I didn’t get my Sprint rebate or my Acronis rebate both offered off Dells website.  The total worth for both offers - $170.00.  I was wondering if anybody else was denied and if so why?  Sprint denied me numerous times even though I sent in the paper work provided for the Sprint rebate along with the packing slip and receipt for the computer which clearly said EV-DO Revisoin A mobile broadband card.  Every time they denied me.  Sprint is saying it was a “Promotional scheme” and to contact Dell.  As for Acronis – I purchased that software off the Dell website saying there was a $20 mail in rebate.  When the box came there was no paperwork regarding the rebate so I called Dell.  They looked it up and saw the rebate – the customer care representative then said I would receive info regarding the rebate via email in 7 to 10 days.  I received nothing.  I called back and the customer care rep looked on the website and said there was no rebate… Dell must have taken it down.  He then said I was a liar.  Not real happy about that…  I have emailed Dell numerous times regarding the trouble and I never get any reply back.  Has anybody else had this happen?  I paid $2000. For a new XPS 1530 in February and then I turned around in March and bought an Inspiron1525 for $1200 from Best Buy (the warranties made the prices higher.)   I am very disappointed in how Dell has handled these rebates.  You would think after the amount of money I have spent they would at least talk to me… 

I am going to contact the Better Business Bureau.  As a consumer who shops online I rely on what I am told on the website – that determines what, where and sometimes when I buy – if the information i.e, rebate offered on the website is a lie than the company whose website it is should get in trouble.
