I never got my rebate back from OD after my blackfriday purchase. But It has happened to me from many other retailers including Staples, where they advertise that getting rebates is easy. Now I don't even look at products with mail-in rebates.
I bought a camera worth 140 from Buy.com using google check out today today. I didn't get the $10 off. Then I called up Buy.com to find out why I didn't get this offer. The customer service rep told me that the offer is no longer valid.
I received my order today. Haven't had a look at them. My wife just told me that the items have reached home. I will see them in the evening and leet you guys know if the quality is good.
I was CostCo member. Switched to Sams club last year as it was near to my house. But I still visit Cost Co just to check out the prices. The following are my observations.
1> Sams Club is cheaper than Cost Co in most of the products they carry.
2> CostCo gets a brand of electronic products first and Sams Club follows it after a few months/weeks.
3> Cost Co carries a much better selection of garments.
4> Cost Co is more friendly to their members. Return policy is better implemented there.
5> Cost Co timing is worse than Sams Club.
6> Cost Co accepts Amex card where as Sams Club accepts Discover cards.
