My experience with MIR's
Mail in Rebates look real good when you see them.
The problem comes in when, if, something go's wrong with the purchase.
I recently had to return a GPU to Newegg. It had a $25. MIR, which requires the "Original UPC", not a copy to be sent in with the forms in order to receive the $25. This means, I had to cut the UPC off of the original box.
Now, the problem.
Newegg, as part of the return policy, requires all of the original packaging, including the "Original UPC" to be intact.
Luckily, I did not send in the forms and the UPC to get the $25. rebate when I received the GPU.
If I had, I would have gotten the rebate, but lost the $150. I paid for the GPU and would be stuck with a bad GPU, then what ?
Bottom line, do not shop by a Mail in Rebate alone !
