Beware any rebates that go through the rebate-processing outfit "Great
America"
I had one of these from a Western Digital hard drive that was returned
with
"Expired" stamped on the front, never even opened.
It was within the terms of the rebate.
Even after much! haggling, resubmission, and many months I haven't seen
anything back from this outfit.
It will be a "never again" for me and I strongly advise anyone else to do
the same.
