One rebate was straight forward - UPC, rebate form, and receipt - 6-8 
week turn around.

The other one.... had the flaming ring.
Register online - all I's and T's must be crossed on the first try or 
rebate invalid.
Fill out form that asked what my great great great grandchild's name is 
going to be.
Provide email address (temporary email would be disqualified and 
invalidate rebate)
Write online info on back of envelope.
Get your rebate in 16 weeks.

In some ways not too bad, but a lot of little things to make sure is right.



I really love the ones that send you a check that must be cashed in 30 
days - but you get it only 5 days before the 30 days are up.
