I am also looking for the $200 rebate form. I purchased on Sept 2. No reply from customer support from my email about this rebate.

I see this stuff all the time, makes me mad. I think the purpose is to make it look like you are getting a huge discount and a really great deal by showing the suggested retail price, which no one ever really pays in real life, against the selling price. It's a gimmick I am sure. Be smart people, when you see stuff like that, it may not always be as big a bargin as it appears to be. Having said that, I did purchase one for a gift so we shall see if it is even worth the $24.99.

Plus there only $87.99 on Amazon.com! Don't know where you are getting $200 from.

IMHO, given the lower pricing earlier, and the current $200 rebate in football stuff (which must cost Samsung $100-$150 each), I'm betting that after the rebate ends (Jan 31, just days before the superbowl), the pricing will soften. This is just a hunch, but someone has to pay for that rebate. As for me I'm going to wait to see, I won't get $200 in value from that rebate. Alternatively, there may be a more interesting rebate, perhaps cash, or a credit on a home theater sound system?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, when I saw the rebate had gone I took them out of my cart and re-added them to try to get it back, but it didn't work. Is there any way to get it back?

were you able to get the price break using the rebate form? Did amazon discount the price if the rebate was not honored by Mackie?

Yes, I tried several times to download the rebate...I entered all the detail requested. I am still unable to download the rebate for the 150 dollars. How long did it take before you received your rebate?

I printed the invoice from amazon website, and circled the price like they asked.Just today I received my rebate. I sent rebate form about 3 weeks ago. It comes in a prepaid Visa from Citi and says P&G; Rewards Cards.

Amazon may not be participating in the rebate, but their current price reflects a savings of almost $50 vs. what you would pay at a Nespresso retailer or on nespresso.com. That, coupled with the fast, free shipping and confidence I have in amazon, makes the rebate immaterial to me. Plus, who likes waiting for a stupid rebate check?

No, I was under the same impression. Its a rip off. All I got was the $15 activation kit. No time card.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

The only rebate that I saw for a rebate of $20 was one that had to be purchased from a veterinarian's office. My vet's office price was $30 more than the Amazon price.

I admittedly came very close to pulling the trigger on this TV this past weekend. However, another $200 off an already competitive price seemed too good to be true. So I read the fine print on this supposed "rebate". I also visited some other retailers' websites, including Samsung's. Everyone else is promoting it as a "reward certificate" for Mounted Memories products only. It is NOT being advertised as a cash rebate at all. For Amazon to advertise $200 cash off the sale price is very misleading. They need to correct this immediately. I look forward to hearing Amazon's response to this.UPDATE: Looks like the "rebate" was taken down within the last hour. I hope Amazon took care of you guys.

This has been a very helpful discussion. Thanks. So far Amazon has not mentioned a rebate -- so I will wait and see.

Once i descibed the classic bait and switch situation of advertising and not delivering the correct product with Amazon being the seller and posting the rebate on the items page i was given a $25 promotion credit. That helps but still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I had the same results when I sent them email; that's why I decided to call them. As far as lying, if I don't get my order in another week, I'll know who did the lying/misinforming. Amazon should realize they have alot of competition and I'm willing to pay a couple extra dollars for better service than this. I'm supposed to get my order by the 17th. I'll drop a line here to let you know what happen, if you like.

I contacted them aswell and they told me they would Contact me within 48 hours and they didn't. At first they told me to try the rebate then they told me not to and to wait. I don't like having $150 in limbo. Also now they changed the rebate information on the link page for the rebate to say July 3, 2006 even though the rebate expires June 3, 2006.
