Rebates? How...

Is it bad to buy stuff that I send in for rebates to get the item(s) free? It's not like I'm spending the money and never get it back, it just takes 4-6 weeks to happen.

So, I just need to figure out how to keep track of this stuff...do I use Post-Its, make an Excel spreadsheet, post it on this blog? All three? I just don't know.

I guess I'll post it here, and make some sort of a note to myself, probably Excel. This way when the rebate check arrives, I know which card and how much to pay back.

  2. I'm not sure what you mean because I'm not doing anything wrong. People send in for rebates all the time.

    One of the most recent rebates I did was for bottled water. If you send in your receipt with the proper rebate form showing that you spent $10 on two or more cases of water, I receive a full refund less tax (70 cents).

    This is perfectly legal, so I hope you can see why I'm confused by you comment.
