Hi,
Just thought I'd report a small flood of rebate checks I received today, and checked on 3 or 4 others to give faith to the waiting and proof to the leery that they will eventually arrive.
Staples "Easy Rebate" online $40.00 for Maxtor 200gb HD ($35AR) , took 5 weeks to receive check.
Seagate (200gb HD) mail in $10.00, took 5-1/2 weeks to receive check.
Seagate (200gb HD) mail in $40.00, took 5-1/2 weeks to receive check. (same HD as above)
CompUSA $60.00 on same Seagate ($30AR) as above, not so good here, Did the online "ebate" on 2/19, today it says: "Your rebates were requested on 03/14/06 totaling $60.00. Rebate checks will be mailed within 10 - 12 weeks of a properly completed request." Need to keep my eye on this one.
Syntax Olevia $300. (LT32HVE 32" LCD from RadioShack.com just before X-mas) is "Approved and Check In Processing" Glad to see this as I sweat over the over $100+ rebates.
Best Buy / SanDisk SD card $15.00 called on this one since it was mailed on 1/7/06 and couldn't track it online, "one week until checks are mailed" I was told.
All in all not too bad, I will still do rebates when they are lucrative enough and no (at least close) non-rebate deal is available.
If you want 200gb HD's for $30-40 you gotta fill in some rebate forms!
