Personally, I have never received a mail-in rebate in my whole life. And I have signed up for tons of things with mail-in rebate! Not even a company like Kingston gave me my rebate. None of my family members or friends have ever gotten theirs either! They either don't contact you at all, or tell you that they didn't receive something... they just always try to find a way to make you completely forget you were supposed to receive a rebate.
It's a good deal, but consider the price $178.

Not me... I'm too cheap to forget about them. I just send them off before I do anything else. Photocopy reciepts and UPC codes on the way home and its in the mail 15 min later.

A 5-year warranty is very nice. Tempting.
