Help - my rebate check expired

I bought a 450 watt power supply at CompUSA and then sent in all the
paperwork to get a $20 rebate. When I got the rebate check I put it in my
wallet and promptly forgot about it.

It says: VOID after 12/30/2005. Has anybody had this problem and figured
out how to get another check. I didn't try anything yet. The check has a
bank name and account number and an address in Clara City MN. Also I still
have a photocopy of the paperwork I sent in to get the check.

TIA Bill S.

Avoid rebates like the plague. Most times, they are probably a scam
to avoid returns.

Tell them you just got it. It must have gotten lost in the mail and would
they please send out another.

Tell me then, troll, what is the purpose of rebates besides
preventing returns?

And if you had any intelligence you would see its a matter of an
expired check not the inability to properly submit requirements.

If rebates are sooooooo good, then why don't the store just drop
the price? Mention 'rebate' and I don't buy.

1) A significant group of the buyers will not 'fulfill the
requirements. So there is no 'sale' for them.
2) The rebate center sells your information, thus, you get junk
mail.

Too bad you're so stupid.

me too (unless it's instant rebate)
