Visa Rebate Card
When I bought my last EVGA graphics card, which had a $25 MIR, they gave a choice of waiting the usual amount of time for a check, or accept their "no wait" rebate via a Visa card, but only for $22. I chose the latter, since It seemed worth $3 to speed it up. However "no wait" really means only ~2/3 the wait time instead, since I just received an email saying that they had sent it, and now have to wait another week or so for USPS.
I was thinking of this card as being just a disposable card, to be tossed when spent, but the email spoke of it as being a means to receive other rebates. However, I have never seen this kind of rebate method being used before. Has anyone else?
