Anybody good at Mail-In Rebates?

Buy.com has a 1 GB Kingston SD card for $45.00 with free shipping. There's a rebate offer of $45.00 for the card. Details here.

Only if you mail in the rebate and they pay out the cash. Kingston, however, is fairly good. I just have a really bad record for mailing in rebates...

Yes, I've had issues with rebates before. I believe that he manufacturers intentionally make the instructions and requirements so complicated that a very high percentage of folks who do attempt to get rebates are rejected. I tend to keep good records and am very persistent, however. The squeakuy wheel usually gets the grease.

I HATE rebates. Despise em. It's dishonesty, pure and simple. F*ck them!
