What’s great about online rebates, shopping through a rewards program or rebate portal, as they’re sometimes called, is that you don’t have to mutilate the box the item came in to cut off the UPC code to send in for a rebate. No filling out forms, no wondering whether the forms were received… you just shop through a rebate site and wait the required period, then you get your cash back. Simple!
