Probably 6 years ago, I spend over $1600.00 on a new Compaq Computer and a 17 inch ViewSonic monitor, well the monitor had a $100.00 rebate. I completed all of the paper work, but made a mistake taking the paper work to work, in order to make a copy of all the paperwork! I then forgot that I had intentionally left that little bar code thing that I had cut out of the box,at home, and went ahead and mailed the original bill of sale and the rebate paper work, without the bar code. Well, I never heard from ViewSonic, and finally a few months down the road, I ran across that little bar code that I had cut out of the box, but figuring, that this rebate was for $100.00 and not for say $10.00 or $15.00, I figured any honest company would make an effort to get a hold of me, and inform me that they needed the bar code piece, but ViewSonic just kept the $100.00 or maybe an employee pocketed the money. I know I goofed, but you would think that a big honest company would not want this type of bad publicity?
ViewSonic in turn did lose out on some business, mine and some of my close friends and relatives! I just recently bought myself a new 22 inch Gateway monitor!
