I see it all the time, a lot on here.. what is the point in a MIR (mail in rebate)?? They usually take 4-6 weeks to receive if you're lucky and nowadays its usually a stupid rewards credit card type thing that is just a hassle to activate and deal with. I will not buy anything because of a rebate, if I do I certainly don't send out for it.
What is your opinion? Do you guys seriously send off for the $5 MIR on a gallon of oil and wait 4-6 weeks to get a card? How is this practical for a manufacturer? It HAS to cost them more than the $5 to process the return, make the card, mail it back out, etc.! Why not just give you the $5 off right there on the spot?? Why does it have to be so difficult??
Off my soapbox now....
