Rebates rebates rebates! An interesting discussion in the dpreview Open Talk forum

Mentioned in this discussion is an AOL Finance story on rebates

From my personal experience, the best rebate systems right now are online submission of rebates using data from the cash register receipt. My award goes to Staples and Rite Aid for their online rebate systems. I wish the other retailers and manufacturers followed suit. (Please note not everything sold there can be submitted online, check each rebate form before buying and submitting).
