On-RebateTiger Direct & OnRebate 16 weeks rebate not paid, listed as payment pending. Company ignoring ALL requests and emails. REBATE FRAUD! Florida
I submitted my rebate with all required paperwork on 8/4/06, despite the negative reports of On-Rebate, I had OK luck with them in the past.
Apparently, they aren't paying out rebates any longer, and likely, are holding on to my money. It has been 16 weeks and my account has said "Payment Pending" for nearly 14 of those 16 weeks.
My emails are being IGNORED, customer service is failing to respond. I can only assume they intended to commit fraud, and unless I have resolution, I will file a report with my attorney general, and open a class action lawsuit.
This kind of customer service and fraud is intolerable, and I want some resolution on this matter.
My rebate tracking number is: DQGZJPQWVA7N9MX3

I also have been waiting (almost 4 months) after getting a payment pending message. After reading another complaint about OnRebate, I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and this is the response I got: Thank you for your correspondence to the Federal Trade Commission regarding rebates offered by companies. Rebate offers and coupons are, among other things, a form of price competition. While some manufacturers or sellers may conclude that simple price discounts will attract customers, others may believe that a rebate or coupon program will be a more effective means of advertising substantial savings to consumers. In general, no statute enforced by the Commission addresses the decision to adopt a rebate or coupon program. Thus, promoters of rebate or coupon plans use their independent business judgment in offering such plans to distributors or to the public. However, if a company decides to offer a rebate or coupon plan, it must fully disclose the material terms and conditions of the offer and must provide the promised rebate. If a company systematically fails to do so, it may be engaging in deceptive or unfair practices in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. Finally, you may wish to raise your concerns with the manufacturers or companies who offer rebates or coupons, since many companies appreciate comments from the public about their products and how they are marketed. You should also note that many companies hire independent companies to administer their rebate or coupon programs and are eager to hear about their performance. The Federal Trade Commission acts in the public interest to stop business practices that violate the laws it enforces. Letters from consumers and businesses are very important to the work of the Commission. They are often the first indication of a problem in the marketplace and may provide the initial evidence to begin an investigation. The Commission does not resolve individual complaints. The Commission does, however, act when it sees a pattern of possible violations developing. The decision to open up an investigative action depends on how widespread the practice is, how many consumers are hurt, how much harm is done, and how much evidence we have. We must also determine how much staff time and effort we can put into each case, and we must concentrate on the most urgent. We appreciate your taking the time to write. We hope the above information has been useful to your situation. Sincerely yours, Consumer Response Center Everyone needs to contact them!!! Then maybe we won't get the run-around!
