- Bought a $36 GigaFast USB wireless adapter @ Micro Center in early Dec 06. It came with a $30 rebate (Yay~~ What a deal!)
- Rebate forms were mailed to the rebate house.
- Contacted the rebate house five weeks later because their online record showed they hadn't received my rebate.
- One or two weeks later, got an email reply from them saying they just got it (????).
- Four or five weeks later, got another email from them saying GigaFast refused to fund the rebate and they had no choice but to close my case. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
- Emailed complaints to GigaFast and Better Business Bureau the next day.
- A week later, after hearing no reply from GigaFast, a complaint was sent to the retailer, Micro Center.
- Micro Center responded the next day saying they'd send the check.
- Three weeks later, the rebate house sent me an email saying Micro Center funded the money and I'd get the rebate check in 7-10 days. I FINALLY got my damn $30 rebate check a week later.
That Darn Rebate Deal
