I'm mad as hell at Best Buy over these rebates! NEVER AGAIN!

I bought 3 items yesterday with rebates totaling over $200. So of course I want those rebates! 2 of the items were the same items and they never said the rebates were one per person and one per household. Well, I'll just have the other one sent to my mom and to her house. I can get over that. But I saw some people loading up on these. They will never get the rebates.

Now I bought a 19" Samsung flat screen monitor that had a $60 best buy rebate and two different $30 rebates thru samsung. Reading the two $30 rebates from samsung they won't give you both. So I might loose out $30. But of course the price they post in the sales paper shows you can get all these rebates but you can't. It's one rebate per person per house and can't be combined. What a scam! I called best buy customer service and basicaly said sorry we can't help you they are manufacturers rebates and we can't help you with those.

If the ad stated 1 $60 and 2 $30 then thats what you should get. Look at the address / offer numbers for the $30 rebate slips, are they different? Should be...

Just scan into your PC (if you have a scanner) or make photocopies of all the rebate materials. Send one rebate in with a copy of the UPC. When it is rejected call the customer service # and say the rebate fullfillment company evidently messed up. They will ask you for a copy of the UPC, form and receipt. They'll give you an address to send them to. Just make sure you make copies of everything. Toss the ball in their court. You'll get your money. I always have and I have been rebating for over 10 years (and do ALOTof it).

I'll never do this again with Best Buy. You know they bank on you not wanting to go thru the hassle and hope you won't try for the rebates and not mail it all in. I did get a customer service number for Samsung for the monitor rebate but they are only open Mon - Fri 7am to 10 pm. I'm going to call them monday before I send anything. Here's the # incase it helps anyone. 1-877-593-4193.

pretty much all rebates are one per household, i can't ever remember any decent rebates that weren't, just send them to another address, i've got 4 of several things and sending to 4 of my family and friends at other addresses. also if getting the same item get it on seperate reciepts each time so it looks like the other people got that themselves, if they are all on the same reciept they usually will not honor it.
