Rebate

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.soyo (More info?)

I purchased a Sy-P4I865PE Plus v 1.0 mobo through Newgg at the end of August
and mailed the rebate documentation on Sept 7. I still don't appear in their
system.

I was wondering if anyone else taking advantage of the Newegg offer during
the time frame in question has heard anything from SOYOUSA.

I mailed mine on the 10th of September for a Soyo K7VME Barebones Kit. I
still can't get verification when I go to www.verifyrebate.com. One
thread in here indicates that a rebate application mailed in April or
May was finally processed in mid to late October. That seems to be a
little longer <g> than 8 weeks. There is a disclaimer/info block that
says the following ---

No record was found with the given information. Please make sure you
enter the correct information that was used on the rebate form. If you
registered your rebate online, please check your status with your last
name and reference number. If you mailed in your rebate form less than 8
weeks, please try again later. If you mailed in your rebate form more
than 10 weeks, please contact us at rebate@soyousa.com for further
assistance. Please allow 1-2 business to respond to your inquiry.

The bad English in the quote above is not due to my editing. I'm going
to e-mail them at rebate@soyousa.com. I'm still impressed with the
product. Seems they had so many rebates that they can't keep up.

Below is their reply to E-Mails after 21 weeks

We would like to apologize for the delay. Your rebate has not been
processed. Please keep checking www.verifyrebate.com to check on your
status. Thank you for your patience.

I received the same email on 9/16 and the check arrived 9/27. I
originally applied on 3/29.

I got my canned answer from SOYO a while ago. I miss read the fine print.
Rebates aren't due until 12-14 weeks after the postmark date of the program,
not from the date the paperwork is mailed. There were 2 rebates, one with a
date of Oct 1 and the other with a date of Oct 26. Going from this info, it
will be well into 2005, and may even approach the one year anniversary of
the purchase, before I see my rebates.

This is truly unacceptable; I have never had to wait like this for ANY
rebate. However, there isn't much to be done about this circumstance. I
happened to be looking for a P4 mobo and just stumbled on the Newegg deal
and I wasn't depending on the rebates It is highly unlikely that I will ever
buy, or recommend, any Soyo products in the future.

stanmc,

I haven't installed the board yet although I have everything I need except
the cpu to build a P4 system during the Winter. I haven't made up my mind
between a P4 Northwood, aP4 Prescott and a Celeron D, but if I wait much
longer I may not find a reasonably priced Northwood core cpu. Since I don't
do any gaming or graphics intensive computing, the Celeron Ds will probably
be more than adequate. They are fairly inexpensive and are apparently very
forgiving of overclocking.

I agree with those who won't buy again. I bought 2 Soyo boards. There is $70
out there and who knows if I will ever get it. Their cryptic e-mail on one
board is little comfort.
The P41 845PE seems to be running OK, but the 7VME seems to be suffering
from a USB problem. I am hesitant to update the BIOS from 2AA2 to 2AA4
mainly because I did not put a floppy in my latest build.

Its easy,dont buy items which offer "rebate after sending in a mail
coupon".

Why pay 50% too much,then got the money back...
Dealing 4 month with an rebate,will you cost too much time.

They are getting alot of rebates out everyday. Yours are coming,
please excuse any delay that you are experiencing. Also, they have the
Dragon 2 on the Soyo e-store site for $84.99 no rebate required!

Mailed my rebate for the K7VME barebones kit on 10 Sept 2004 and
yesterday I got word that the first rebate (from onrebate.com) for $20
was approved and would be received in a 7-14 days. Things are looking
up. Maybe the rest of the rebates $50 and $20 will be received before
the holiday bills come in. I got my equipment and "rebate" offer from
Tiger-Direct.

Still nothing and I can't registor on the site because the P4I865PE isn't even
on the list.

SOYO rebates are a scam.
