Complaint Review: Onrebate

In October of last year I purchased a new 300 GB
MAXTOR SATA HD for my computer from TigerDirect.

There was a $45 manufacturer's rebate offered.

I submitted the rebate info via email to Onrebate.com, got a confirming e-mail then
mailed in the required submission documentation.

On february 17 I received my $45 rebate check from Onrebate.com.

I subsequently cashed the check at my bank
and everything was fine until Friday(03/01/06).

I received a letter from the bank stating that the
rebate check had bounced and the bank had debited my account for the $45 and added a $25 charge for a returned check.

Now instead of a $45 rebate I now have a $70 loss!

I telephoned TigerDirect concerning this and was given the 1-888-222-9300 number for Onrebate.com.

I placed a call to Onrebate.com and finally gave up
after being 'on hold' for over 30 minutes.

I then sent an e-mail to support@onrebate.com
detailing what had occurred concerning the bounced rebate check and received no reply.

I see the TigerDirect logo at the Onrebate.com website. I believe these two are one in the same!

I won't be doing business with TigerDirect again and before I purchase any product w/ a rebate I'll make sure Onrebate.com isn't involved!
