This could be a big concern if rebatestatus won't be able to pay out their rebates. In a discussion here, someone also noticed that Pricegrabber $5 bonus rebates have disappeared from the Pricegrabber site since yesterday. Pricegrabber rebates are also handled by CPG/rebatestatus. Maybe it's just a coincidence, or maybe not.

Blahhhhh, this means that this Black Friday if anyone is intent on getting Free or FAR stuff or any Rebate related items they'd have to do their research and make sure what the status of RebateStatus is prior to buy or risk not getting paid on their rebate.
OP should change the title of this thread to "Rebatestatus" instead of "Trendnet", since this problem is apparently not confined to just Trendnet rebates.
This thread needs to be a STICKY at the top of the HOT DEALS forum. This impacts a LOT of people, and potentially many deals currently posted and upcoming.

RELAX. The mods were correct to move this out of the Hot Deals forum. The entity offering the rebate promotion (manufacturer, distributor or retailer) is responsible for fulfillment. Other than bank fees due to bounced checks, you should still get your rebate check - eventually. Worst case, you will have to go back to the entity advertising the promotion, and/or file a claim with your credit card company.
This is not the first or last time a rebate fulfillment house has run in to difficulties - just be patient, persistent, respectful - and keep good records.
Fortunately, all of my outstanding rebates are fulfilled by other entities.

It is interesting that you want you thread to stay in Hot Deal Forum but yor wrote "This is not a hot deal..." to start that thread.

Fortunately, all of my outstanding rebates are fulfilled by other entities. Great advice but don't rely on your CC for any help on rebate related issues. However major manufacturers and retailers will stand behind their offers. Very few here will have CPG rebate exposure. I have done 1154 rebates since 11/2005 and only 6 were fulfilled through CPG. CPG biggest client was CompUSA. When they went belly up it ws only a matter of time before CPG was in big trouble.
I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOW ABOUT THIS DEAL UNLESS I MONITORED OTHER SITES. I POSTED THE INFO HERE AND NOW THIS POST IS BURIED WHERE NOBODY CAN SEE IT. GOOD MOVE. AT 3000 + POSTS I AM FINISHED WASTING MY TIME AND ENERGY BY POSTING IN THIS RINKY DINK SITE.
MY ORIGINAL POST HAD 1178 VIEWS AND THIS POST HAD 303 VIEWS. TOTAL 1481 FOR THIS MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
SD HAS 42,633 VIEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOW FW, THINK REAL HARD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR MODEL HERE.
