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.
