I put it on the table, and left it there for a few weeks. Time to
use it, looked all over the table, no coupon. Wasting hours and hours
looking for it. Now wasting your time b*tching about it. Now that
I've admitted losing it, maybe it will show up. Why do things always
get lost when you put them "someplace safe" ????

I'm not positive you lost anything. The first two I received were
expired by 10 days when they arrived. Maybe your's were expired too or
could be now anyway.

I'm shocked that anybody here waited until the last minute. Didn't ALL frugal
people fill in the form as soon as it was available?

Maybe he doesn't even need it.
I can't say I'm surprised at all the people getting the coupon and
even kicking in some cash to get a converter box - because it's there!
It's "free!"
Reminds me of people crowding around free food when they're not
hungry. Even lousy food.
Not saying the OP is like this, but I think they've put out more
coupons and boxes than will ever be used.

I applied for a coupon in February of last year when they first began
publicizing them, as I was worried about waiting to apply out of fear
they would run out fast. What I did not know at the time was that the
coupon would expire within 90 days of receipt. I didn't receive the
coupon until the end of April and saw the expiration date was July
10. I kept the coupon in my wallet and eventually used it in-mid June
at Best Buy. I hooked up the box on Feb. 16, since my local Fox
channel went ahead with dropping the analog signal the following day,
which of course was the originally scheduled transition date.
Unfortunately I cannot get my Fox station and have missed their Sunday
night lineups last Sunday and will do so again this evening.
