onrebate.com scam

i suggest all stay away from onrebate.com merchants. i bought an ultraproducts x connect from zipzoomfly.com with a 30 dollar rebate. first the power supply was delivered with both fans broken, had to buy 2 replacements to use. then the onrebate.com scammed me out of the rebate. there are many complaints about onrebate. make sure you avoid them at all costs. don't say you weren't warned. both zipzoomfly and ultraproducts wash their hands of it. even though they are the ones advertising the rebate. i have filed a formal complaint with my states attorney general. but please, all avoid these scam artists.

I hate to tell ya. But this is pretty widespread with these types of companies.

OMG are you serious?

I just used them yesterday to send my ultra power supply and mid tower case.

Have you tried calling the company you were supposed to get your rebate from?

Scam?

I have applied for a $50 rebate in July and still waiting.. I lost faith on onrebate.com.

I bought a 19" LCD monitor form Tigerdirect.com and had to send in 4 rebate forms to get $160 back. I got all my checks within 1 month.

chiefjoseph is correct. Just try calling their customer service department.

I sent in the wrong UPC and had to call customer service for help and they were very helpful. Got all my rebate money back. It could be also because my purchase is from Tiger Direct.

Mine was a TigerDirect purchase as well. How did you get past their automated attendent? I chose to scream "I want to speak to a human" repeatedly until it acquiesced. I had to resubmit as well so as to include a barcode I had omitted originally. My rebate was "accepted" as of August 15. Still haven't seen that check...

I asked for "help desk" and bypassed all the automative stuff and got a real person.

Just visited the OnRebate site -- always the optimist -- hoping something had changed. Looks like they've had to remove the American Red Cross graphics. Hmm.....
