*I've done probably over 100 rebates. Only had 2 that I never received, 1 because the company filed for bankruptcy (I got a postcard to that effect), and 1 because I didn't read the fine print closely enough. Sometimes they're declined, a simple follow-up is almost always all that is required.

The whole point of mail-in rebates are companies hoping idiot consumers forget about it and dont follow up. Do not support mail-in rebates. They are scams. They are not deals.

It's not a "scam" if you are capable of following the simple directions. I've received every single rebate that I've submitted in the last 25+ years.
I submitted many rebates to Newegg and many other stores and never had a problem. You may need to read and follow their simple instructions and don't try to scam or abuse rebates.

How is it a scam if YOU forget to submit a rebate, or don't completely fill out what is required? I have gotten every rebate i have ever submitted, and not just from newegg. Amazing how many people blame a company when 9 times out of 10 it's something they did, or didn't do.

I have bought 2 items with rebate this year from newegg and both arrived no problem. Takes a long time though.
