<><><>
 The reasoning behind rebates in rather interesting.
Alot of people will buy a product that offers a rebate, but not read the fine
print.
Co wins $$$ because you get no rebate.
or
You read fine print & do everything right & get the $0.50 to 5.00 rebate.
The Co still wins.
Instead of lowering prices they have gotten you to wait 3 months for a rebate.
All that time, they are earning interest.
If everyone took advantage of rebates it would proably kill the average co.
