The time and trouble involved in making a rebate and then tracking it is never worth the rebate itself.

Many rebate offers are booby-trapped (you can’t possibly send them the correct documentation within the correct dates).

Basically, any rebate offers beyond instant rebate at the till should be ignored. They don’t really exist. Usually you can get within 5% of the best rebate price from a straight over the counter dealer in any case.
