Same here. I received the $20 switch and $10 NIC rebates. TCA had originally denied my $20 rebate and said I could only get one of the rebates on the form (there were 3 rebates) even though the form said "up to $30". Anyway, I went to CUSA B&M and complained to the rebate person and she straightened it out.

Got a $10 rebate from Microsoft for the optical wheel mouse $2.99 after rebate at Fry's.
Fastest rebate I ever got, just 3 weeks.

 

[tigerbait]

I know a lot of people don't like Microsoft, but their rebate processing department is second to none. Got my $10 optical mouse rebate in a little more than 2 weeks.

WARNING, Heads Up Best Buy DDR2100 memory rebate at RebatesHQ

7/27 Maybe a problem with the rebate for everyone. I got a link in my e-mail to Parago to check on my rebate and it stated the rebate as $15 not $20, which it showed on the printed out rebate form from BB. They asked me to resend a copy of the form which I did by e-mail. Talked to a supposed supervisor 'Jose Marte' and he said that their info showed only $15 for the DDR 2100. So check your rebates and call if you have a problem.

My rebate status is showing up on http://www.rebateshq.com as a $15 MIR instead of the $20 MIR originally advertised by Best Buy, as Antmanbee mentioned earlier. What a fraud!!

8/1 After calling RebatesHQ and resending the BBuy rebate form as an e-mail attachment they updated the amount to the correct ammount.
A friend just informed me that his rebate is for the wrong amount too.

So check your status and call in to get it corrected.

Remember the $50 QPS Compusa TCA Fraud.. Yeah, well I called COMPUSA Corporate, they are going to "resolve" the whole issue.. Get this tomorrow morning.. I told him I didn't believe him, and about how TCA said there was no problem, 1 CUSA customer service rep said they were going ot expedite a check, another CUSA customer service rep 4 months later said they were mailing a check 3 weeks ago, it never came, and now Kenny says they are going to resolve this... Tomorrow... Riiiight...


Meanwhile, CompUSA still advertises QPS Rebates

 

[Lizardman]

Just got a $40 from OM on a cendyne burner

My rebate for the PNY DDR has not come up yet at RebatesHQ will keep checking on that one.

 

[ra7]

Got the Sandisk 20$ rebate for memory stick yesterday, purchased at Compusa, from Mesa, AZ. Sent it in 4th week of May.

 

[cmatthes1]

Further Lies from Compusa....


They "didn't know" that they had a problem with the QPS rebates until last week. I talked with a CSR 6 months ago and they told me they were having issues. Anyway, so that makes the third blatant lie, my rebate just went from Approved to denied on their website as well. I asked her if that made any difference in getting my money. She said, of course, she didn't know. The only thing she knew was that she didn't know.

TCA Rebates sucks. Just called about my Hercules sound card, "the vendor extended the rebate time. We don't have a date when we can release the checks". I mailed it April 1, what a joke, LOL. Losers.

Still waiting for my $20 and $30 rebates from Norton for Systemworks, it's been 12 weeks.

Got my Conext(Staples) and Fuji CDR rebates(BestBuy, filled form out online at Fuji) after 3 weeks. Fuji said they would be mailing out my other rebate, from 13 weeks ago, which I did not do online, in the next 2 weeks.

It's only been 3 weeks since I bought my Cendyne burner(Staples), but their already processing the $50 rebate!

[cmatthes1]

LOL, get this.. TCA rebates just updated my account (TODAY) saying I got denied for a rebate on COMPUSA compressed air from 2000!!!! It just showed up today on the web. Anyway, I didn't get the rebate in in time because Compusa said to cut out the UPC (which was painted onto the metal on the can).

Anyway, 2 Years to put a rebate on the website.. That is good turn around time.

Anyone else having a problem getting their $40 Pacific Digital 32x12x48 cdrw staples rebate? According to their website, mine was received and valid on 6-11-02 and "Your rebate is valid and is in the final stages of processing and should be mailed to you within the next 30 days". Obviously it has been over 3 weeks since the 30 days has passed and they have not even indicated that a check has been prepared. I e-mailed staples customer service to inquire about it several days ago and have not received any response. Any one else experiencing the same problem with this rebate? Any suggestions as to where to go from here?
BTW, I have successfully received about 10 different rebates from Staples over the past 2 years, most of them within 4 to 6 weeks. The latest one being the $40 rebate on the maxtor 80 gig hard drive which took only about 3 weeks. Must be because Maxtor was involved! (My favorite hard drive company! )

Call Parago/RebatesHQ using the 800 number on the rebate form and tell them you're checking on an overdue Staples rebate.
