Did you get your $100 rebate from Sprint?

I bought my phone end of June and sent in the rebate the same day.. guess I have a ways to wait.

"Your rebate submission has been received and is proceeding through the validation process according to the promotional terms and conditions. Please check back in 1-2 weeks for updates to your request."

Its been on this part for almost 30 days now. :(

Since youre phone is subsidized they cannot mail the check any earlier than 30 days. otherwise people would buy phones get the rebate and return within the 30day limit. makes a lot of sence if you think about it. Sprint seems to be on par with rebates across most industires... 8-12 weeks.

I received a postcard from Sprint stating that my rebate cannot be processed because my address was not recognized by the US Postal Service.....

I called in to verify my address and they told me I will be receiving my check within 2 weeks. I Purchased my Evo on release date, and also sent in my rebate request on the same day.

I did not receive a post card but I went online to check the status and it reads rebate cannot be processed because my address was not recognized by the US Postal Service..... guess I will call today. :mad:

I can't find the link to the website to check on the status. I checked several weeks ago and it said something like "received and processing". No check yet.

Anyone have that link?

Thanks!

I just type sprintrebate into the address window of Firefox and it takes me there.

And yes, I got mine last week. Got my phone on launch day but procrastinated for about 2 weeks before I sent the rebate in.

I've been with Sprint for over 10 years, upgraded the family to EVO's and received postcards stating my three rebates were denied because my contract period did not qualify for the rebate. I called their customer disservice number and was told ALL REBATES are automatically declined but are reinstated post 30 days (reason given as above). Why don't Sprint just serve notice that rebates are pending a 30 day verification period instead of issuing summary denials of all rebates.

I wonder how many of Sprint's automatic rebate denials went uncontested and unpaid. Way to go Sprint.
