Thanks! That actually make sense although, as you indicated, it would be really nice if it was spelled out somewhere!
As for assuming I’ll get the rebate, I’m not going to do that just yet. When I originally submitted the application, they told me it would be 4-6 weeks until I got my check. When I was informed that the application was accepted, I was told 8-10 weeks. Sunday will be 4 months (18 weeks!) and I’ll wait until Monday to call and check the status of the rebate again and, if I don’t get a satisfactory answer, I’ll call my local news station’s consumer hot line. They’ve done 3 stories about the problems with Mass Save rebates over the last 5 years and, in each case, they were able to get the issue resolved in a short amount of time which should hopefully allow me to file my taxes before April 18th and avoid the possibility of having to file an amended return.
