Best Buy Working Towards Ending Mail-in Rebates

Posted by Zonk on from the customer-service? dept.

chibbie writes "Best Buy is finally working towards ending mail-in rebates by 2007. Rebates will still be around, but you will be able to file them online, and receive your check much quicker. I guess this means Best Buy doesn't hate their customers after all."

      now, instead of having the mail co involved, they will have a website that you will only be able to log in in low traffic hours, with latest IE, latest windows service pack, and latest flash plugin.

    After waiting on hold for 30 minutes, the nice customer service representative explained how their decision was final, with no option for recourse whatsoever.

    I guess there's always small claims court.

    I'm still waiting on my rebate from my Voodoo3 2000 card. Yeah, I'm lazy and stupid. Or, I was lied to. Since I don't have my rebate cheque, despite filling in and mailing the form, you decide.

    Not so fast, there's no need to jump to any crazy conclusions here.

    Dude, Paying twice as much for RAM is a good deal. Paying more means it's good.

    My mother regularly saves 30%~50% on groceries because she clips coupons

    And I can guarantee that the cashiers at your local grocery all hate your mother. :P

    So a $150 hard drive with a $50 mail-in rebate costs you. . . $50, right there in the store.

    Looks like they sold out all their calculators.
