dangit! forgot to mail in a $15 rebate!@#%*!

 

   Man, I'm kicking myself.  For the first time in about 5 years, I put
off sending in a rebate, and the allowed time expired - yesterday!

   It was a $15 ECS rebate from a newegg.com purchase.  Rebate form said
the rebate had to be postmarked within 18 days of purchase, and that 18
days was up yesterday.

   I sat down to fill everything out this afternoon, and realized there
was no point to it.

   All I can offer as an excuse is that our new house is getting fixed
up, and I've been spending a lot of time going up there to look over the
work, and also to do a number of projects myself.

   Still, I'm annoyed at myself.  Usually I do these rebates right away
when they come.

 




Send it it anyways.   Maybe somebody will honour it.  Phone it in perhaps?
Email newegg.  What's the worst that'll happen.  You won't get the expired
rebate...

Don't try that with a check you received and didn't cash
before the expiration.  They use separate accounts per dated
rebate, and close the account.  You not only lost your
rebate, but get dinged for a $10 returned deposit item fee.

I don't bother with electronics rebates anymore. If it's
rebated, it's had problems and returned for issues.  In a
few months, it'll be on deep sale, or a blow out anyway.

A consumer good from a respected company is another story,
the best provide discount coupons or at least would never
risk loosing a loyal customer by playing a rebate game.
