I bought two hard drives both different model numbers from Future Shop for Christmas gifts. I called today asking where my rebates were. The rep said that they did not receive them. I was then advised to resubmit my photocopies (glad I had them). During this process, the rep said: 1. both different models of the hard drive had the same promotion code. 2. She then proceed to tell me that the amount of the promo is different then the one on my rebate forms 3. The promotion is good only for one person/household/address So, according to the rep, even though I bought two units, I would only get a rebate for one. I made a formal complaint to the Canadian Competition Bureau about this unfair tactic. They will investigate.

Go back after futureshop for failing to state this in their promotion. I have time and time again looked at their advertising and it never states on any of the rebate deals that there are limits to quantity per item type.

Yes, except in my case the fine print is printed on the sales slip AFTER the transaction has taken place. And yes, always read the fine print. Don't assume.
