I wish I never heard of the "rebate."
I did the printer rebate, at least I may eventually get it. I didn't need the printer, but the apple store employee said that it could be done online, so I took the printer (which I gave to my dad.)
After doing the online form, I found out I needed to still chop up both boxes and send in the upc codes. I do that, the upc code for the printer has an apple price tag over it, and since I didn't want to void the deal I did not peal it off.
Two weeks after I mailed it off, I get a message that I am denied because the printer UPC code was unreadable? It was an apple sticker on top of it, they could have just pulled it off to read what they needed to underneath! Then to add insult to injury the email I received told me I am suppose to fill out a form that they did not bother to include in the email.
I call the apple phone number, am faxed the form, and then I send it back an hour later. I call a week later because I had not heard anything. They then tell me that they don't know if they got the fax, can't check, and to call back in another week.
I call yesterday, and they said that I am now suppose to call them every week, as it takes them 2 months to process the form, if they actually received it, which they still can't tell me.
I wonder how big this fax machine is, I can see about 2 months worth of faxes just sitting in a huge 4 foot pile on the floor. I like my new apple computer, but their rebate department is a cluster....
