With my $600 rebate check, I plan on spending it all on Viagra so I'll be prepared for the upcoming hard times!

There was a link, but it turned out it was a schedule for the 2001 mailing.

It was from me. Was not correct. I have seen nothing else posted.

 

[weatherweenie]

I searched and searched..But I can't find the post where somebody put up the Rebate Check mail out schedule..can anyone give me a link?

TIA

I can't find it either. I did see one at my work that said that check would be sent out in order of the last two numbers of your SSN. That starting date was July 20 somthing so I think it was a left over from the 2001 rebate. I just checked out IRA.gov and all they have is "starting in May".

Most of the money will be used to pay off bills. However, some of it will be used for a downpayment on a cruise to the Bahamas. :toung:

A well thought-out plan, and one that will provide much satisfaction! We only live just the once.

I'll pay Uncle Sam about $1300 on 4/15 for a little (ahem) "underwithholding" (ahem) - & then get a check back from him in June or July for $1500.

It all makes perfect sense.

"underwithholding" ROCKS! I withhold just the right amount.

Why give Uncle Sam an interest free loan throughlout the year on MY money???

I'll take my interest on my money, thank you very much!

I claim just enough exemptions to even the playing field.

No huge tax refund here... I'd rather have the interest on my money throughout the year.

Stamps to mail in my TSP transfer requests.

I like it!

From an AP Poll Today
19 percent of the people surveyed said they planned to go out and spend the money; 45 percent said they'd use it to pay bills. And nearly half said what the government really should do is get out of Iraq.
