Manufacturer rebates have become a real game
1. They like to use bank cards. A card has less of a chance being used and often only a portion of the cards value is used before its expiration. The unused card values go back to manufacturer.
2. Rebates mailing envelopes are often disguised to look like junk mail. Rebate issuers are very aware of our behaviors to toss junk mail.
3. Some rebate issuers wait a long time before issuing rebates in hopes the buyer forgets
4. A recent rebate request, that I submitted, required submission of the rebate electronically with the UPC and form scanned into a PDF. Many folks cannot do this.
