Rebate Scams
That’s it, just “Rebate Scams” as the title, to try to draw search engine traffic.
It will be a self-selected sample, granted.
Anyone think many mail-in rebates are effectively scams that just refuse everyone the first time around? “Lose the paperwork” or email you and tell you that you forgot to send in the UPC? If this is going on, how widespread is it? Anyone switch over to sending with Signature Confirmation on all rebates, or all rebates over $10, for instance? Anyone put a little code in their address (a fake “unit number” for a house, for instance) to see how much the MIR is really costing you, in terms of unsolicited advertisements?

So I guess that’s a “no”, then. OK. Could be just me.
