 [----------^^^^ you said the above ^^^^-----------]
I don't get into rebates in that I'm going for every nickel and dime but 
rather if I go through the trouble, I try to get it right at least from my 
end. Here's what I do....
my form...1) my return address
          2) fill-in required form; rebate or otherwise
          3) sales slip
          4) UPC codes or offical proof of purchase
Make a dated copy for my records, mail and then await rebate.
These are all attach to the form under the above headings and then return.
Since this is a computer printed form and the spelling is correct and 
ledgable, then hopefully I'll get my rebate. FYI - The only time I ever had a 
problem was when I didn't do the above and after writing an enquiry and 
months later did I get my rebate. That's why I do the above from now on. 
Adios -_-_-Bill
