‘Tis the season to cash in those rebates

‘Tis the season to cash in those rebates 12/27/2004 03:21 PM
As the dust begins to settle on all the shiny new gadgets purchased this holiday season, the time has come to dig out the paperwork and apply for one of the many rebates being offered by more and more companies to lure customers to their products. The use of rebates is at an all-time high, especially when it comes to computer and consumer electronics purchases, finds The NPD Group's recent report, Rebates: A Consumer Perspective. Almost a third of consumers surveyed (32 percent) purchased a technology product that offered a rebate during the past six months. A closer look at those consumers' responses shows more than 25 percent of computer hardware product purchases included a rebate and 8.5 percent of respondents used a rebate to buy a consumer electronics product. The clear benefit of rebates in consumers' minds is the price reduction offered. More than half of those surveyed said rebates "made the product more affordable than expected." Rebates also spurred consumers to buy products sooner than they expected (21 percent), to buy more expensive products than they would have without a rebate offer (17 percent) and to purchase brands they would not have without a rebate offer (9 percent). While rebates are very popular, the NPD study indicates the redemption process is still a source of frustration for many consumers. The most common reason for dissatisfaction was "prefer instant cash" (35 percent). Another 25 percent said rebates are "too much work for the money" and 17 percent said they forgot to mail in or go online to redeem their rebates before the expiration deadlines. Additionally, 15 percent said it was difficult to know what to do to redeem rebates and 13 percent said they didn't have enough time to complete and submit the forms necessary to redeem their rebates.

Retailers' love affair with mail-in rebates may be coming to an end. In response to customer complaints, Best Buy Co. Inc., the world's largest electronics retailer, promised Friday to eliminate mail-in rebates within two years. Best Buy's rivals, including Circuit City Stores and CompUSA, are expected to follow suit.

"Our customers are telling us they just hate the process," said Ron Boire, executive vice president and general merchandise manager at Best Buy. But it wasn't immediately clear Friday whether Best Buy would pass on the eliminated rebates in the form of lower prices, though several industry watchers said they expect the company to do so.
