rebates from newegg are sent to agencies whose job is to go through all of them and then send out the money to those who properly fill out the rebates and reject those who dont. Often their purpose is to delay or deny as many rebates as they can (like OCZ, I sent in a rebate and they said that they never got it. So i fill it out again and photocopy the UPC and send it out again, this repeated 3 more times until they said they got it but their was no UPC attached to it which was a load of bull.) while others like corsair or evga haven't given me any problems whatsoever.
