These companies have the rebate process soo messed up that different departments like the rebate center and customer service are both told that the other can do things that they cant so we do end up sending customers into a circle. And for those who take they're anger out on customer service representatives... all i can say is shame on you. Half the time it is something that you did wrong and are to opinionated to deal witht he fact that you may have made a mistake...anyways i wil;l not rant but thought that i would let you in on that little secret.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33892521.post-21878580701560268542007-03-30T10:16:00.000-05:002007-03-30T10:16:00.000-05:00Good luck!

It's all about assuming you won't bother and then if you do - making it so difficult you'll give up. Failing that, drawing out the process so they can use your money for at least six months. <BR/><BR/>What's really "funny" is that they already know you bought from them. Your credit card/payment is in the system and you (if you're like me) registered for the warranty. (Verizon is world-class in avoiding giving rebates. Hello? Can you hear me now? You're billing me every month so I must have your phone, heh? Ditto Comcast and modems) Aaarggh. <BR/> <BR/>One thing I've found helps is paying with American Express. I then file a dispute and Am Ex handles it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
