UK rebate status (again)

Hate to bang-on about this again, but is there anyone still waiting for their rebate ?

I submitted my coupon within 2 weeks of it being announced in April, and nothing back...

I have spoken to Mac about this and they have had lots of people asking the same question. Last I heard (last week), was they hadn't recieved any of my paperwork, even though I had sent it twice. One within one week of the rebate news and one last month. You can't even get to send it recorded as its a P.O. box number! No one will take responsibility so it seems.

I got my rebate, and have already spent it, be warned, they say the goods must be equal of exceed the rebate price BEFORE VAT is added, I had a lot of trouble over that, they deducted £128 from my bank account then took 3 working days to refund it. I ended up paying £30 odd for the VAT on my rebate purchases 😟

Arrived home today and there it was in my inbox.

The rebate is (I was pleasently surprised to see) for £130 before VAT. So it's effectively £153 off the price. That does mean that your basket needs to be £153 or more, instead of £130 but I think that's worth it.

Closing this out soon. After patience expired i called the hotline, after going around the world in call centres i ended-up with a very helpful Irish Salesman. He directly contacted the company handling the rebate (outsourced !) and assured me i would get notification in the next two weeks with my coupon.

So if you ain't got it, give them a call on the std UK 0800 number and persevere. For £100+ its worth the 19 minutes on the phone.
