aj4545 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Is Circuit City very good at sending you the rebate money or do you typically have problems with them? The 11" digi frame in their ad today looks like a pretty good deal but I don't want to waste my time if they are a pain about honoring rebates. Please please tell me your CC rebate experience!! Any info would be helpful!!! TIA!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyWLS Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've never had an issue with them, but do keep copies of whatever you send them since my experience has been that you'll get your rebate at almost exactly the end of the time they say you will. So if they say 6-8wks for a rebate, you'll more than likely get it at 7wks and 6 days. I haven't ever gotten one, but keeping copies makes me feel better if I had to call and argue with them.

onesilverbeetle Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 bought ram @ circuity city a couple years ago, saleperson said you could do multiples, when in reality it was one per address. I had a couple friends help me out. One of the rebate checks bounced circuit city was no help at all. I'll never shop there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerfan Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Last year I bought a bunch of things from them with rebates. I got the checks but some took forever. I had to send in copies for 3 of the items. It is hit or miss with them. I was also looking at the digital frame but when I wnet online there is no mention of the rebate it says the price is $139.00 after $50 savings. I am going to the store to check it out. IF I can get it with the rebate, then I think I will p/u 2 one for me and one for my sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shann Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I have never had a prob w/ their rebates. Three years ago I bought a whole bunch of items from them on BF that required rebates and got them all. You can also go to their site and check the status of your rebate, at least you used to be able to. I do agree, they usually come at the end of the time period.

thechef71 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I got a rebate for a laptop at circuit city last year it came near the end of the time period. The people in the store aren't much help when it comes to questions about the rebate form though hey nice avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingy Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Between 4 of us we had a terrible time with CC's BF rebates. We didn't end up getting them until May and only after I started sending e-mails. Some we never did get. We had over 16 different rebates and they all ended up comming on the same day after CC said they had no record of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbieshops2003 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I've never had a problem. In fact once, I forgot to mail in my rebate. I called. They honored it even though I didn't mail it in time. They were totally cool about it and very helpful. Of course the people in the store will not be able to help you. They have a different department that handles rebates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamilleon Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have done CC rebates in the past without a problem. Like others have suggested, photocopy EVERYTHING and document when you mail things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbamother Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 This thread makes me feel better cause we are doing our first CC rebate ever (for the 22" Acer monitor we bought on BF) and I've really been worrying about it. I've never had a problem with grocery rebates, but I've had several problems with electronic items. Still waiting on the rebate for that RCA EZ101 camcorder from Overstock that I bought back in June, and from what I read, everyone else who bought it is too.

zinnbball Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I did rebates on 5 CC items last year (several hundred $$). EVERYONE of them was return with the exact same post card, item was not purchased in the right time frame. I kept copies of each. I called, and magically there was not a problem. They "fixed" it and I had them within a week. That is a week, after waiting 3 months, and making a phone call. It was just really suspicious that they all came back with the same rejection, yet when I called, there was no problem at all. In my opinion, you will get your money, if you follow up, but they are the worst of the worst and you better make sure you have copies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
