Did I say this person committed some sort of crime? Bad job at trying to put words in my mouth.
My first impression that there was a double dip was based upon the response he got from bigcrumbs saying that the merchant had credited the referral to another cash back site. If bigcrumbs or giftcards.com does not respond then the OP is just SOL. I have no idea what type of consumer rights one would have when purchasing through a rebate portal, you really aren't purchasing any product or service from them and they have a pretty detailed TOS to make sure they've covered all their bases.
Like most people have said contact the merchant via email or call and ask for a supervisor. Beyond that you will have to ask yourself if the time spent trying to track down and get the rebate is worth the money. If you see it happen a second time I would use another rebate portal.
