Karen of Harvard MA (7/23/05):
A newspaper ad showed an HP PC for $198 plus $99 shipping. It said there was a $180 mfr rebate, a $120 instant savings and $150 circuit city rebate. I went to the store with the ad and asked for the product with a few upgrades mentioned in the add. A written quote showed $280 in rebates. They sent me home with some rebate forms. I now realize that only $130 of rebates apply. The ad said $330 of rebates, which is what I based my decision to purchase on.

Lucas of Blacksburg VA (1/1/04):
I bought a Sony PCVRZ24G for $1699.99 with an advertisement of $100.00 rebate on 03/18/03. To date, I have not received any rebate even after resubmitting a serial number, UPC barcode and a P/N number. If I do not get this rebate, then I will sue both Sony and Cicuit City for selling products using false advertisement.

Phillip of Pomfret MD (12/1/03):
In April purchased Sony VAIO computer, Sony 15 inch flat screen monitor and HP combination fax/printer. I was told by the store manager to be sure to mail in the rebate coupons along with the UPC bar codes for my rebate of $150.00. This was done. It is now December 2003 and no sign of the rebate. While the computer has operated very well, I don't appreciate the dishonesty of Sony Rebate, purchases in the near future will not be a Sony product.

John of Noblesville IN (8/29/03):
Sent rebate information for Sony Dream System. They sent back a note saying I did not have the bar code. Bull! They did not send me any of my orginal information back to me other than this note. I suggest to anyone, not to purchase anything that says it has a rebate. They will not pay you unless you get an attorney which I have in the past and will do again on this item.
