S<\/span>o, I just finished a mail-in rebate on a recently purchased piece of merchandise. What a sense of accomplishment!!! After that, I’m ready to apply for graduate school, the GMAT, or maybe even law school. <\/p>\n

I believe it may be easier to get a drivers license or a duplicate birth certificate than to follow all the rigermorale involved with mail-in rebates. <\/p>\n

Cut the UPC off of the actual box that the item came in? Seriously, you’re joking right? <\/p>\n

Look, we all know why mail-in rebates are so difficult to comply with and take even longer for the company to then process (6-8 weeks…again, I know people who have gotten passports faster than that, even in post 9-11 times). The company offering the rebate is banking on the fact that most people are either too lazy or just plain incapable of following through with mail-in rebates and their instructions. <\/p>\n

It’s money in the company’s pockets…plain and simple. The U.S. government should contract these mail-in rebate firms to process immigration forms and even citizenship requests. Al Qaida could never follow all those rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
