Rebates - Bonus Or Possibly A Rip Off?
Rebates have become more and more common in the last few years on a lot of goods and certainly on electronic devices and computers. Rebates of $20, $50 or $100 are not uncommon.
I've even noticed items advertised as "free after rebate". Do these rebates appear under the headline of "too good to be true"? Many of them do and there are "catches" to look for but if you are careful, rebates can help you get some really good offers.
The way a rebate works is that you pay out the listed amount for an item then mail in an application and the bar code to the manufacturer and they send you a reimbursement thus reducing the price of what you paid for the item except with a time delay of numerous weeks.
Rule #1. Rebates from reputable companies are usually fine.
You can be fairly certain you will get the assured rebate from Best Buy, Amazon or Dell but you should probably not count on obtaining one from a company you've never heard of. If you really want the product and are OK with paying out the price listed then buy it but don't count on actually getting the reimbursement.
Rule #2. Check rebate end dates.
Often products will stay on the shelves of a retailer after the date for sending in the rebate offer has expired so check that date carefully.
Rule #3. Make sure you have all the forms required to apply for the rebate before you leave the retailer.
Rebates will almost always demand a form to be filled out, a receipt for the purchase and a bar code.
Rule #4. Make a copy of your rebate claim.
Make copies of everything you send in to get your rebate including the bar code. Things get lost in the mail all the time and if the rebate is for $50 it's well worth the bother to back-up your claim.
In short, the above advice is extremely beneficial on educating you how to wisely invest your money while securing your expected financial return. To take your finances to the next level, invest in something more financially rewarding, search keywords under "going public", "merger company" or "merger companies" and consult an expert.
