Visa Rebate Card

I've had a number of $100 rebate cards from Verizon for rebates on cell phones and my son has gotten quite a few $50 cards from his employer for bonuses. There is a number on the back you can call that will tell you what amount is left on the card and as long as what you are buying is equal to or less than the value of the card, you're fine. As has already been said, if the amount is more than the value of the card, you can ask the cashier to charge that amount then pay the difference with cash or even another card. It really isn't that big of a deal so I don't understand the attitude where you say "I will never consent to nor request a rebate in this manner again!". For the most part, you can use it just like a credit card.

Apparently, you didn't really read my posts or possibly even the others, or you would have known that what you said has already been posted. The only part that you said that I can address is your statement regarding my attitude toward this form of rebate. If you are satisfied with this manner of rebates, that is fine...obviously I am not, and if you can't understand that, it would be a waste of time for me to try to explain.

I guess you missed in my post where I said "As has already been said..." before I reiterated some stuff. You also chose to ignore the new info I included.

The reason it would be a waste of time for you to explain it to me is because you can't explain why you are ranting about something so inconsequential.

I got one of those rebate cards when I purchased my EVGA Nvidia GT 210 and took me a couple of months to get the rebate and a couple of more to use it but spent it at the local Computer parts retailer on more parts. Then when I was planning my new system and originally purchasing an EVGA HD 570 with same type rebate the following happened after I cut out the box UPC bar-code and remitted for rebate. The card was DOA on arrival and at first the retailer did not want to replace defective card due to UPC bar-code missing from packaging but did replace it with a supposedly better higher priced ASUS card, However the missing UPC bar-code cost me the difference in price as the retailer was originally going to replace at no charge and I am still awaiting the rebate.
