I spent my very small rebate ($5) with Amazon in less than the blink of an eye and got three books. Most of my rebate at Barnes and Noble ($75) is still there because usually when I want to buy a book, it is considerably cheaper somewhere else.

Today I bought The Fault in our Stars because my granddaughters want me to read it now and the library hold list is long. I also bought The Rites of Spring to read for the MR Book Club. TFioS was $4.99 at Amazon and $8.99 at BN. TRoS was $5.19 w/coupon at Kobo and $10.99 at BN. I, of course, bought at Amazon and Kobo.

I know there are better deals available if I had the patience to cyber travel or wait for bigger codes but these prices were good enough for me to click "buy" and definitely better than BN.

Anybody else having trouble spending your rebates because your rebate dollars are in the wrong place?
