Complaints about rebates are skyrocketing, according to a story in U.S. News & World Report, with more shoppers growing frustrated over confusing redemption rules, tight deadlines, and other roadblocks to cashing in on the promised money back.

For those who are good at reading fine print, the article recommended several web sites listing the latest rebate offers, including: FreeAfterRebate.info, RebatePlace, PriceGrabber.com, and RebateList.net.
Just remember, a deal isn’t a deal unless it’s a deal on something you were planning to buy anyway.
