Rebate Secrets
According to a Boston-based market research firm, 20% of the people who fill out and send in their rebate forms don’t do so correctly and consequently never receive their rebates. Employees of rebate fulfillment houses back up this research, often bemoaning the fact that consumers don’t follow simple instructions.

Online Rebate Submission
The traditional mail-in rebate system is on its way out, giving way (like many consumer mainstays) to online rebate submission systems. Typically, the mail-in rebates for items like printers and computers required not only the cumbersome task of mailing all appropriate documentation but a waiting period of up to 10 weeks, typically six to eight weeks. The new online rebate systems, however, offer quick rebates, easier submission of supporting materials, and a tracking system similar to that of UPS (www.UPS.com)or FedEx (www.fedex.com)with a lag time of one day. The best part, however, is that rebate checks only take two weeks to get to their destination, which makes the rebate process much more efficient for consumers. The streamlined rebate process makes it possible for holiday shoppers to purchase electronic and consumer items around Thanksgiving and receive their rebate checks in time to pay off post-holiday credit card bills.
