Something worth announcing

I finally got a rebate check! BFG sent me a rebate check for the power supply I purchased from them! Why is this so exciting? Well, I’ve sent in every Mail-In Rebate available to me my whole life. Like 3-5 a year. It’s been at LEAST 10 years since I’ve received a check from any of them. Sega, and the like, used to always come through; but the days of honest electronics companies seem to be leaving us. I would say over time I’ve sent in about $1000 worth of rebates that never came back to me. Most of which were from CompUSA, which as I was informed by there employees(when they were still around here) is commonplace to NOT receive your rebates, ever. No offense to the company itself…it’s just….I never received about 15 rebate checks… so wtf?!?!

Sweet! Thanks BFG! Not only is the power supply amazingly cool, quiet and powerful, but you made good on your word!

I have some out to OCZ right now too. OCZ has mailed me a letter back requesting the UPC be sent in also(ya, my bad – totally forgot). So I sent that back to them, UPC included. Sounds hopeful so far, let’s hope they come through as well!

Update:

So here is some more good news… OCZ came through! I got my rebate from them. Thanks OCZ for helping restore my faith in Mail-In-Rebates by continuing the streak!
