Corsair offers “rebates” which their customers absolutely despise. First of all, they make you bend over backward to try to fulfill all their weird requirements, and if you make even the tiniest of mistakes on any of their forms, your rebate will be rejected. If you misspell, abbreviate, or leave off a single word on the envelope you send your forms in, REJECTED! If the post office smears the postmark on your envelope, REJECTED! If the envelope gets “lost” or delayed in the mail, REJECTED!

But suppose you do manage to make it through their labyrinth of bizarre rebate requirements and finally get your money after waiting month after month after month, then what? SURPRISE! You don’t get a check at all–NOPE! Instead, you get what they call a “rebate card” which you cannot deposit or cash anywhere! But you’d better do something with it quick, because the fees begin to accrue immediately, and Citibank will be only too happy to deduct those fees from your card as fast as they legally can. (So be sure to read all the fine print on that lengthy document which accompanies your “rebate” card.)

So buy Corsair’s products because of their good reviews, but you should totally ignore their sleazy rebate b.s.

I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather spend my money buying from a reputable company which doesn’t try to cheat their customers like this. God only knows what trials and tribulations await should you need warranty work. Yea, good luck with that!!!
