I Phone 6 Plus

I bought a I Phone 6 Plus from COSTCO, Greenville,SC on February 13, 2016 and till today I have not received the $200.00 COSTCO Cash Card. I bought the I Phone 6 Plus because of the rebate that was offered. I have been cheated and my experience is similar to others who have voiced their opinion viz. "Stuart Lee Rebates is running a scam".

No cash card either

I purchased an iphone6 from Costco exclusively for the $225 cash card rebate offer. After 6-7 weeks, my rebate is still no showing up in their system. After reading all the reviews, I am appalled. I am headed to Costco tomorrow and will see what they say. This is outrageous. I may consider a civil lass action against Stuart Lee if this is not all resolved. I wouldn't have bought the phone if there hadn't been the offer.

Rebate Never Received

Fell for the "SCAM" also. We were promised a $250.00 Costco Cash Card as a rebate for purchasing a Samsung Note 5. Did all that was required, mailed the completed rebate request, and 18 weeks later we still have not received the rebate promised. Stuart Lee claims to have no record ( surprise...surprise). I wish that I had read these reviews on Stuart Lee before ordering the phone. Shame on you Costco for being associated with a bunch of crooks like Stuart Lee. As a member since 1991, i
I am truly disappointed in you for being associated with these criminals.

Denied Note 5 Rebate

For many weeks, the rebate status was showing as pending. Checking it now it shows denied. This is unacceptable, as customer service with Stuart Lee rebates is basically non existent.

NO REBATE

I purchased two S6 phones November 25, 2015 at the PX Fort Rucker Army Base, Fort Rucker, AL, each with a $250 rebate which was heavily advertised. Rebate papers were mailed the SAME day and acknowledged receipt by STUART LEE December 7, 2015.

JOHN GARCIA (334-598-1274) is the manager of the VERIZON sales department at Fort Rucker, Alabama. Was PROMISED refund in 12-14 weeks. HAS NOT HAPPENED.

Calls to Verizon about this issue was initially promising. On March 3, 2016, VERIZON told me I would receive my rebate on or before March 15, 2016. Never happened.

I called VERIZON again on March 25, 2016. VERIZON only wants to state they are not affiliated with rebate company (STUART LEE REBATES) and can not offer help. I can find NO WAY to contact STUART LEE REBATES other than an email form (which when completed, I get an IMMEDIATE (computer generated) answer stating my rebate has been ISSUED with a date of a month ago.

Calls to JOHN GARCIA are fruitless. He or his employees state that its out of their hands. More calls to VERIZON only gets the same info .... They are not affiliated with the rebate company.

EASY SOLUTION to issues like this: If a rebate is offered, then the rebate should COME OFF THE PURCHASE PRICE IMMEDIATELY.

JOHN GARCIA phone number: 334-598-1274
VERIZON (CHRIS - Supervisor with Verizon who has tried to help me) 585-721-9020.

VERIZON .... STUART LEE is giving you brand a BAD NAME!

Rebate Denied!

Purchased four phones, 3 iPhone 6S's with a $250 each rebate and 1 Samsung Galaxy with a $275 rebate. After about 10 weeks my status showed up on their website as pending for all four phones. Now at week 14 I check the status and two of the phones are denied due to "Carrier Deactivation". This is completely ridiculous since the phones were immediately activated and remain so today. Tried calling Stuart Lee directly at (425) 712-9880 but only received a tape response. Just send an email to customer service which I'm sure will go nowhere. Stuart Lee is a RIP OFF and Costco should honor the rebates directly. At present I'm out $525 and doubt I will see the other $500. The rebates were the only reason I purchased these phones!

Wireless Advocate/Stuart Lee

Purchased phone online was informed the accessory bonus (charger and $25.00 Costco card) would be received 2 weeks after purchase. That was February 18, 2016! I have contacted Wireless Advocate by phone and email only to receive template response send in paperwork. The paperwork was first emailed as requested and then mailed 2/21/2016, I still have not received the accessory bonus pack! Wireless Advocate/Stuart Lee is making Costco look bad!! I have purchased other items from Costco and no issues or waiting this long to received my rebates. I see on the website it takes up to 14 weeks to received $175.00 Costco shame on you doing business with a company with poor customer service.

Costco/Verizon rebates

Purchased 1 phone with $250.00 rebate December 3 2015 and another on December 23, 2015 along with a tablet that had a 100.00 rebate + a $40.00 rebate. Received the $100.00 rebate very promptly. On the Stuart Lee rebate site it shows they will be dispersed on or before March 15, 2016. What a lie! Over 16 weeks on the first one and 14 weeks on the other 2, does one have to file a complaint with the BBB. Is it possible to cancel the contract with Verizon?

