Default Screwed by Canon Rebate

I think you jumped into the middle here. We were talking
about CREDIT CARD companies making it difficult to opt out
of mailings. We were not talking about rebate processors
doing that. Stop tilting at windmills!

Once again, except for isolated cases, there is no evidence that
this is done.

You gotta be kidding! You got it backwards. The reason you opt out is so
that your private info is not sold to the marketing companies otherwise
when you sign up for their services you agree to allow the info to be sold.
Next time read the fine print as almost every time you sign up for a
service you have to call/write and request to opt out of your personal
info being sold to all marketing companies.
It's just another way for companies to make money off you by selling
your personal information you had to give to them in order to get their
services.

Let me repeat again what I have already said in this thread. I
do a LOT of rebates. Except for one company (Peachtree), I do
not get any obvious mail/email as a result of my rebate
submissions. Others have confirmed this in earlier threads.
Unless you can prove otherwise FROM YOUR OWN PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE, please stop making claims that cannot be
substantiated.
