mail in rebate

what exactly is the deal with mail in rebates?  i mean, why can’t you just give me my rebate right now? 

my phone is about to completely crap out on me.  i can only recieve and make calls every other day.  i can text all the time which is fine.  i’d just as well do that than talk to you probably anyway, but still.  sometimes you need the phone to work, right?

so i go into the local at and t store to purchase a new phone.  i think i’m gonna get the blackjack ii this time around.  my blackberry has been pretty good to me, but i just don’t need it.  the blackjack does everything i want it to do and it’s fifty bucks cheaper.  it’s still a hunny, but i figure that’s not really that bad.

only thing is those jerks want me to pay two hunny, then they say they’ll send me my other hunny back in the mail. 

so i said hey guys, i’ll save you the postage and the work to get it all in the mail.  just let me give you a hunny right now and we’ll call it even.

yeah, they didn’t go for it.  but man, i really don’t got two hunny to drop on a phone.  i really don’t have one hunny, but one is tolerable.  two just isn’t right now.  besides, my brother mike still hasn’t gotten his fifty dollar mail in rebate from when he bought his phone.  he did get a letter explaining why he didn’t get it though.

that crap should be illegal. 

so screw you at and t.  i’ll just buy a refurbished one online.  take that you jerks.
