Mail In Rebates - A Waste of Time

Well this is the time for lots of money spending. Well let me make you guys aware of a little situation I'm having with "Mail In Rebates/Easy Rebates." First, they're a waste of time! But if you are intrested by them be warned from my situation!

I bought two items on the same day with rebates. One was mail in and one was an e-rebate!

The mail-in was with Staples for $5.00. The E-Rebate was with CompUSA for over $90 in rebates for a cable modem. These items were bought on the same day! Well the mail-in rebate is already been put in the bank and spent. The modem rebates are still pending! I've called and emailed CompUSA and they keep saying I need to put a conformation into their system. Well guess what I have time and time again and it's still not showing up.

So be warned when you use mail-in/e-rebates, don't expect your money back! Just be glad if you do get the rebate!
