A little tip for sending in rebates.  If you cannot trace your sent mail the 
company can say they never received it and you're screwed.  For $2.75 you can 
send it via certified mail, no receipt requested which adds another 1.75 or 
so.  You can then verify delivery via USPS website.

So far I havent lost a single rebate submitted that way.  

For a 10 buck rebate it drops the value of the rebate but for a 20 or more 
rebate it's cheap insurance.

The stores really dont care and are not responsible for you getting your 
rebate, that's why they do it.
