The Rebate Lottery
January 6th, 2006
The stars aligned.
I got my wife a birthday present last month and …
I found out two months afterward that there was a rebate and …
I had ordered the correct model for the rebate and …
I had ordered it during the valid rebate dates and …
I had kept the sales receipt and …
I had kept the box with the UPC code on it.
This never happens.
Over the past year, I’ve spent $3001.24 on stuff that had rebates (from bottle of listerine to a laptop). The rebates have totalled $899.82. What’s more is I didn’t get any rebate rejection letters in 2005!
