Could be depending on what the product was....I got my
$30 rebate check without any problem other than checking
the rebate site & not seeing my entry. I did remember
tho that entries on any rebate website isn't done or
appear until the expiration date of a rebate; at least
that is what it appears to me. My rebate was for a
Panasonic DVD recorder without a harddrive.
The biggest problem is that the postal "service" don't
forward any rebate checks to a new address; the rebates
apparently "disappear" somewhere without a trace.
