Always keep a photocopy of all the materials you send in on a rebate
offer to document that you have complied with the instructions.
I usually just snap a picture with my camera, print it and date the
print, as well as when I expect to receive the rebate by. I call or
use the web to check if it seems delayed.
Just got a $40 rebate on a hard drive I bought last July. They
claimed at first that I hadn't sent the SKU tag. I supplied a copy of
the print and they paid up. Took their time about it, for sure, but
it was nice to receive that forty bux.
