Depending on how you work those - after all someone on here mentioned selling beer vouchers in the parking lot to local cheap beer aficionados as an advantage play, so I'm assuming anything goes - they could also be a source of profit. I was just wondering if other things were figuring into the "I could make $100K off an $xxx rebate" claims.
For a loss rebate play, I don't consider any of the "extra" stuff as part of the value of it when doing the math on it, unless it's something worthwhile -- typically, the mail, comps, points, etc. will not be worthwhile.
