Where have you been?? Tigerdirect has been known for not honoring rebates. Whether it is them or the company (Onrebate) that did their rebates for them because Tigerdirect licensed them to. If Asus did your rebate...well their you go. I know what you are meaning is. Your rebate was from third party manufacturer (Asus). Exactly why you did not run into any issue. Many people then turned to complain to Tigerdirect in response to Onrebate company, and Tigerdirect didn't resolve it. Read a bunch of those complaints. My father even tried to get a rebate through Tigerdirect or Tigerdirect's licensed rebate company (Onrebate). He was upset. This whole rebate thing was from 2004 - 2012. Some of this may sound confusing since I was researching it.
Some of these reviews were people fussing about Tigerdirect's customer service.
Link 1 is a website where many post complaints against Tigerdirect or the company (Onrebate.com) that did the rebates for them.

After all many reports of Onrebate scamming, The state of Florida sued Tigerdirect, Onrebate and parent corporation Systemax based in florida for their USA location, you will notice from some of the reviews above list the location "Miami, Florida". Listed below is a quote from one of the reviews.
Quote "Apparently this company was sued in 2009 by the state of Florida and a settlement was reached out of court. No details are available about the settlement, but I have to assume the thousands of people they ripped off and continue to rip off didn't get a dime of this settlement and it apparently has not changed their business practice. I am frustrated beyond belief and will not actively avoid this company and all of their subsidiaries and plan to tell everyone I know to do the same in every way I possibly can."
