Rebates are only sent in by a small percentage of the consumer. Even a smaller percentage follow the directions correctly, that means that they only have to give a small amount of money back. It's marketing. Shady marketing, but it brings the customers in.

Read this all the way through. It explains rebates very well.

You shouldn't have to go through that BS in the first place. And no, over half the time people don't get their money back unless the beg.

I agree that Rebates are a Headache, but if us dealers (custom Computer Makers) don't use them then the OEM (HP-Dell-Sony-Gateway) will eat up the Lion's share of the Computer Business.
