Get Your Mail-In Rebate

by Steve Dasseos, The Trip Insurance Guru on December 22, 2008

I used to buy certain products because the Mail-In Rebate convinced me it was a better deal. It’s a good deal if you got the rebate 100% of the time with no hassle. Ocassionally, I got the rebate, but, in my experience, most of the time I’d either miss the deadline to apply for the rebate or I’d never get the rebate.

Finally, in 2007, I stopped buying items with a mail-in rebate. In fact, I steer clear of buying anything with a mail-in rebate. I thought it was the right decision, but now I know it was thanks to Asa Aarons’ very timely and useful article called Rebate Rights: Don’t Lose Out

Here’s an excerpt from Asa’s article:
“About 40 percent of all rebates are never redeemed because consumers fail to apply for them or their applications are rejected, according to estimates from Vericours Inc., a corporate consulting firm. That saves retailers and manufacturers more than $2 billion a year.
