LG Rebate/Advertising Checking

LG Rebate/Advertising Checking Bureau False statement of rebate not received... Memphis, Tennessee

26th of Dec, 2010 by User739088

I mailed in a rebate claim form on or about 12/1 for a $30.00 rebate on an LG HBM-900 bluetooth headset which I purchased from Newegg.com on 11/20/2010.
It is now 12/27. I just logged ontotheirwebsite to check my rebate status and saw that they have no record of ever receiving my rebate application.

The rebate form says it takes 60 days to pay out the rebate (which is the longest time I've ever heard of to pay a rebate) but it should show that the forms have been received by now after almost a month.

I have not received the mailing as returned from the post office. I have sent in many dozens of rebate forms and have never messed one up. I have scans of everything I sent in. The form (the most complicated and confusing rebate form I've ever encountered) was filled in exactly as instructed.

The confusing form can be viewed here:

BTW, the product (a bluetooth headset)is horrible. So, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. So much for LG. I was going to buy one of their flat panel TVs but they just pushed me towards Panasonic after this.

Next step, wait for the 60 days for the rebate to (probably not) show up.

After that, start a dispute through Visa against NewEgg who did nothing wrong which is too bad and will be a huge PITA....

I had the same experience.I bought a HBM-900 Bluetooth Headset from Newegg.com online on Nov.26,
2010. I sent a filled rebate form together with the receipt and the UPC code
cut from the box for the headset on Dec. 2, 2010. I have not received the
rebate check even till this April day. I sent an email to the them and they guided me to call a phone number and they checked and no information about my rebate was found in the system. This rebate is a joke. I never missed one rebate in the past. This is the first one.
