Toshiba Laptop Rebate Bait and Switch Winsted MN Nationwide

I purchaed a Toshiba laptop in April 2015 at Staples in Folsom California. There was a $50.00 Rebate, which I decided would be a great incentive to purchase that brand over others. I completed the form as directed and attached everything required. Then two months later, when I'm supposed to get the $50.00 prepaid Visa card, I get a notice from Toshiba, PO Box 939, Winsted, MN 55395-0939 stating my submission for the Toshiba Offer was declined for the following reasons: *A valid Serial Number was not submitted from a valid Toshiba Notebook.

*Submission did not include an original UPC from a valid Toshiba laptop. The notice included an 888 number to call: (888) 221-4317. I have been calling that number for three days, with no success of getting through. I will NEVER buy another Toshiba product ever again.
