Why not just buy from another manufacturer, and instead of sending in all those time consuming coupons, frame a couple more pics for many more dollars than those rebates you may or may not get.
If it has rebate on it, my view is always the same, not a good deal. Rarely do you get all your money, and the time involved, not to mention the aggrevation, and it's friend frustration, just add to the cost.
Please, you got a deal on glass, then just give me the price, right now, minus the rebate, I'll give you a good order, and then let me get back to work, instead of filling out those ---- forms.
Rebates are not good for the consumer, they always are working against you in that the company is counting on a large number of customers who either forget, or fill out the form wrong, and you guessed it, you're screwed again. You end up paying regular price, but wait, what about all the time and effort you put into sending, and keeping up with 'em. The phone calls, the letters, cost is going up, not down, please just give me the good price now.
I quite doing business with anyone who does rebates many years ago, they are basically dishonest in my way of thinking, and run the cost of purchasing up, not down, but that's just my opinion.
If they want to increase sales, get new folks to try it, then mark it down like we do, give us a good price, and don't make us work for the discount. Finally, I just don't have the time to fill out, and keep up with all those forms.
Its too much to ask from a supplier, and they should be trying to make life simpler, not more complicated for us........but to each his own..
Gotta frame, break is over....
