End of the rebate saga ... for now

I finally received my last rebate check on my waiting list. So as of now, I received all the rebate application that I summited. Never the less, I think rebate is not that worthy unless you are really willing to devote a lot of time to track, follow up, send hate mail, call, make angry call and so on and so fore in order to get your rebate. In most case, I don't think it' worthy. Some stores does better job on processing rebate, like Circuit City. Getting money from their rebate is relatively easy. Some companies, like Samsung, prolongs the rebate process to a point that I almost decided not to buy their product anymore just to revenge on the pain and agony I suffered from he process.
