Been a while since I've been doing rebates. Is there a list of companies to avoid or are known for slow/no processing of rebates?

Thanks, but that thread really does not address my question. It's more of a splatter of everything Newegg, with a little crazy mixed in.

For the record, Nova/Avanquest is bad. They take forever to pay and you often have to contact them. If you have not done rebates recently, the rest of the discussion does not apply to you and you do not need to be concerned. It's only an issue for big rebaters and the question of whether the companies are starting to restrict multiple different rebate submissions. Panda also takes a long time to pay. And watch out for Total Defense, which requires you to activate the product before submitting the rebate.

Right, the Newegg FAR thread simply needs to be updated. Would you like to volunteer to do it?
