from yahoo: Message 676 of 676 Reply Rebate Programs hanner2000 Aug 17 1998 5:36PM EDT The rebate programs that Cendant and TLC have been running are coming back at them. Received notice today from the firm that conducts rebate programs for both companies. Effective immediately, all manufacturers will be required to pay rebate invoice in 15 days. Consumers are screaming loud and clear regarding these rebate offers from TLC,Cendant and others. Pay them quickly or face consequences. Several software companies (not TLC or Cendant) are facing suits for misrepresentation on rebate offers. Many retailers are concerned because the consumer comes back to the retailer for resolution when manufacturer fails to pay in a timely manner. Some retailers have turned down promotions for this reason. Net result, future rebates will have to paid in a timely manner and rebates are coming under higher scrutiny. <<< so much for TLC which has based it's revenue growth on rebates... what's the next shoe to drop???
