1. They figure you'll buy other things too.
2. Many people just never get around to mailing in the rebate (as I
sheepishly hide the $30 in rebates I just remembered I had to send in
before the end of October)
3. Often there are very specific conditions set on the rebates that if
you don't follow them, you don't get the rebate.
In spite of #3, Staples has been very good about rebates. One or two
people on the Heat Transfers list just posted glowing recommendations
for Staples for the lengths the managers went to in order to make sure
they received their rebates.
