This has happened to me, I think. Filled out a rebate for a printer, mailed it in, and... nothing. I understand companies outsource rebate processing, and so it wouldn't surprise me if that meant perverse/anti-consumer incentives much like one sees with professional arbitrators.
Did you call them on it?
No. I'd long since lost most of the documentation, and it wasn't worth whatever effort it would have taken. What do you do, go to small claims court? That's at least a wasted day.
I just stopped paying attention to anything to do with rebates and price things at the original full price. Fool me once etc.
