Ace Hardware rebate scam
Complaint

Country: United States
Ace Hardware Corporation at 2200 Kensington Ct. Oak Brook, IL 60523.
On Friday, July 29 2007 i purchased a Weber grill from Ace Hardware. There was a $20.00 mail in rebate which i sent in with the receipt and upc code. The rebate was the main reason i bought this particular item.
Today i received a reply stating that that the rebate was invalid because the receipt didn't have the correct date. It was purchased on the first day of their sale. I'm sure of the date i purchased the grill so the date is correct plus the sale price was on the receipt. The receipt's ink was a little dim so they was probably too lazy to even look for the date on it. They know i can't resubmit my receipt because i sent the only one i received at the time of purchase in with the rebate.
This all seems like a scam to me since they know 99% of the time no one is going to go out and scan a copy of the receipt for their records before they send it in for the rebate. The main reason i filed this complaint is to get it on record how Ace Hardware treated this now ex customer. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
