Carol, This is not for just Tiger Direct and On Rebate but most rebate forms that I encounter. It is frustrating, I know, when you find out that you have been denied because you made a mistake, but that is part of the game that rebate companies make. I believe the reason why they want a UPC symbol is that there is one per item and it would be difficult to duplicate this item, where it wouldn't be so hard to counterfit a bill of sale. Therefore they do want you to prove that you did indeed buy the item and keep it. Tiger Direct at least allows, in many cases, to send copies and not the originals of the documentation, which is far easier that some rebates when one is trying to cut the UPC off of some huge corregated box.
