Menards has been pulling this rebate scam for years. I live 100 miles from a Menards and I can not make a return drive to save a $1.00 on a future purchase. I quit shopping there years ago. I agree with Lana about giving the rebate off the top at the cash register. I don't think we will see it happen anytime soon however. Menards and others make money on this stuff. How many people follow through with the mail in rebates which orginally got them to put it into their cart in the first place?
