Alot of people will buy a product that offers a rebate, but not read the fine print. Co wins $$$ because you get no rebate. or You read fine print & do everything right & get the $0.50 to 5.00 rebate. The Co still wins. Instead of lowering prices they have gotten you to wait 3 months for a rebate. All that time, they are earning interest. If everyone took advantage of rebates it would proably kill the average co.
