Rebate Woes!

May 4th, 2008 at 09:31 pm

I got a $100 rebate in the form a pre-loaded VISA card from A T and T. I set it up as the form letter told me too. I have tried to use it twice and both times I was rejected.....I am starting to get very very angry over this. What is the deal???? Any insight would be helpful. I feel like I got ripped off. It is botheriong me over and over and I cna not stop thinking about it. What am I doing wrong?????? I tired it at WAL MART and at the local grocery store to no avail.

    It might be the way they are tendering it. They are prolly trying to use it as a Gift Card, and not as a Visa. I would try it again, with instructions - and if it still doesn't work - call the number on the back of the card. GL! Big Grin

    I think it has to be processed as a credit card, the form letter should tell you. I have gotten one before from AT &T and was not able to use it at Walmart either. If you have problems I would call customer service. Those cards are a real pain!

    Well I read the letter again and then called the 800 number. I guess you have to pay the amount it will not cover first then swipe it as a CC to pay the rest????? In other words...I spend $150.00 at WALMART. I use my regular visa for $50 then swipe the rebate CC for the balance of $100 which is what the card is worth. I really hate these pre-loaded cards for rebates. When they told me it would be a pre-loaded VISA when I bought the cell phone I really hesitated......my gut does know a thing a two. Next time forget it.....I WANT CASH OR NO DEAL.
    To buy gas on it is pretty out of the question too----very VERY COMPLICATED TO DO SO! Oh well...live and learn.
