		I called the Circuit City number again, and after explaining the situation, another Circuit City customer service rep. (Kallis) told me that he was able to read the forms.
		Therefore, it appears that this practice of rejecting otherwise valid rebate submissions continues to date, and that Circuit City is fulling aware and complacent in the practice.
		I believe that Circuit City should honor rebates filed by individuals who purchased items online at circuitcity.com, unless they can prove that the rebate forms explicitly state that "purchase at a retail location" was required, or that "purchase at CircuitCity.com is not valid" for the rebate.
