Circuit City and Best Buy have always upheld their rebates very well when I buy from them. CompUSA, however, is on the list of shaky retailers when it comes to the rebate department. I made out 13 rebates last December and January when I purchased my computer and various mice, CD-Rs, USB cables, etc from them. Of those 11, I saw only one -for $5- in the following 5 months. I was about to call them up but then, in a week's time, they managed to get me another $60 worth. That came in 6 rebates. I have waited patiently since then for the first ones I sent off...the big ones, but have yet to see them.
CompUSA is still in the red for me, and I haven't purchased anything from them that had a rebate attached since then. Best Buy has my business until I get that last $80...I'm not holding my breath.
I have been very pleased with Circuit City and Best Buy. I especially like Best Buy's rebate forms. Very convenient that they should be right there with the recipt. Why doesn't anyone else do that?
