Rob's Deals Hints for Submitting Rebates:
Keep a copy of receipts, UPC codes and rebate forms.
Record the date you sent out the rebate form, and, if applicable, write down the serial number of the product.
Usually you should receive your rebate check in 10 weeks. If not, call the rebate center. Usually the number is available on the rebate form.
You may find a fax machine very useful.
Good luck getting your rebates.
