Just a heads up on a long outstanding rebate for me, and I thought others might have taken advantage of this deal way back in June. CompUSA had a AcomData External CD-RW drive, ended up FREE after $130 rebate. Rebate's been long in coming, estimate mail date was finally set to Oct 24th. No check yet so I called. The CSR said that rebate mailing was "extended", coudn't say why, but check had not been mailed. Sounded odd to me, pressured them more, they couldn't/wouldn't provide more info. My thought being the company (AcomData) had bailed on paying the rebate. I talked with the CSR's manager (his name was Stewart), he said he said the same thing as the CSR. I informed them that my rebate form said 6-8 weeks and they were already double that -- I wasn't going to accept a longer wait. He said he would escalate the rebate - it was mailed next day. Called and got check number and confirmed rebate was mailed.
Anyone else waiting for such a check might want to place a call.
