OnRebate - TigerDirect scam Need other for class action suit BOCA RATON Florida
I'm another person frustrated with dealing with OnRebate and Tiger Direct.
I've filed a complaint with the FTC and recommend everyone else do the same here... http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/cmplanding.shtm
I'm also in the process of acquiring an an attorney to proceed with a class action suit against either/both companies, as, in the case of CompUSA, the FTC ruled that the company selling the product is liable for the rebate if the rebate clearing house fails to perform... http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/03/compusa.shtm
My purchases were made and rebates accepted in May of 2006. I waited until September 2006 to contact onrebate, as 2 months should be more than enough time to issue an electronic rebate.
After receiving this response,
Thanks for your email.

Please be aware, the information given in the previous rebuttal "by a TigerDirect.com employee" is a complete fabrication. Furthermore, upon contacting On Rebate, we were advised and provided details regarding payment on all your rebates. According to their records nothing is currently pending, do if you still feel you're owed any amount please contact me at Patrice.Altine@Tigerdirect.com, and I will look further into your order.

Information came directly from a tigerdirect employee. He stated (verbatim):
Heres how it works. they get in 100% of the rebates sent. They immediately scrap and shred 10% of them, unless they are certified mail. From that, the rebate manager is supposed to redeem at least 60% of whats left over. he doesn't. he fakes the paperwork, and everyone including the CEO knows about it. he only approves around 20%. the rest he denies for no reason or tosses out the UPC code and says its missing or whatever. people usually dont waste time fighting the denial. He pockets the rest of the budget and pays off his Lamborghini that his fat a*s ca barely fit in.
