InPhonic Sued Over Rebates
I hate complaints on rebates
"On example from 2004 alleges InPhonic required that consumers send in a wireless bill at least 120 days old to qualify for certain rebates—but at the same time, the document had to be postmarked within 120 days of service activation in order to get the rebate."
It's a known fact that most of the people in the US are lazy.
Your wise comments forget to mention the fact that blacks are no good and it's a known fact women shouldn't worry their little heads with politics.
What you fail to realize is that these companies are using rebates as nothing more then a marketing tool to generate business with little to no intention of fulfilling them. Reference Best Buy.
You obviously havent bought from wirefly. They were purposely sending out expired rebate forms to customers so they didn't have to pay out. Cingular has called them out on this and filed a suit some time ago according to my RAE. I have had literally 100's of customers from 2005 that bought from wirefly and had the same xperience. I see your point about lazy customers, but this is one of those situations wgere the company issuing the rebates is in the wrong, not the customer being lazy and not filling out the form correctly or not sending it in at all.

It just isn't relevant to the news post. That's why you are getting all these people who are pointing out the facts from the news article.
I will admit, I generally do not send in rebates that are less than $30.
The difference is, though, that I have a CHOICE on whether or not I get the rebate - I can fill out the form properly and send it in or not.
Wirefly sounds like they make that decision for you - that doesn't just suck, it's immoral.
I never once said mail in rebates were good. I never said that the "billion dollar corporate daddies" are good.
My whole point was that YOU have a choice - YOU don't have to purchase something that has a mail-in rebate.
And as for the little guy, he's the one that cheats and steals every chance he gets. He's the one telling me he never dropped his phone in water when the indicators are all red and their is water sloshing around in his screen. He's the one telling me it's my fault that the deadline on the rebate passed before he even bothered to read the thing. He's also the one who wants to look at a phone, and then tries to pocket it as I am standing next to him.
The little guy is no sain...
