Rebates - Bonus Or Rather A Rip Off?
Rebates have become increasingly more common in the last few years on a lot of products and definitely on electronic items and computer systems. Rebates of $20, $50 or $100 are not unusual.
I've even noticed items advertised as "free after rebate". Do these rebates occur under the headline of "too good to be true"? A few of them do and there are "drawbacks" to watch out for but if you are watchful, rebates can help you get some very good offers.
The way a rebate works is that you invest in the listed amount for an item then mail in an application form and the bar code to the vendor and they send you a refund thus cutting down the price of what you paid for the item but with a time delay of numerous weeks.
Rule #1. Rebates from reputable companies are usually okay.
You can be fairly certain you will get the guaranteed rebate from Best Buy, Amazon or Dell but you should most likely not count on getting one from a brand name you've never heard of. If you really want the item and are OK with paying out the price listed then buy it but don't count on actually getting the reimbursement.
Rule #2. Check rebate end dates.
Too often merchandise will stay on the shelf of a store after the date for sending in the rebate offer has expired so check that date carefully.
Rule #3. Make sure you have all the forms required to apply for the rebate before you leave the retailer.
Rebates will almost always need a form to be filled out, a receipt for the money spent and a bar code.
Rule #4. Back up your discount claim.
Make copies of everything you send in to get your rebate plus the bar code. Things get lost in the mail all the time and if the rebate is for $50 it's really worth the bother to backup your claim.
In sum, the above information is extremely useful on educating you how to sensibly invest your money while securing your expected financial return. To take your monies to the next level, invest in something more financially rewarding, search keywords under "going public", "merger company" or "merger companies" and turn to a professional.
