	Rebate (marketing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The best-known type is the mail-in rebate, an offer in which the purchase of a product entitles the buyer to mail in a coupon, or a receipt and barcode[s] and receive a cheque for a particular amount, depending on the particular product, time, and often place of purchase.
		Rebate forms and special receipts are now usually printed by the cash register on a separate receipt.
		If the rebate is rejected, it may be difficult to resubmit it, since required documentation such as the original receipt is usually sent with the original request.

	Fool.com: Are Rebates Scandalous? [Commentary] April 10, 2003
		This marketing gimmick started to make a big comeback three years ago, and now mail-in rebates are so popular you rarely see the true price for certain products listed anymore.
		Rebate checks were not received and the same excuses were given by dozens of different organizations: It's still in process (months later), or there is no record of it, or the rebate "application" was denied, or it must have been lost in the mail.
		Most rebates are handled by rebate processing organizations on behalf of manufacturers and retailers, and some theorize that these organizations are given incentives by clients to deny or not fulfill as many rebates as possible.

	The great rebate scam. By Carol Vinzant
		Rebates are surging not because of manufacturers but because of retailers.
		When you see that a store is offering you a rebate, remember that back at HQ some executive is betting against you, rooting for you to slip up, calculating the odds that you will lose the receipt, go on vacation, write in a wrong number.
		One small rebate company ran a program for stores that required the consumer to send in forms by registered mail every six months for three years, an exercise they call a "memory test." After complaints, they now only demand a form at the beginning and end of three years.

		On March 8, 2005, the Fair Trade Commission of Japan (“JFTC”) challenged certain rebate and marketing programs of Intel Corp.’s Japanese subsidiary, Intel K.K., and recommended in a proposed order that Intel eliminate certain exclusivity conditions imposed on five Japanese PC manufacturers receiving price rebates and advertising subsidies for purchases of Intel’s microprocessors.
