Rebates. Do you get too lazy to even bother with them?

[Dunk]

Would you rather buy an item that costs $275 with a $75 rebate

or

the same item for $250 on sale?

The last 2 items ive bought had what i would think significant rebates on them

My cell phone $50

My new monitor $80

Well. My cell i didnt send in and it expired.

My monitor i just tbought im still waiting to send that shit in. But for some reason I always end up NOT following through.

Are you the same way? Rebates are the suck.

i hate them, but for $50 id send it in

That's what most companies are hoping will happen. They hope people will be too lazy or forget to send them in.

Depends on how big it is

in one week I recieved $100 rebate for a laptop, $50 on some computer programs and $60 from a new phone. that week I became a born beleiver!

 

[Hiatussin]

rebate?

is that like a tax return?

 

[starfish]

I use rebates all the time. I basically paid nothing for the new cell phone I got. It was a 250.00 phone.

I used them before. Its worth it if its 50$ and up. I always got my money back from them, but that waiting up to 6 moths is teh suck

Im a procrastinator so I always forget to mail rebates in.

recently bought a wireless router from bb for 69.95. it had 2 $15 rebates, and both were quite simple to submit (hopefully they get paid and stuff too). anyone who wouldn't do the work for these rebates would be a douchebag.
