Blah, blah, blah.
I've ordered over $10,000 worth of stuff from these guys in the last 7 months. So far I've received every rebate, except for about $1,000 I have in process. Those checks are scheduled to arrive in March.
I've received stuff that I got as promotional give aways, I've given some away to the nephews, I've donated some to toy drives, and I've kept some for myself. In fact I'm typing this on a programmable IBM keyboard I got from them.
I time my purchase to hit right at my CC cut-off date, that way I'm cash out of pocket only about 4-5 weeks. I've never bought anything from them that had less than a 100% rebate.
Of course anytime this comes up, expect someone to speculate that they make their money from the interest. Save yourself the embarrasement and first do the math, or if that's too much of a challenge just search for past threads and read why that is very unlikely.
And of course I go through ebates so I've actually got back about $600 more than I've spent (they used to have 7% commission).
I've experienced as good customer support from them as any other rebate service. Better than most.
My only hesitation is that they go out of business while I have rebates outstanding.
However if you're lazy or unorganized, I'd avoid this site.
Of course everytime this comes up expect someone to speculate that CR makes a bunch of money from the interest they earn. Save yourself the embarassment and first do they math. Or if that's too challenging do a search on past posts and read why that scenario is very unlikely.
