I have some Kaspersky that have taken more than 3 months. However Kaspersky always does pay eventually and they sometimes pay quickly. Also, they always pay by check.

The only time Kaspersky rebates aren't 3-4 months are the ones processed by Parago for Staples purchases.

Actually it mentions it, in Step1-Activate, Step 2-Register

Please let me know if there's a few from another thread or two that I can't seem to find right now if there are any that need to be added to QS ASAP. Thanks for your patience in reading this post

The $20 bonus rebate is available for printout?I don't know as I did not open the box. You're the one who posted about the extra $20 rebate, you must have it as well.

The $35 rebate doesn't require registering/activating, however the $20 bonus one does.

It's pretty obvious that you need to register to get the $20 rebate.

I guess you misunderstood, I was saying there's an additional $20 to be made if your willing to activate and register the product through automatic renewal.
Sorry I haven't been posting updates here - I have boycotted Newegg as they have pulled my affiliate agreement from the freebie site I was running, and stole more than $50 in commission it had earned. It doesn't take much to ruin a sterling reputation (see: Parago), but Newegg has managed to do it over the past few months of standing behind fraudulent rebates and stealing from advertisers.
When a company is prepared to steal from their advertisers and customers, you can bet that they'll start reneging on their rebate terms, too. Just a word of caution - Newegg may no longer be the customer support juggernaut they once were... proceed at your own risk!
EDIT: I sent them a polite request asking why my affiliate agreement was cancelled and the commission was reversed. This was the puzzling response I received a couple days ago (mostly proof for anyone concerned that they're ignoring my requests and closing the support requests whenever I try to contact them):I apologize for any inconvenience. However, please note that the Preferred Account is issued by CIT bank rather than Newegg. Unfortunately, for your privacy, I don't have access to any information on the credit decision. Additionally, it is illegal to discuss such issue via telephone or email. You will receive a physical mail from CIT bank with the reason in 7 days.Really, Newegg? You take my money and think I'm trying to sign up for your credit card? It's frustrating trying to deal with these guys on the business side! I'm starting to feel sorry for whatever companies are having their inventory liquidated by Newegg in these free-after-rebate deals; were they victims of shenanigans, too?
