That's good advice  for any rebate from anyone.

I refuse to purchase anything with a MIR, and I try to make sure the vendor 
knows why I did not purchase. This nonsense will not stop until the sellers 
realize it doesn't work.

An exception is Verizon, I got my rebate from them in a week, of course it was 
in the form of a Visa debit card, that they are hoping I will leave a residual 
small amount on and just forget about it.
