Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether rebate programs administered by third parties such as APFCO systematically deny valid claims.
What Customers Report About Rebate Programs
Consumers on Slickdeals report frequent rebate “invalidations,” requiring additional outreach to correct. Many describe confusing eligibility terms and disqualifications for minor technicalities—like separate receipts or mailing address formats—that weren’t clearly disclosed at the time of purchase.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
When rebate programs advertise savings but routinely deny claims on unclear or undisclosed grounds, that may constitute deceptive marketing. Automatically invalidating submissions or delaying payments can violate state UDAP laws and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act when tied to product warranties.
Signs You May Be Affected by Rebate Practices
- Your rebate claim was denied for unclear or arbitrary reasons.
- You received no rebate check or were told your submission was “incomplete.”
- The fine print did not match the advertised rebate terms.
