Talk to RossMAN, I think he leads the "recovery group" sessions now. LOL.
I've sort of sworn off rebate deals for the moment myself. I'm too lazy to send them off, and too impatient to wait for them to come back.

Damn, I am a sucker for punishment. 3 out of 4 Soyo $50 rebate checks still outstanding on SY-K7VME and SY-P4VGM offers, and I just went in the hole for 4 more! God I'm an idiot!
I can't help myself. I wonder if there are any coupons or rebate deals on a 12-step Hot Deals Addiction Recovery program?

My concern about Soyo rebates is not so much the length of time but the prospect that they will go belly up before paying the rebates due me. Look at the facts-since last spring Soyo has repeatedly done free after rebates for many different models of their motherboards. (Not just one or two obsolete or poor selling models). Their rebate terms promise extremely slow payout, and those of us who have already gone through this process can substantiate that repeated followup contacts are necessary to get your rebate check, even after it is supposedly approved. Given this history, coupled with the widespread rumors of financial problems and a possible takeover, it is pretty clear that a Soyo rebate is a high risk "investment".
Its like dealing with a pyramid scheme-the early people do fine, the ones at the end get burned badly. At this stage in the game there is no way I would buy a Soyo FAR item unless the item would be worth it to me even if I don't receive the rebate.

No, that's not how it works. When SOYO is in the topic with FAR or AR, the only thing you can do is complain about the terrible rebate service
