As always for all rebates, ensure you have copies and ensure you filed based on directions provided. I normally don’t have a problem with 4myrebate.com, but it just this time, it just annoyed me and I’m not sure if they’re going to look into my email complain send to them just now.

What happened was, a rebate for MSI code MSI-12228 for a MSI video card $30, offer starts 1/17 to 1/24 year 2013. I mailed the invoice upc bar code and electronic tracking on 1/21 and they received it on 1/28, and today is 1/30 they sent me an email saying mine request for rebate was declined because below reason. They are fraudulent, how can it be outside time limit? Big scammer 4myrebate.com

MSI 4myrebate.com is a fraud declined my rebate request wrongly and will not respond to my phone call or email totally ignored my request
