Their latest dodge -- the cards I received had no phone number. They
gave me an address where I could "submit the missing item(s)". Their
scam is that they will make it more difficult than it's worth to get
the rebate back. My response is the only rational choice -- discourage
rebates by boycotting products (and retailers) which use them.
