cool

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

very cool

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

yes, i heard they were working on this several months ago. eventually, i usually get my rebates, but 3-4 months was ridiculous. cheers to a company that deserves peoples' business & a lot of respect for doing this.

they also do a great job with extended warranties. in my experience, if somethings breaks - they replace - end of story. other companies such as comp-usa make you jump through all kinds of hoops forcing you to prove a product is broken & lengthy repair attempts before they will consider replacing it. unlike compusa, best buy has never charged me a restocking fee. respect due... :-)

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

fuck if i ever got a mail-in rebate... companies are awful about being loyal with their rebates.

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

I've never been a fan of mail-in rebates. Then again I was always too lazy to fill them out anyway.

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

my experience with mail-in rebates is they are an extra hassle and the company on the receiving end would take AGES to send the rebate back.

You got that right. That's why I won't buy a cell phone anywhere else but there.

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

nothing new; Staples has been doing this for months now...

however, submitting your rebate online is so much easier; just type in your receipt info. and you get the confirmations in your email...AND you keep the receipt as well for your records (some retailers don't print dupes unless you ask)

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

Yeah, I've been waiting for 2.5 months for the rebate on my new video card. :roll:

It's through the manufactuer so I really can't blame Best Buy, but I bought it there. :x[U][/U]

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

i bought my mom a new computer there for christmas and i got a ton of rebates...i only got to do one online, the rest were mail in to the manufacturer :(

I think i missed the post mark by the 15th dat eby one or two days...do you think they will not do it :(:(:(

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

probably not.. thats why they offer mail-in rebates, because a lot of people forget/get too lazy to mail them in ;)

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

mail in rebates suck

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

Its about time they get rid of mail-in rebates... Now if other companies would follow suite.

Those things should be outlawed. There is no point!

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

I had a $100.00 rebate on my last laptop. Sent it in and everything. Got the check which sat in my wallet. Forgot to deposit the damn thing so by the time I realized, it was 10 days over the too late to cash date. Pissed me off.

Sure there is...to make you buy the crap they can't push at normal price :CrackUp: :CrackUp:

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

so glad they decided to do that. what's wack about mail in rebates besides taking eternity is you send it in only to be denied because you have a PO Box. I dont know if it was the manufacturer or Best Buy itself regarding that but that sucks and any mail sent to my street address gets returned to sender. I still won't have mail sent to my street address no matter where I live.

Re: Best Buy Eliminates Mail-in Rebates

ick. im def gonna get denied for being late then :(
