Mail-In Rebates

I remember my first and only time sending in one of those. It was for a USB drive I bought like 10 years ago. $25 with a $10 rebate. I was so pleased with myself after sending it in...only to get a letter back saying they didn't receive the bar code that I definitely mailed to them.

Never again.

It does seem so archaic now...though I suppose it's easier to get around paying rebates if there's no electronic confirmation, so maybe they make more money this way. Idk...I suppose I'm just jaded.

Or it was mailed in 'late'.  I remember one having a ridiculously short return period and actually missing out on it.
