When I decided to buy a Palm Tungsten E PDA the other day, I decided to buy it at Radio Shack, for I was told by the sales-droid that there was a $25 rebate on the Tungsten E. Sure enough, right on their computerized receipt is the notation "$25 MIR [Mail In Rebate] PDAS", so I figure all is well. I'm filing today when I notice that there is a notation that "Qualifying PDA SKU's" must be one of the following... one of which is NOT my Tungsten E.
Alright, must be an oversight. I call the store that I bought it from, they puzzle over the unlisted SKU, and tell me to call the 800 number (actually, it's an 888 number). I do, the fellow that eventually answers (who is very nice, by the way) doesn't have any information about the rebate offer I have; asked to hold on, I do and he disappears for a bit. He comes back to tell me that there's NO REBATE on this PDA for which I WAS PROMISED A REBATE.
Rebates really are a scam and a ripoff -- what do they think we are, stupid? I'm going to try and return the Tungsten E tomorrow; if I don't get my money back, well, I used my credit card for a reason.
Don't believe what Radio Shux tells you!

Radio Shack Rebate RIP-OFF
AUTHOR: Cory - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 23, 2004
I had the same thing happen to me at radio shack over a cell phone. Aganist my better judgement, we purchased two Sprint cell phones 9/02 with the promise of one $50 rebate, which the salesmen printed up the form off the register. Sent it in to Sprint and get a form letter back from Sprint telling me that those phones don't qualify for any rebate. What a RIP-OFF. Went in to a Sprint store last Sunday 3/04 called customer service to find out if my one year contract was up and said if they wanted to keep me as a customer I expected a $50 credit on next month's bill. The service rep got the manager on the line explained the situation to him and had him credit me $50. Well done for Sprint, Screw you radio shack. To avoid this RIP-OFF in the future don't shop at radio shack.
