Alienware $500 Rebate

Has anyone ever recieved this rebate. I've been waiting since DEC for my rebate and I have got nothing. I've contacted Lisa and she says it's waiting a signiture. It's been a week or two now since it has been awaiting the "signature". So, has anyone ever recieved the rebate and if so how long did it take.

Or maybe

SuperDiva was just bad in a previous life and deserves this treatment from Alienware.

Or maybe Alienware already shipped it but the UPS lost it.

Or maybe the guy that is supposed to sign it has skipped town just ahead of a posse.

Or maybe...

Heh, add to the list. There's at least a 1001 reasons that Alienware has at their disposal to explain thier ineptness.

Superdiva, got my $500.00 rebate a couple of days ago and I think Charlielx got 1 of the 2 he has coming also. How is everything going with your computer?

Badura, chill out. It said right on the rebate form to allow up to 24 weeks for processing and delivery. I got mine as promised with no problems, and I didn't even have to put in an angry phone call either.

got it today, but I had to push a lot to get any info. Lisa helped out a great deal though.
Still love the computer, extremely happy, just standard Alienware dealings though.

Sigh...

Scrotius,

I'm cool as a cucumber.

I'm curious about something though. Why do you suppose it takes them 24 weeks...that's 6 months for the simple folks like me, half-a-year , to refund a promised rebate but only hours to charge your credit card for a machine that in the best case will take them months to ship? If they ever ship it at all.

Why so fast to take and so dogged slow to give back?

Badura, you know it takes time to cut down trees and then wait for the trucks to pick up the trees to take them to the paper mill.

Then they take the trees off the trucks and grind them up into pulp were then they make the paper.

Then you have to wait untill they load the trucks with the finshed paper to take it to the printer so that AW can turn it into checks.

Then it comes time in getting the ink for the printing of the checks an most likly that comes from China so it will take about 3 weeks to get to the USA where then it has to be loaded on trucks and shiped to Florida to AW.

Now it takes time to load the ink into the printer and lets hope it not near any holidays where thing just come to a stop.

Then they have to find a person that can spell (of which I can't) and then they have to find a person that can read (in English too).


Then it comes time to print the paper and install the ink. This all takes time, you now its in phase 9 were it does not move for about 3 weeks.

Finaly its done, now they mail it and its lost in the mail, they say its out of there hands, but they will call you when they find out anything of which they never do.

Now you have the check in your hand after 180 days of waiting. lets just hope its the right amount and the right person signed the check.

Up to 6 months for a rebate!? That's outrageous and unacceptable for a company to do that. I guess they hope you forget about it so they don't have to send it. Even Dell will give you instant rebates on their website. Another reason to stay away from AW.
