Micro Center FAR software + SH

I like how you put these in an easy list for us.

Intuit is only FAR with the purchase of TurboTax.

Avanquest/Nova Development is horrible at paying out their rebates. It will require several phones calls and persistence to ever get paid. I'm still waiting on a rebate from 12/03/12.

Nero is fulfilled by Velocity Fulfillment, but they take extremely long to fill rebates. I still haven't received a rebate that was mailed on 12/17/12.

Total Defense rebates are kind of shady as well:

Quote : The product must be activated prior to rebate redemption. Activation will require a valid credit card however your subscription may be cancelled at anytime. Total Defense will verify that the product has been activated.

Agreed on the Nova rebate. I got my check today, but I had to resend my invoice to them (which I know for sure I sent).

Yeah... they are known for shady tactics.

One time I had to call 4 times and get my claim "escalated" each time.

I don't think they send out the rebate unless you call and yet reputable companies like Frys, MicroCenter, Newegg and Office Depot continue to advertise their products for FAR.

I have called at least 5 times for each of the rebates I sent in, and I still have not received a few of them. One of the rebate they claimed that they sent out my rebate check, but I didn't receive it. Then Nova refused to cancel the rebate check and reissued it. They knew the check is never cashed, but they claimed it is their corporate policy.

Officedepot asked me to wait a few weeks so that they can look into it, but I doubt I would receive my rebate check ever. I am willing to wait a few more weeks now because I have a few more rebates with them(12/2/2012). I will contact the state attorney general sometime later. This is the first time I did rebates with Nova and it would be my last time. If only if I haven't rushed out to cash out my officedepot rewards.

shipping & tax kills the deal in CA
