This is the part that concerns me. Why should a rebate program care if you pay by cash? Seems like they want access to your credit card info. Although I'm not sure how they'd get it since it is usually X'd out on the receipt only showing the last four digits.

The other thing that bugs me is the capitalizing every word thing. That's just not a normal way to type. Most offers are not written that way.

Well I decided to do some googling on this company and found some very interesting information. One-people are having the hardest time getting the rebates back Two-alot of people are getting rejections because they "didn't" meet the requirements of the program. So I guess the answer is this is too good to be true. I told DH if he had anything he was going to sign up for I wanted to know about it first. I don't have time to waste on rebates that aren't legit.
