that's 3-6 weeks.... not 6-18

I once had a rebate take 6 months - 26 weeks.
I almost forgot about it only to have the check come in and I have to 
look up what it was for.

I guess a lot of rebate houses make their money on pure interest.

Sure a lousy $10 doesn't make too much, but if you get 1000 rebates and 
hold the cash for each one for 3 months you can garner a bit of interest 
off of it.
