So I ordered up some cheapy USB cables last week. They came with a whopping $3 rebate. Well, since I was bored off my ass tonight, I decided to get the forms filled out and mail it in.
What a pain in the ass!
First I’m directed to an instruction sheet in .pdf format. I hate PDFs. It tells me to go to some website. At this point, though, I think it’s really cool that they have finally gotten the rebate thing down to filling out some information online.
WRONG!
After submitting my contact information, accepting the TAC of the site, inputting the order # of my purchase, and some other BS, I was congratulated.
Why?
Because all that was left to do was print out a damn form, attach the UPC barcode, and a copy of the original packing slip.
If these fucking idiots non-intelligent beings would have clearly implicated the price to be paid for the rebate, I would have given up from the start and not even attempted to claim it. As it is, however, I will move forward and eagerly await my $3.00 check.
Wha Says:
Well it just goes to show that nothing is free anymore…
They make you earn that three bucks… You pretty much just made a dollar more than the mexicans that are working on your local highway. You gotta love America.
