My T-Mobile rebate that I purchased through T-Mobile website in mid July was denied. The reason is: invalid channel of purchase for offer. I checked the rebate form again and it has:
(1) .... from T-Mobile Authorized Retail Partners.

So buying from their web site does not qualify as their "authorized retail partners"? Well, I guess no.

I seem to remember many people jumped on this deal and I am wondering how many people got their rebate.

got same thing. wife called them and they claimed would correct. we'll see.

have you tried reading the whole threads about this?

Are you talking about the T-Mobile To Go Nokia 6030? I got a letter and called the rebate department. They told me "the rebate offer may not be combined or used with any other free, rebate or other promotional offers." They said that since I had got a discount when I purchased online, the rebate is invalid in my case.

Received same "un-qualified selling point" denial from rebate center. Filled complaint with BB, then T-Mobile claimed I'd received "Instant Discount" and still won't pay rebate. This deal was listed in many internet sites. Wonder if T-Mobile paid to have this deal listed.

use this like for making complain about the rebate offer.

This happened before with the Nokia 6030s that were FAR. Use the BBB link.

I filed a chargeback (unsuccessful) but still received notice that they were sending the check. Guess they knew I'd be trying other things (?) or just everyone else complaining got them to take care of it.

Same boat with an online purchase. The problem is that the form one can fill out online at tmobilerebates.com provides:
"SUCH PURCHASE MUST BE, FROM AN AUTHORIZED T-Mobile RETAIL STORE OR DEALER."
whereas the PDF provides "Offer valid only for the purchase of a T-Mobile To Go Nokia 6030 kit and the T-Mobile To Go service plan from T-Mobile Authorized
Retail Partners."

T-Mobile refuses to acknowledge that the first form, which exists on their website, exists at all and I spent the better part of an hour being told that they believe me but that there is absolutely nothing that they can do. One person offered that the price I paid was already discounted while another points to new verbiage on the website that shows no rebates are valid with this phone (which verbiage surely wasn't there at the time I placed the order).

They also say, which I don't believe to be the case, that since June there was a link on the order page for the 6030 indicating that there was no rebate available with the purchase.
