I send them in ont time, correctly filled out (I read the small print) and with all the attachments. The last one I got from Staples and filled out the forms etc, they sent a note saying the rebate was on;y good for the items when bought from Circuit City... What kind of crap is that? It didn't say that on the form... Anything to get out of paying.
