Recently built another system with some hardware i had lying around, had to order some ram, a power supply, and a graphics card, went with gtx 950. Was watching the price a bit since its probably gonna be getting sold so i was getting about $50 in rebates. Little did i know now a week later when i try to get the rebates is that in order to get the rebate you need the barcode on the box. So anyone who expects a rebate make sure you cut out the barcode! Now im out on my rebates so i guess thats how they get you

Oh we have them here in the states, they're kinda a way to get people to buy them since they'll say you can get a rebate back to get some money back, like a coupon but unless you do certain things (mail them the required information) you can get it back. I ordered these parts because they were good parts and have great rebates to get me some money back but after trashing all the boxes after the build i saw that you need information from the actual box to even be qualified for the rebate

the barcode just has the upc of the product, which you can look up online..

I know the box had upc but couldnt really find much online, although i didnt spend too much time on it. If i knew i had to keep the upc woulda just cut it out originally, guess gotta start reading the fine print haha
