I send in EVERY rebate that comes with stuff I buy. I do it because most times I wouldn't have bought the item at the 'full' price. I also hate the theory behind them, where the company figures it will make money due to people not sending them in, or fouling up the sometimes complex requirements.
Here in N.Y. we have a 5 cent deposit on all soda/beer cans, plastic containers and glass. I return EVERY bottle because I know that the big companies keep whatever deposit money they don't return. I just read an article saying that the bottlers are lobbying the N.Y. state legislature to keep them from changing the law and re-directing the unclaimed deposits
