	I hate the rebates that never come! STP oil filters are
one of the recent jerks. First of all you spend $0.22 to send
it in; then it's $0.22 to follow-up. All for a lousy buck rebate.
I've given up on anything less than $2.00 or so.
	As far as following-up on the missing rebates, I've always
gotten the money without further difficulty. The next time I
write to get a missing rebate honored, I'm going to ask for postage
too. It's worth a try.
	I think most companies that have rebates are honest. It's
those lousy @!*%+& clearing houses in Young America, Minnesota that
always seem to loose the rebates. (BTW, did anybody out there ever pass
through Young America? Is it just a post office box in the middle
of nowheresville? No offense to The Land of 10,000 Lakes intended :-)
