They should be honoring all of them. How many do you think they sold at $600 a pop that aren't even sold through any major carriers? Where is the love for all your beta testers Nokia? Its not like we are going to get anything for these when the next version comes out.

I got mine today saying I purchased the device outside of the "promo" dates. I will rise some stink over this. I preordered back in September yet my card was not charged until the date within the promo. Some Fu..k head is sitting and spewing this letters out.

I've heard nothing back so far, and no results on the nokiapromo.com site. I ordered on 12/17 and sent rebate around Jan 1st. Ovi Store did not exist so hopefully they have nothing to complain about. I gave them my already-existing Ovi account name instead (all the rebate said to do was "click the ovi store icon"... well, I did it :)). I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I did receive my $50 paypal cashback from Newegg today. :D

Re: Nokia Visa $50 rebate/prepaid card
 

Nokia's rebate company just sent me a rejection letter claiming I did not send a receipt. Yeah... hm... I still have the receipt on my N900 when I took it to work to print and mail.

They're really looking for any excuse to not give out the $50. Luckily I got the $100 from Bing a few weeks ago. That was quick and painless (no paper, no hassle) compared to Nokia's draconian methods.

a few weeks ago they told me i didnt meet the requirements too. i sent a scan of the box label and hoping they except it. they better accept it after they rejected the one with a panel with the imei

Re: Nokia Visa $50 rebate/prepaid card
 

i got the rejection letter as well, stating I didn't send in the original receipt or packing slip. Of course all I now have is a copy of the original packing slip. I suspected this would happen, I'm sure the vendor they're using to fulfill the rebates has to hit some redemption metrics, so they're invalidating legitimate rebates, knowing most people won't pursue.

Anyone have an escalation path to someone at Nokia who can do something about this?

Maybe you guys can try writing to Consumerist?

(I haven't heard anything..about my rebate either).

Re: Nokia Visa $50 rebate/prepaid card
 

I got my rejection letter today. Mine says the date of purchase on the receipt is "not within the valid dates of the offer". Complete bull---- of course. I plan to call the 800 number tomorrow, because this shady business can not go without pushback.

Re: Nokia Visa $50 rebate/prepaid card
 

i still haven't heard anything from them yet.

Re: Nokia Visa $50 rebate/prepaid card
 

I just got the same rejection letter. They are correct: I did not send the original receipt or packing slip. Why? Because the rebate form did not ask for it!

If you still have the PDF file, take a look. They are attempting to change the rules after the fact.

I am trying to keep an open mind, but it's hard not to conclude that this is and was always intended to be a scam.

Edit, May 17, 2010: Since I wrote the above, a number of people have reported receiviing their rebates, so the rebate program cannot be considered a scam. There are still some legitimate questions, though, about the way it was conducted, why the rules were changed, and why some of us who are entitled to the rebate have not received it.
