Ace Hardware rebate scam

Ace Hardware Corporation 2200 Kensington Ct. Oak Brook, IL 60523 On

Friday, July 29 2007 i purchased a Weber grill from Ace Hardware. There was

a $20.00 mail in rebate which i sent in with the receipt and upc code. The

rebate was the main reason i bought this particular item. Today i received a

reply stating that that the rebate was invalid because the receipt didn't

have the correct date. It was purchased on the first day of their sale. I'm

sure of the date i purchased the grill so the date is correct plus the sale

price was on the receipt. The receipt's ink was a little dim so they was

probably too lazy to even look for the date on it. They know i can't

resubmit my receipt because i sent the only one i received at the time of

purchase in with the rebate. This all seems like a scam to me since they

know 99% of the time no one is going to go out and scan a copy of the

receipt for their records before they send it in for the rebate. The main

reason i filed this complaint is to get it on record how Ace Hardware

treated this now ex customer. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Tim
