rebate & gift cardsn (freebie lures)

When Iplaced an order w/Amerimark catalog the order takers try to sign you up for programs, offering gift cards and coupons sfor gas, all you have to do is try the program for 30 days for a small amount of free, cancel if not satisfied or you cannot use. Receive free gas or .... In my case I cancelled and that wasn't the problem - Ii was not charged again.But twice I got sucked into the offer of free gs and store of my choice coupons as I sm really peniless, and in need of so many things.  Now they don't tell you that you have to cll and request the FORM to REQUEST the coupon.  Then two months later when it comes they aren't clear about what subscription # andn proof of purchase w/exact amount paid since it is a form letter and since it's been two months and you already cancelled (even though you were told you still were entitle to the rebate/gift cert. because it was a gift for TRYING the product andn all the diffent centers are not linked, subbed out as is usual nowadays nobody has any info on you. Well I called Amerimark customer service and they will send my receipt which I will mail and they will probably deny because if I can remember the day as was talked into signing up, I was calling about an exchange or backorder so the dates won't jive.  Well it will take days to get the receipt from Amerimark (I hope only  ddays) nbut the real kicker is the Value Plus program says allow 80-10 weeks. as if three people were sitting at desks handdling all these requests manually for he entire country. Nothing should take two or more months now-a-days. Nothing. If I ever hear from them again It nwill probablly be a rejection, and I will probably (they count on) not remember who they are. oh, but I will.  If I dont get my rebate/cert. you'll hear from me again, in two-three months. Has anyone ever collected on these offers? Let me know.
