All the rebate programs are scams because they are intended to confuse
or discourage as many as 80 percent of the people who are qualified from
actually getting the rebate. This method is now being used all over the

actually cost the manufacturer what it appears to cost. The solution is
for an internet lead boycott of all computer rebates.
