"I found out later that rebate programs work because they help make the sales, but they rely on a large portion of the customer base failing to redeem their rebates on time."
-That is my first thought when I see these kinds of gimmicks. It's easy to imagine how the company could net several dollars for every dollar they spend to implement the gimmick. I just look at it and hope enough people jump through the hoops or purchase from another company to make it a lost cause for them. Gimmicks like these are an incentive for me to purchase elsewhere, unless the supplier jumps through the hoops for me. Jumping through all of the hoops is not very high on my list of priorities and not the sort of thing I enjoy doing especially when there is real work to be done. We get more than enough of that from the government as it is. Even worse would be the level of job satisfaction being employed to inflict that kind of **** on others. Thankful to be producing a real product rather than a gimmick.
phooey, rebates
