Why should YOU have to PAY EXTRA money up front for the products you purchase?

Why should YOU have to fill out forms, attach UPC codes, jump through hoops, mail in coupons, spend your time and postage, and then wait weeks to get YOUR MONEY back that retailers and manufacturers take from you with your purchase, with the often broken promise to send YOUR MONEY back to you?

Why should YOU have to pay higher prices for the manufacturers and retailers to administer this scam? Yes, these costs ARE BUILT IN to the cost of the items you purchase.
