Corsair in Trouble?

[18 Is Number 1]

I hope you are satisfied purchasing without rebates. I however, have enjoyed saving several hundred dollars on my system through rebates. Out of about a dozen to five or six vendors, none failed to pay.
But as I said above, I read the instructions.

The only rebates I've ever been stiffed on are a $15 rebate from Kingston way back in the PC-133 days and a $5 rebate on an external enclosure from Super Media Store.

Lexmark has proved to be the best for me. I mailed in my rebate materials on a printer.
But I forgot the bar code label. They sent my stuff back after the rebate period and gave me an additional 7 days to return everything needed.
I mailed back all the required material and Lexmark came through with my rebate $$ :thumbsup::laugh:

Bought a PNY GSO9600 and got the rebate back in one week.

My worst rebate experience ever was an $8 rebate recently from Kensington for a mouse.

Kensington's check BOUNCED, which cost me $5 at my bank!!

They re-issued the check, but the rebate was effectively $3.

They refused to make good on the money they cost me, or even offer me a free, cheap accessory which would have been simple and easy to do for them.

I will NEVER, EVER buy another Kensington product. EVER.



Companies offer rebates because of the percentage of purchasers that file successfully for them. For example, if a $10 rebate is offered, and 50% of purchasers get one, they have only effectively paid a $5 rebate.
