Now, _that_ is truly special. I know that some rebate companies like to make the requirements so convoluted that you are likely to miss Step 3.4a because it was written on the second receipt that you forgot to grab before leaving the store (and then the rebate delay is long enough that you don't find out you screwed up until the deadline is at least a month gone), but I've never heard of a rebate requirement that was physically impossible to properly submit. That would be the point where I'd be calling up the Shack's 1-800 number and suggesting that they might want to honor the rebate in spite of the UPC not being included on the basis that if they _were_ offering a rebate that you couldn't claim, they could be facing a nasty class-action lawsuit over it.

These assholes dicked me around for MONTHS saying my purchase wasn't made in the correct timeframe - it, in fact, was. I sent in all the proper documentation.
Fuck you, rebatestatus, i hope a dog shits on your grave.

Of course, this IS chapter 11, and not chapter 7. Which means the company is still operating.

It's like a surprise lottery, only not QUITE as retarded as the actual lottery.

Having worked in the same office space as a company that processes rebates/contest entries, many of these companies are as low budget and fly-by-night as one can get. The office basically smelled like a combination of stripper in daylight, trailer park, meth lab, and cocktail lounge.
People would walk out w/ a mail crate of entries (your personal information) and never return. Or, they'd be doing entry at home and their trailer would burn down. Or any number of oddly appropriate calamities related to this.

"This is why I don't bother buying things w/ "rebates"."
"I have received less than 1 in 10 rebates I have applied for."
Soooooo, do you or don't you?
