mine had a must be mailed on date of 10-30-10 and i bought it on launch day. thats 2 months. try calling sprint and haggling it out of them. ive heard of people having rebate issues and calling sprint and getting an instant credit...
edit: ive never NOT had the salesperson prepare my rebate for me. they usually get it all ready in a envelope fully filled out, just needing a stamp.
also, you should send in the rebate as soon as you buy the phone even if you dont plan on keeping the phone, because they can tell if you dont keep it. if you do, it will process, if not it will get rejected. sometimes even if you take the phone back, it will get approved. surprise. 100 bucks.

You would be very lucky if someone took the phone back with the UPC removed. Most stores will not accept returns with the UPC removed.

i didnt send in any upc...

Fill out the form in its entirety.
Include your sales receipt, email receipt, online order summary printout, or packing slip. Must be dated between 9/12/10 and 10/30/10.
Your rebate must be postmarked no later than 11/13/10.

any one of these 4 documents will work. they dont even ask for a upc any more....

I can confirm this.

I sent mine in late and finally received an approved status.

Not to mention the 25th fell on a Saturday so chances are you get a couple extra days from that since you can't really send on days they are closed.

just got both my rebates. bought on launch day, mailed them within the week. so it took almost a full 60 days. im kinda mad they were paper cheques though. i was kinda hoping for a prepaid card.

checks are better then prepaid cards..prepaid card usually means they are going cheap on you...

Sucks that it took that long for you...

I sent mine in on 9/27 and already got mine.
