Sorry, that's not an acceptable practice according to Canadian Competition Bureau. Future Shop says they will give me the rebate amount back or I can return the drive for a full refund (do you think they smell a lawsuit?) They know they screwed up. And, think about it. Just because it says something in writing, doesn't make it LEGAL. You buy two different items but it may be the same rebate code (that's NOT your problem). You are entitled to get two rebates. Of course, the work around is to have a rebate in a friend's name and address. Again, , that's not a fair practice. The CCB doesn't see that it is and that's ALL that matters. Also, this online rebate is NOT the same as the one I bought in **October**. Do you have a print out of my sales receipt? I didn't think so.
