That's not a rebate. That's an incentive to spend more money whether it's at their store or another store. Plus, the hoops you're having to go through to use it - buy books, get declined, remove a book, figure out where else to apply the balance, etc. - is almost more time than it's worth. I get having an "immediate" rebate since waiting 10 - 12 weeks for delivery is annoying, but still this system of pre-loaded debit cards just doesn't really work well. I’m with you.
