LoL "paying" the company to get you your rebate faster. I sent a rebate in for an EVGA product. 3 weeks later they notified me saying they recieved my rebate and it would take 4-6 weeks to process it. Companies use rebates as a marketing strategy. They expect imidiate payment for a product, so more than 4 weeks is rediculous to process your rebate, and a company "charging" to expidite a rebate is ludicrous. Companies forget that it is the consumer that keeps them in business. I personally see no problem with the OP posting this topic. If Consumers don't stay on top of the companies then you get an issue such as waiting half the calender year for a rebate which is ridiculous.
