Not reading into it at all, but am curious why the CC company is doing
the searching; particularly if they "resent him using" the rebate
program. That's just more $$ out of their pocket they didn't need to
lose...

As noted in a further response, they make their fee on every purchase
and most of the ilk of Leon make pretty sizable use of them so that adds
up (not to 20% APR, no, but 3% or so I think is pretty typical; AmEx
raised to now almost 5% was what the building supply manager here told
me was why dropped them.

Ironically when I visit the CC company and review my spending for the
month the CC company actually marks certain purchases as possibly being
eligible for a price match. With that marker there is a link to add the
item to a list of items to be watched. You can either hunt for them and
send in the documentation of let them do the looking. That is what
happened on this GPS/Radio on the second credit.
