I am widely known as an all-around cheery person, always smiling, happily prancing through life and hardly ever complaining. Just like a poet said:
Who can turn the world on with his smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
(followed by loads of incoherent gibberish about some girl)
So don’t take this as a complaint, it’s more of an amusing piece of correspondence I received after sending in for my $10 rebate.
To summarize: to receive my ten bucks I would need to do stuff beyond the regular tedious stuff you have to do to get a rebate.
Here is the reply I composed and mailed to the “headquarters”:
Dear Keep It Genuine Program Headquarters
It is hard to believe that you expect me to contact the dealership for an additional documentation in order to receive my $10 rebate after I followed ALL of the required steps “to receive your redemption”, specifically step 2: “Make a copy for your records and attach your original sales receipt (repair order)”. Nowhere does it request that the receipt should have any specific information like part numbers, technician names or anything else. Considering that the page I submitted had a Ford invoice number and Ford dealership information it should’ve been an easy task for one of the Ford employees to obtain this information if it’s so important to you.
I am attaching another page from the invoice; hopefully it satisfies your stringent requirements that separate me and $10 your company owes me.
Next time please consider including more specific instructions with your rebate forms since you are so particular about the submitted paperwork. I don’t expect to be asked to waste any more stamps and will be waiting impatiently for my redemption.
Thanks in advance
Good grief man… they don’t expect you to actually claim the rebate…. how inconsiderate of you
Wow!
I went through a similar thing with direct TV. I filled out an online redemption form, it was supposed to knock 30 bucks a month off my bill for 6 months. They claimed to never have recieved it, then claimed it was just an error. The dicked me around until the offer expired, then told me I couldnt get the break on my bill because I didnt get my form in on time. I told them I was setting their shit out on the curb and to come pick it up before trash day.
I got my redemption, go figure.
I would have said, next time I’m buying a Honda and then I won’t need any repairs or rebates.
Love is all around, no need to waste it. You can have a town, why don’t you take it. You’re gonna make it after all.
I had a Honda, battery went out a week after the warranty expired and they wouldn’t budge. This was just an oil change promotion,they started doing it instead of coupons and you know I am cheap.
