My worst batting average has been with Best Buy, which is outright
crooked and has lied and denied rebates even when they admitted to
making mistakes (misprinted submission deadline for one rebate,
misprinted address for the other). Fry's has been much better. I
shop at Fry's a lot because they're almost across the street, and
they've helped me in about three instances when the rebate processor
wouldn't send me my check, but overall their rebate handling has been
good. I've submitted eight of their rebates in the past six months,
and processing averaged about 6-7 weeks, with the slowest needing 95
days (Envision). I'm supposed to get a $25 rebate next week for a
graphics card that cost a penny on Labor Day.

Rebate? Keep it!

Can't sell it to me for a good price and instead want me to jump through hoops to do
business with you? Screw you...........

Just got this email today in regards to my rebate and the text below is a quote from the email notification,.
except for the claim id.


My advice to anyone who followed the the terms on the rebate form and was denied would be

1. Contact OCZ and try to resolve.

2. If contacting them does not resolve it, turn it over to the attorney general's office of your state. I did this once
after putting up with a company lieing to me for over 6 months about the rebate being processed. Once they
were contacted by the attorney general's office my rebate came within a week. I'm prety sure it wasnt a coincidence.
