Cooper tires US Auto Force Year-end rebate Rebate rip-off Alpharetta Georgia

 On 12-11-13, I went to Auto Select in Stevens Point, WI where I bought 4 Cooper tires.  I received info on a $50 Visa card rebate for these tires which I submitted in the next mail.  I was told it would take 4 weeks to get this Visa rebate card.  I waited  6 weeks and called the number for the rebate. I was told "We ran out of plastic to make the Visa cards and are expecting the shipment soon.  Your card should be in the mail in about a week." 

I waited 2 weeks and called again and was given the same answer.  I waited 3 more weeks and called to receive the same, exact explantion.  It is now over 3 months and I still have not gotten the Visa card rebate.

Is it really a "likely story" that they are waiting for the plastic to make these cards or is this just a total rip-off?  I have never herard this kind of a reason in my life.  They could just have easily went to a local store and bought cards to send out.  I am not happy with Cooper tires. 

When I complained to them and said I would not ever buy a Cooper tire again, their only response was "whatever makes you happy".

I say "rip-off"!!
