"I wouldn't buy anything from Best Buy. They've burned me once too often."

Roger that. And they appear to be trying to burn me. I am still trying to collect a rebate I sent off for about three months ago. When I call their rebate center to inquire about my $150 rebate they point the finger at the fulfillment place, give me a case number and tell me if I haven't received anything in 15 days to call them back. I'm on my third attempt at trying to collect this rebate! I think what they try to do is wear you down. They make you give up by making you jump through countless hoops. Whenever I call they are very polite and apologetic about it though. I am tempted to politely and apologetically contact my BBB & my state's attorney general consumer fraud division! Grrrr!

I've gotten all my rebates from Best Buy. It's CompUSA that screwed me out of two of them. But I just don't buy anything anymore based on rebates. Occasionally I send them in, but I no longer worry about whether I get the check. Life is just too short.
