TigerDirect and OnRebate Scam
    "If you purchase something from TigerDirect and try to get the rebate from 
    OnRebate.com, Good Luck!" It seems that many people are being denied 
    rebates for items purchased at TigerDirect. TigerDirect points the fault 
    at OnRebate.com and washes their hands of it. But guess what? THEY'RE 
    SISTER COMPANIES!

    Based on Better Business Bureau files, Tiger Direct has an unsatisfactory 
    record due to a pattern of unanswered complaints including dissatisfaction 
    with product quality, failure to deliver promised goods, service issues, 
    misrepresentation in advertising and marketing practices and the failure 
    to address and overcome the basic cause of complaints.
