Why rebates? Why not just temporary reduced repparttar 147403 price like a sale? I am sure you have asked yourself this question many times.

The answer is quite simple really. Some companies offering a rebate do not want to give you anything. They just want to lure you like a fish to bait. The bait is an imaginary price you will pay for repparttar 147404 product. The ad usually shows in BIG numbers this price and repparttar 147405 actual price in tiny numbers. Once you get their product home, they hope you will happy with repparttar 147406 price you think you paid and forget about it.

Did you remember to pick up a rebate form? They hope not. Would you go back to get one - probably not. Some places are printing out repparttar 147407 rebate form with your sales receipt (applause!). Some companies put repparttar 147408 rebate form in with product. Watch repparttar 147409 rebate expiration date. Sometimes a product will sit on repparttar 147410 shelf too long and repparttar 147411 enclosed rebate will have expired.

Ok, you have repparttar 147412 rebate form. READ IT! Read all of it - normal print, fine print, front and back. Look at offer expiration and "purchased between" dates. I got burned once buying an advertised rebate product a few days before repparttar 147413 rebate actually started. What you are required to send? My favorite is repparttar 147414 original sales receipt. What if you have purchased two items with rebates? What is repparttar 147415 processing time and a point of contact should you not receive your rebate check within that period? I suggest putting repparttar 147416 contact on repparttar 147417 calendar on repparttar 147418 last day as a reminder. If repparttar 147419 rebate does not have a phone number contact you stand a chance of getting burned. I have on three separate occasions. I suggest you go to repparttar 147420 rebate center at repparttar 147421 store and picking up rebate form and read it before making repparttar 147422 purchase.
