Amongst other things, this Black Friday I bought an EVGA nVidia GeForce 6200 256MB.
I bought of because it was free after rebate, and because the card I really wanted, and ordered (GeForce 8800GT 512MB) was out temporarily out of stock, and will ship to me next month.
It was one of those items that you don't really want or need, but you get because it's free. Unlike some of the idiots out there who do that and then forget about the rebate, I'm on top of things when it comes to those scams. i photocopy everything, and never get screwed. imagine my surprise when I started filling out my rebates today.
Check the rebate form to see if you can find the errors.


First, the obvious one, the address they tell you to send the rebate to.... The zip code is clearly not even the right length!. I googled the correct zip code, and it's supposed to be 88554.
Secondly, The rebate lists the card as having 128MB of RAM, yet even in the model number listed on the same form shows 256 (The box shows 256 also, and counting the RAM chips on the actual graphics card concludes that it has 2048 Megabits, or 256 MegaBytes)

I'm sure EVGA would claim some freak accidental typo, but this is absolutely unacceptable. This cannot happen, as I'm sure a large chunk of the buyers (who, lets face it, ONLY bought the card because it was free after rebate) will send the letter to an invalid zip code, and only realise after the rebate period has passed.
