Seventeen days have elapsed since my last phone call was made to OnRebate. If I count correctly, this was the third phone call I’ve made in about the last month.
This time I talked to “Shawn” who assured me again that my check for $5.50 would be processed and sent within the next 7 to 10 business days. (Although I didn’t get any explanation — nor did I ask — why it wasn’t sent within the last 10 business days.)
If I have to call again, they swear I’ll get to talk to a manager, my issue will be “escalated” and then I’ll… probably have to wait another 7 to 10 business days for a check.
Then it’s off to the BBB and state AG, or whoever else.

How much blog traffic have you gotten from this shit? Are a bunch of other people having the same problem?
A pretty fair amount. Here’s a recent list of keywords:
