OfficeMax Drops Mail-in Rebates

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cash-in-hand dept.

DrEldarion writes "Looks like OfficeMax is dropping mail-in rebates. 'Rebates were the #1 customer complaint we were getting,' said Ryan Vero, OfficeMax's chief merchandising officer. Hopefully other retailers will realize what a good idea this is and follow suit." The best part is that the discount is applied now at the register, so those of us who always thought that the rebates were a scam (or were too lazy to mail in the card) finally get some savings.

    Thaw your punctuation and it will spread more easily and not bunch up in one place that way.

    So, I very carefully attended to the directions and followed them closely...I sent it in TOO EARLY.
