Oh, yeah, a lot of rebates actually are scams. I'm talking rebates
here from well-known companies. Big Names we'd all recognize.
What the deal is is that the Big Name company doesn't actually
run the rebate. They hire a company that that's all they do is
administer rebate programs. And then what it is is that the hired
company is full of fraudsters and scammers.
I have personally seen it more than once in trying to get
rebates that it is an obvious scam. People feel safe in that they
"maintain copies of all my receipts and triple check all requirements"
blah, blah, blah. What they don't get is that, yes, you are on the
up and up BUT the persons you are dealing with are not. These
scammers know that people keep copies and so forth but they
still find ways to work around paying out legitimate claims.
It's to the point where if I'm comparing an item and the
"price after rebate" at Company A is less than the cash price from
Retailer B, I mostly will just go with the higher cash price from Retailer B
knowing that if/when the rebate doesn't go through, I will end up paying even more for the item than the straight-out cash price.
