As others, I tried Cyberrebates with a test order before I went for the whole tamale.

On March 2nd, I made a $55 purchase. My rebate check was finally mailed on June 23rd. That was quite a while, but I did receive it, so I went for it, purchasing a variety of Christmas presents.

On June 29th I ordered $885 worth of gifts. They arrived shortly, but the rebate checks weren't mailed until November 27th, and received several days later. That was the good news.

Re: their prices, they're inflated, and still inflating. One of the items I ordered was a wooden dinosar puzzle that is about 3' high and 4' long, from BC Bones. I found it on the net for $49. Cyberrebates' price was $89.99 (but it was going to end up free). Just checked their current price, still with a 100% rebate, and it is now listed at $186.99!!

My concern is that they've been living on the float, but it wasn't working, so they had to increase the float dramatically. I've decided that I don't want to take the risk again. If they fold, you can't contest the credit card charges, since they've (probably) shipped you the merchandise. What you're out is the (grossly inflated) 100% rebate.

I hope that others will continue to post their experiences here, and good luck to all.
