Rebates that Suck

If you've ever bought a product at Frys, CompUSA, OfficeDepot, etc or online because of a mail in rebate you know that a lot of retailers aren't very scrupulous with these. Here's my list (completely anecdotal, from cruising SlickDeals and my own experience):

Bad:
TigerDirect
Viking
Expressgroup
ecost-PcUSA
Patriot
I/O Magic

Maybe:
Samsung (I was promptly rejected for a laser printer because they weren't satisfied with the receipt-- it was a print out from NewEgg-- but I didn't try to fight it because it was for work)

Good:
OfficeDepot
Seagate (online tracking)
PNY
