This program for these $40 DTV rebate cards IS a scam! In the first place, the $40 rebate falls about $20 - $25 short in covering the cost to buy a decent converter box for the coming analog/digital change THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS MANDATED. Secondly and more importantly, I don't understand why the cards have an expiration date!. I had misplaced my cards and found them literally the day AFTER their expiration. When I attempted to use them that day after expiration, the cards were "denied". When I called the DTV program phone number, I was told by a "specialist" that there was no way they could extend the expiration date by even 1 day. Then they told me I can't even reorder NEW cards because only 2 cards per address are allowed! This is so even though they can see by the card number that the card was not ever used. Additionally, my sister ordered 2 cards which never arrived in the 4-6 weeks they told her it would take. When she called up 8 weeks later to inquire as to their status, she was told that the cards WERE mailed out and that whether she received them or not, they couldn't replace them so she was out of luck. Again, they can see by the card numbers that the cards were not used....why can't they just cancel the old card numbers and reissue them???!!!
