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."

    They need a web application where a customer can type in the serial number from their receipt, it looks that up in a database to see what they bought, they supply name and address and in 6-8 weeks sends them a check.

    That's going to take another year to implement... i wish i worked software development at that pace.

    Better yet, instead of doing rebates they could just reduce their prices... that would show they didn't hate their customers.

    w.r.t. your sig. I'm not sure about pretty... I always thought of XP as more of a butterface.
