>>>So far I am batting 1000 with respect to rebates. I always get them .... sometimes I have a lot of action to take on my part though.
Who is good and who is bad? I don't really keep track of this. Parago and New Rochelle comes to mind though.<<<
In my *personal* experience: Parago and Sony worst at the moment, Epson and TCA New Rochelle pretty good, Best Buy BEST (for BB rebates, not manufacturer rebates). I have had good experiences with TCA, Digital Research & Cendyne, though I know that others have not. I keep on top of all rebates starting on their due date.
[Regarding Sony, I did the "Pick Up Sticks" Promo $50.00 rebate...it's supposed to be 8-10 weeks to receive it. I called the 8th week, nothing on file. Called 9th week, and was given some BS about there being a mistake in the form and that they require 4-6 MORE weeks after it's entered, for processing; total perhaps 16 weeks].
I am also batting 1000 with rebates; actually a little higher due to 2 rebates that Staples sent me extra checks for :Q I've done many rebates in the $100.00-$200.00 range and have *never* sent anything certified; just keep meticulous records and copies of everything that goes out the door.
