Thought you might appreciate this news, or be mad about it like I am. It is
more the principle of the matter then the money. Over the New Year,
CompUSA had a cool sale on a 50 pack of CD-R 24x 80min CDs. They were
charging $19.99, with an instant $6.00 off at the register – with a mail-in
rebate for $14.00. Thereby making the CDs free, which is how CompUSA
advertised it. While I was reading the rebate terms and conditions, I
noticed a little verbage stating that the rebate can not be more the the
purchase price. Since my purchase price with the instant $6.00 off made my
total $13.99, I have a feeling that I will not be getting my rebate.
It upsets me to know that they purposefully did this to get people to buy their
product. I sent a note stating my feelings, but I am not holding my breath [for a resonse].
Thanks for letting me vent.

Why am I not surprised? While it remains to be seen whether or not the rebate will come, it wouldn't be the first time I've heard of such a situation. You should always read the fine print. It's so fine. Du lang, du lang, du lang.
