar code to resend and
get my rebate. Nice scam CompUSA and Mad Dog have going. I'll never buy
anything again from CompUSA where the price is right only after a rebate. I
guess that means I won't buy anything from CompUSA since everything they
sell is only reasonably priced after getting the rebate months later.

I second that. I have had trouble with the last three rebates. I was

care

to

fooow directions, made copies and completed the form correctly, but I

had

to

make about 20.00 worth of long distance calls to get a rebate from

CompUSA.

I simply will not buy a product based on a mail in rebate. I'm waiting

on

one since Dec 2002 from Buslink/Bestbuy. Also, never got one from Lexar

as

well.

My advice is to not consider rebates, as part of a purchasing

decision.

No Rebate stood up, at show-n-tell in



and said:


I bought a MX440SE from CompUSA last December and promptly sent in

the

rebate forms, 2 forms, 1-$20, and another $20 supplemental rebate.

To

date, I've not received the supplemental rebate. I've checked back
and called the 800 number religiously, but I've not received any
satisfaction. Now it appears that the rebate center has moved
offshore, and communication difficulties are rampant!

My advice to you is, do not to buy a MADDOG product if it includes a
rebate!
