Default Hewlett Packard cashback (OT in uk.d-i-y)

Have any of you done this, and is it pukka?

Reading the small print, there appear to be so many conditions which
have to be fulfilled in order to claim the cashback that I wonder how
many people actually succeed in getting their cash before they lose the
will the live.


I did it once with a printer for a similar level of deal; yes it did
eventually happen, after several months of chasing emails (each missive
was duly replied to by a human, with some reason or other for the delay,
and a new date by which I should receive the money, which then came and
went...); I'm sure if I hadn't kept following up I'd never have received it.
