I went in circles with them and one of them was being stupid making stuff up. I called back and they said some machine "checks" the rebates and it would see it came from another vender (TigerDirect) and told me they would not honor it. I think it is a load of crap... I was really looking forward to this mouse. Oh well...
I think you're being misled by people with no idea what they're talking about. Amazon have nothing to do with this rebate. In fact Logitech have nothing to do with this rebate. Logitech outsource the rebate program to a fulfillment center based in Niagara Falls (866-533-6880). It is this fulfillment center that verfiy and eventually approve or deny rebate claims. These fulfillment centers act as an underwriter of sort. They come up with an estimate of expected # of rebate request based on statistics. They charge Logitech a certain amount based on the expected # so if the actual requests are lower than expected, they pocket the difference.
So please don't waste your time dealing with irrelevant parties. The only people you should be calling is the fulfillment house, their # is on the rebate and listed above.
I agree. Logitech likely drafted the rebate, and then outsources it to a rebate center. So either Logitech was negligent in including certain terms in the rebate -- based on Amazon's unique business model -- or it's exactly as nodescript as intended. Anyway, having business partners, such as TigerDirect, probably allows Amazon to appear as if they have a spectacularly large selection, and unlimited inventory.
Interesting to note, Adam8281 contacted the rebate center today; and they've now certainly had enough time to confer on the issue. Basically, we've received confirmation a handful of times from the very same people responsible for validating and fulfilling our rebates. If anyone should know how to interpret the terms, it should -- contractually -- be them.
