Rebates

This funny. I got something from circuity during the thanksgiving sale and I still haven't received the rebates back. I need to get two $30 rebates back from them. The website says that they have been mailed more than a month back, but I still don't have them with me. How far should I go with this thing? A good part of the morning has been spent calling these people, being on hold, etc. It's probably to buy something without mailing rebates or just be prepared to lose that money. God, i wonder how much money is being made with these lost rebates and unpaid rebates. It's too much of a marketing strategy.
