+1 to everything said here. Rebates are for suckers. If they can't give you the cash off right then and there, I plan on never having it. When you look at a lot of stuff that way, the products the rebates are being offered on really don't represent the best deals all that often. In other words, completely disregard that the rebate even exists. Based on this, I think the last time I found a situation where the best deal overall WAS the one that just happened to have a rebate associated with it was about six years ago.

Don't bother with 'em. They're for desperate penny-pinching housewives with an eighth-grade education. I can't believe people still fall for them.