Stuart Lee Rebates

I guess there should be some comfort in knowing I'm not alone with this issue. Today, 14.2 weeks following the date they received my rebate request, I still have no rebate, still reflects pending. I submitted a question via their contact option, and auto-response says I would hear between 5-7 work days. Within minutes following, I receive an email from them with a image of my *Pending* status and response indicating that they are still validating my request, and go it goes on to say that the process normally takes 12 - 16 weeks. Excuse me...16 weeks. NO WHERE does anything written or posted mention 16 week time frame. Even the image of my pending status that they included in the email says 12-14 weeks for processing. Something is very wrong here. On the exact day that it becomes 16 weeks I shall be bugging them again if I have not received my rebate. After that, I'm going to use my social media accounts to address this more publicly.

False promise

Hi,

Just like everyone else we purchased 2 note 5's at costco t-mobile with 250 rebate each ($25 + $225) during thanksgiving week, we submitted immediately and after 14 weeks they sent the 2 $25 rebates and that was it, a total ripoff, we are still trying to reach out to them to get the 2 $225 rebates but no response from them yet.

Costco Verizon Rebate

I also purchased a phone from the Verizon Kiosk inside Costco with the promise of a $200 rebate on Black Friday and still not rebate. I have called twice. The first time I called 3 weeks ago the lady said I should receive it by March 10th...here it is March 11th and no rebate. Called again just now and he can't even see my rebate request. I have purchased phones through the Costco Verizon Kiosk for years and always got my rebates in a few weeks. I have a number for all of you that can't find it. It is 1-888-369-5931. I am so irritated and I am tired of the run around. Good luck. I hope we all get our rebates!

Stuart Lee rebates/Costco

Purchased two Note 5. Came with four rebates 2ea. $15 and 2ea. $250. Stuart Lee sends the 2ea. $15 rebates then says they've fulfilled the order. No one to talk to of course. The people working the kiosks (wireless advocates) act like they don't know. Huge scam. Costco is not taking responsibility. It's a bunch of bs. I guess Costco doesn't take the high road. All about greed now.

Stuart Lee rebate scam

I purchased 3 Samsung S6 phones with rebates of $250 per phone in November 2015. I submitted the rebate forms within 2 days of the purchase. I checked the Stewart Lee website and found no information about my rebate 8 weeks after submission. I received an email from Stuart Lee having me upload all of the information and copies of the receipt again. It is now 14 weeks since my purchase and have no more information about my 3 rebate cash cards. Stuart Lee gives no phone number and no option to speak to a live person. After a lot of Google tracking I found a phone number that appears to be the Stuart Lee Rebate Center or at least is in the same location as the Rebate Center. The number is 425 - 712 - 9880. If you call this number it does not give any information as to what company or business you have reached and simply says there are no agents available but gives you the option to leave a message. I have left several messages with no response. Maybe if enough people call someone will respond or they may just disconnect the phone number. I I'm not even positive that this is the Stuart Lee Rebate Center but it does show up that way in the Google search engine even though when you call there is no indication that it is affiliated with Stuart Lee or any other company for that matter. I am amazed that Costco would do business with the company like Stuart Lee.

Stuart lee rebate is a Costco's class A Scam

So you goto Costco and see a nice rebate on the new IPhone. Since its at Costco, you easily all for it considering the company's reputation. You send the required documents and copied to the address provided by the Verizon Kiosk - what next ? a long wait before you give up a hope for any money back.

Talked to Costco and they don't deal with the mail in rebate and it's all via Stuart Lee. Verizon has no information as its Costco who is offering this rebate. I should have know the mail in rebates are all the same. Looks like my $400 is gone down the drain and there is not much I can do.

Any lawyer looking for a good case and publicity can definitely file a law suit and get any needed support from people who have posted their complain here. Count me in.

Rebate from Verizon/Costco

I bought an iphone and an LG Pad from Verizon at the kiosk in the Costco store. I was supposed to receive 2 rebates totaling $350. These items were purchased on Oct. 31 and November 2, 2015 and I have still not received anything to this day, which is March 3, 2016! I went to the website to get some information and it shows my rebate as being mailed out on Feb. 2, 2016, a whole month ago. Their website does not give a phone number to call and ask questions...so frustrating. My next step is to go into Costco to see if they may have some information to help me with this problem.

Costco Verizon Rebate Ripoff

Stewart Lee Rebates a scapegoat for Costco and Verizon’s unethical practices?
So you buy a phone from Verizon at Costco because of the Costco advertised rebate.
A good deal so you think until it doesn’t come and you can’t get any information from anyone?
Costco says it’s now not their rebate, even though you purchased the phone and plan from the Verizon Kiosk in their store and the rebate was advertised in their flyer? Verizon claims they are not connected of course. So, who in the hell is Stewart Lee anyway? A trumped up fake company that has no assets and sole purpose is to dissuade you by attrition that it’s just not worth continuing to pursue your rebate?
I can’t find any other public forum that these bitch sites so I would suggest that you respond to this same site with your email address so we can compile a list of violated customers.
Then maybe we can get a lawyer to file a class action suit against these crooks and just may get our rightfully owed rebate plus something extra for all our work?
Excuse my French but this is just plain bullshit.
