Rebates....Now you see them, now you don't

until today.
I wanted to add additional memory to a Dell Laptop and I went on the
Dell website to check out via Service Tag what I needed. I did not
intend to buy from the site since I thought I could do better
elsewhere. I visited the support site for the laptop and was suprised
to see the 2 GB Corsair memory at $75.00 each, BUT with a $30.00
rebate per. Thinking I couldn't do much better than this, I ordered
two of these modules.
I did see a reference to the $30.00 rebate again during checkout as it
explained that it was a mail-in, but I didn't see anything about how
or when to apply during the rest of the checkout and I became
suspicious. I tried to look up the rebate on the Dell site and I did
not find any Corsair $30.00 rebates in effect. There had been one that
expired 2/28/2010, but nothing current. I went back to the original
Dell site and low and behold, the 2 GB Corsair modules were gone! They
weren't even listed without rebate, simply vanished. I had (have) the
order acknowledgement of them so I have proff they were there when I
ordered.
I called Dell Customer Care and they confirmed no rebate. I cancelled
and that's it. I am just wondering if anyone else ever had similar and
whether its conspiracy or error? It seemed rather strange.

| I had something almost similar with Amazon when I purchased my Dragon NaturallySpeaking. However, I immediately called and they notified me that they had just withdrawn it at the same time I was trying to capture it. However, Amazon made good on it. Good company. |

the site until the very time you were ordering.
Often you can go to the manufacturer site to look for rebates too.
Here's a link to Corsair's when bought thru Dell:

A stab in the dark, but could the next-to-last on the list be a $30
March rebate for the memory you wanted? CGM2X2GS800 G

that is well settled law.
