Rebates operate in the interest of manufacturers and vendors. They aren't made with the best interest of the customer in mind. They do provide a somewhat misleading impression that the item costs less than the ticket price (if the rebate is properly expedited and processed). The fact that they're not sent in and sometimes are lost in the shuffle benefits the sellers.
I neither like them nor appreciate the way they are designed and executed.
Why should I? I'm just the consumer.
