So if you forget to turn in that 20 buck main-in rebate, then that's just money they made off ya. So its better to just mail it in immediately. Don't let them have the benefit of the doubt. :wink: so they don’t have to give it to you instantly and the other reason is, like you said, alot of people forget.

That's the best way to save. What I do is when I buy a product and bring it back home, the first thing I do, prior to even setting it up, is do the mail-in rebates, put it in an envelope with its specs and get it ready to send. Best way to do it -- its money man that you will get back in the mail in a month. Its great. :smile: They should do it in India too.

The printer was advertized as $49.99 in one of their instore sale papers. But the price was $99.99 and they had $20.00 mail-in-rebate from the Epson which made it $79.99. On top of that Best Buy had special mail-in-rebate for $30.00 this friday and staurday which made the printer cost me $49.99 ...but they charged me $108 + sm cents n handed me the mail-in-rebate receipts. The catch here is that they charged me sales tax for $99.99 but advertized that printer for $49.99. Everytime I buy a mail-in-rebate product, I promise myself not to buy it next time....but I fall into the trap. Y do they even have mail-in-rebates? If they wanna give the customers some discount then they can give it instantly. or may be sell that printer for $55 - $60 with instant rebate. Most of the people forget about the <acronym title="Mail In Rebates">MIR</acronym>s and the companies earn a lot of extra money. I think these are scams and MIRs should not be there.

I was also wondering about the pingback. Did u allow pings for the post? Yeah puneet, 4 dartridges do help in saving money. I think its great that these days the technology is available everywhere in the world at the same time. A few years ago the products that were available in US would come to Indian markets atleast after an year or so. Thanks Poonam. I was also wondering about the pingback.
