Sears. I bought my mother a lawnmower 3-4 years ago. They up-sold me to this particular model because there was a $50 rebate. He sold it on the premise that once I got the rebate the better mower would only cost $29 more than the inferior one. I didn't look at the fine print. When I got my "rebate" in the mail it turned out to be $50 off on a contract with some lawn chemical company. I would only save the money if I spent a few hundred more on a service I didn't want.
I contacted the Ohio AG who said the definition of "rebate" is anything the merchant wants it to be. She told me to start reading the fine print.
