Just the other day I bought this PNY 2Gig Flash Drive as an “upgrade” to my 256MB. It arrived only two days later and early this morning before leaving for the St. Louis photobloggers meet-up (more on that later), I was preparing the information to mail out to get my $10 rebate on it.

I distinctly remember attaching the UPC to the print-out like they instructed.

I distinctly remember sealing the envelope.

I distinctly remember putting the stamp on the envelope.

I distinctly remember dropping it in a mailbox at my mom’s post office, along with a get-well card for a family friend who just had a biopsy on two golfball sized masses in his brain…

When I got home this evening, I happened to look on my scanner and see the copy of the original packing slip that I was supposed to include with the rebate form.

“Dang it!” I thought, “there goes my ten bucks.”

But then I thought, oh well, it was just $10 back via PayPal in 6 to 8 weeks (sheesh), even without it, it’s still a good price for the 2 Gigs.

But then I looked down… What did I see?

The actual rebate form with the attached UPC.

So what did I send in the envelope?

Apparently nothing!!!!!

Doh!

For what it’s worth, I blame this on the rebate company, them making me fill out their long survey and my information online then throwing it at me that I still have to mail something in. :P
