Rebates are a pain particularly if you don’t redeem
them. Statistics range widely on the
number of rebates that remain unclaimed, anywhere from 38% to 68%. Those statistics are exactly why the vendors
use rebates instead of price reductions.
Their fondest hope is that the rebate will provide you with the
incentive to buy and that you will never claim the rebate. For vendors it is a win/win, they get a sale
and don’t have to shell out the cash for the rebate. If you make a purchase involving rebates you
must force yourself to be responsible and claim your money. If you don’t you are falling prey to a
retailing trick and you only have yourself to blame. Here is a link to a site that has the 10
most common excuses why rebates are not submitted.
