I'm hoping THIS ordeal is over
A bit ago, I ordered a system from them. There "is supposed" to be a sizeable rebate. Now, I tend to treat rebates as a contract. The seller agreed, they are not "optional". However, the flaming hoops you have to crash through in order to actually OBTAIN the rebates seems to be impossible. You have to............
1....Perform the Steve Martin field sobriety test
2....Apply for honorary part time citizenship in Cuba. Since this actually involves GOING to Cuba and bribing officials down there, this is a bit difficult
3...Pass the requirements for the next NASA manned probe. The requrements are not really all that difficult..........if i was still 30 years old. Now that I'm 67, this is not that easy. Plus, NASA does not tell you that "you might not come back."
So I finally got 20 bucks out of Tiger. Out of 60. In a gift card. Which is a pita. An American Express card which few places around here accept------that I frequent, anyhow.
So after 3 or 4 meaningless phone calls to "rebate tech" I called Tiger, and got assurance it would be taken care of
NADA
Three more emails. And one return telling me it's being taken care of. NADA
So I wrote one more email. And got a return. They wanted to send me a "gift" of 20 more bucks. No, I said, it was more like FORTY more, and THAT does not cover my WAGES lost for all the time it's taken!!!!
SO FINALLY they have now decided to just give me a 40 dollar gift card. Well, we'll see
