Complaint Review: International Rebates

As an additional incentive to purchase a couch, the store offered $100 Gas Rebate card from International Rebates. A nice gesture, but not our reason for buying the couch.

We followed the 'details' of the rebate process...exactly, and mailed it within the time limits.

Initial mailing sent 24 Nov 2008...first $10 check arrived 12 March 09.
Second mailing sent 16 March 2009...three "We're still processing..." calls later and still no check as of 04 August 2009.

This is obviously a scam, but I refuse to let it 'slide'...

Luckily, this was not part of the real couch deal, but it is still disheartening to know that scam companies like this can operate legally (I suppose?) and nothing is done about it.

Perhaps if more dissatisfied 'rebaters' made this action public knowledge, things could change. As it is now, I just want others to know that that International Rebates appears to be a front for a 'Tony and Vito' operation.

Sorely disappointed,
